Joe P."I don't want to detract from the main theme of this thread but...
I'm a "slabhead."
I have cards slabbed/encapsulated for different reasons and none of them have to do with investment or appreciation. Not all "slabheads" do so for profit. I don't have all of my cards encapsulated so I guess that makes me a pseudo slabber (or someone that's a "wanna be" slabhead)?
I have different cards encapsulated to protect them. I feel better knowing that I am doing my best to make the cards available for future generations to enjoy."

Judge, I love your introduction:
I'm a "slabhead."
It almost sounded like an intro to a AA meeting. 
I just wanted to add that I have already described your particular slabhead sect on another thread.
Nothing wrong with it, it makes valid sense for the reasons you've given.
Now back to the main event.
