question
I collected cards as a kid in the '50s and still enjoy gum and wax stains, edge wear, creases and the smell of old cards.
Here is one thing I don't get about slabbed cards...
I was at the Shriner's show yesterday and saw a box of slabbed cards for sale at $1.25 apiece. I didn't look at them, I assume they are all UV, but later I wondered how anyone can sell slabbed cards so cheap?
Doesn't it cost way more than that to get a card slabbed (never done it myself, don't collect them)?
And why would anyone slab a modern card that isn't even worth the cost of grading?
To each his own, I agree, just need someone to explain the logic behind this to me.
