Default Slabs are like Bras/OT
Slabs are to cards...as bras are to boobs. right?

slabs protect the card...bras protect the boobs.

slabs "present" the cards...as bras "present" the boobs...right?

Every guy I know loves a nice pair of boobs...we don't talk about the bras?

So why does the slab matter so much...to so many????

That you acknowledge it's OT suggests you haven't entirely lost your mind.

Do they make bras that disclose "Authentic Altered"?

Bra's are meant for support, just like TPC's are for mental support

Is this something you’ve been thinking about for a while or did it just pop into your head, and in either case why do you think this is appropriate for a vintage baseball chat board?

Slabs for oversized cards are known as 'Dolly Partons.'

At first they seem impossible to get open but you eventually get the hang of it.

sorry Jay if I offended...it just popped into my head...hearing people on facebook talk incessantly about how great this slab is vs that slab...seems kinda silly to me thats all...thought it might provide some comic relief with all the crapola going on in the world right now.

The ones with the biggest numbers are best, and the price guys will pay can almost double with each incremental increase.

Seems that ‘Morganna’ would be much more accurate….historically speaking.
