I buy a ton of old cards in slabs to verify authenticity, or sometimes because its the only one i can find or the price is right, etc. However, for my enjoyment of my collection, i always remove them and put them in plastic sheets in albums. I love going thru my collection in albums, and i love the way the cards look in sheets in albums.

In fact, i had been going crazy buying for months, but let the cards build up instead of doing them one by one as they came in, and the other day i had to crack all of them at once and take the cards out, what a pain in the butt to do a load of these at once! Note to self: Do them as they come in, dont let them build up!!

But if you wonder if its ok to remove the cards from slabs, its all up to the individual. If you want your cards like i do in albums instead of slabs, by all means take them out!!
