Personally, the slabbing or not slabbing of a photo makes no difference in whether or how much I would bid on an item. I wouldn't pay more because of the cert or the slab, but I wouldn't pay less either. I don't care for the photo slabs of either company. If I had to choose, I think the PSA version is nicer.

I can certainly appreciate someone's desire to protect a high value photo. I guess for me a pic in a sleeve in a binder, a rigid top loader, or frame is enough. I like having the option of actually handling the stuff I own.
