I do not believe that voting yes means you are a slab collector. For me, it just means I want things to look nice if I have them displayed. I don't care all that much if a card I have is slabbed or not and have cracked many slabs, but I do have some more valuable cards in slabs on display. A notable scratch just would not look very nice for something displayed. That's very different than collecting slabs.

No I would never care if there was a small scratch on some random area of my slab. If there are criss crosses over the face of the card and it obscures the view of the card, yes that would bother me. But I would never not buy a card because there was an errant scratch on the slab.
I also think it depends on what level card is involved. I’d buy a 52 Mantle in a scratched slab. At that level I don’t care if I have to reholder it. Is there really anyone in the world who would let a deal for a Van Gogh fall apart because they had to have it reframed? Last edited by packs; 01-31-2025 at 08:12 AM.

The pole is too general for me to answer. As many have said disfiguring scratches or gouges would definitely turn me off on a more expensive yet common card. If the card were rare or something I had to have it would not bother me from a standpoint of purchase, but I may choose to re-suit it down the road even though I hate slabs. It's more about liquidity for me.
