I prefer my photos not to be slabbed. If I purchase it slabbed, I typically evaluate the photo and determine if it's worth it to crack out or not.
Some are slabbed with a pedigree label (for example a players personal estate), I'll keep it. I've also had photos that were old, bone dry & brittle where any attempt to crack out would likely cause damage in the process.
Even just eye appeal only, a lot of snapshots photos don't look great when slabbed because of all the different sizes that don't fit exactly.
8x10 photos do look nicer in slabs as it's more uniform size.
