I am with Leon on this one. I don't like the slabs, but when I buy on eBay or the BST here, there is too much risk of getting a doctored card or even a forgery. And those risks go up big time with value of the card. I don't think I would buy a 52 Mantle from my own grandmother unless it was slabbed.
I know neither is infallible, but getting authentication from SGC or PGC is worth it, IMO, and much better than buying a loose card online.
