Grading company slabs thought...

[CrackaJackKid]

Not sure if this subject has been discussed or not yet previously but has anyone ever thought it’s odd that the same type of slab that holds a $20 card can hold a 10K card and up. Not saying I have a solution or a fix all idea but I would just think A higher end card would have a more durable/thicker/maybe more stylish slab. Thoughts??

For the most part I think the current slabs are great for the high end cards. Maybe the cheap cards need a cheaper slab.

My all time favorite slab was the GAI slab, Basically the same exact design of the new PSA slabs with a cool black insert like SGC to make the card pop.

... I like the "First Graded" old original GAI slabs & flips----.my favorite has always been the old old "SCD" Magazine grading label just on sheer eye-appeal plus it had the subgrades on the back a la old Big "B" Beckett.....plus there's a pretty good chance that Bob Lemke himself personally handled and graded the card and that's neat I think...

I love the armor plated Beckett slabs and that I can trust that nothing has been done to it.

I just wish they could axe the baggy inside, the one big drawback.

I do agree that the Beckett slabs are the most appealing as far as durability.
