I have never and will never understand this fixation with slabbing ("But it makes you more monnneyyy!!! It's impossible to sell anything without a slab!" If I have to hear this one more time...). I have over 150,000 autographed items that could fit in slabs. Forget about the cost, or that I'm more comfortable with my own knowledge over that of whoever determines if my signed item gets slabbed...can you imagine having 150,000 plastic clunkers in your possession? You'd have to buy a second house.

150K autographed items? Do you have a list of images?
