By the way, I am not convince the value of a 1 or a 2 is enhanced by being slabbed. .

I prefer slabs on mine for a few reasons, but the predominant one is, the vast majority of transactions I'm in on, are over the interwebs... Slabs, for all their flaws, do help protect me as a buyer. It's not like the old show days where you could examine each card up front, feel the stock etc etc...

The new online purchasing world makes slabs almost requisite, especially for any card over the $500 threshold IMO

Default Easily 100+

I think slabbing is fine if it does not impact the value. Cards are still worth what someone else is willing to pay so I never consider paying more for a graded card and often times I don't agree with the grade. I recently discovered I can let my two year old play with them before I bust them out which is a positive. If I did believe in leaving them in the holder then I would collect SGC over PSA for eye appeal.

Opening is easy with my handy dandy letter opener. Two turns and a pop and the cards free without damage. I haven't damaged any of the 100 or so I've busted out over the years.

Great photos, Tyler, Rob, and Chris...


A slab is kinda like bubblewrap... Most of the slabbed cards I've acquired have been broken out. A card travels better in the mail if it's in a slab. For folks who leave the cards in slabs for protection, then leave them in their shipping packaging, too. That'll keep the sunlight out, protecting them more (except for any moisture or mold that is on that slabbed card ((that could be eliminated if the card were removed and dried))). Just print off a page that has the scan of the card you bought, and tape that to the envelope.

A stack of white border cards fit nicely enough in a small box, and take up about the same space as 8 slabs stacked together... the raw cards take about 98% less space. And the cards become easily sortable, neat to lay them next to each other when following the series changes or the uniform changes...

ARRRRRRRR...... how do Pirates like their cards? RRRRRRAWWWW!!!!!

Once liberated from a two piece, put with one of my handy dandy inserts (which I am going to eventually get around to actively selling) and put in a top load, I am quite fine with the absence of a slab. Good protection, takes up a fraction to the space and looks pretty nice too, IMO.
