When you are trying to put together a 'cherry' set from the 1980's, hell yeah it's all about the slab! 792 cards in a set...multiply that with PSA grading fees for each card...then recognize that some schmo is disappointed with their PSA8 Britt Burns and PSA9 Ron Hassey and you have to question the sanity of those gathering 'the slabs' in a world where you can buy a box for less than $200 and create a nice little NM-MT (some 10's) set worth about $175. No worries about trimming or re-backing, just try and locate the baseball card dealer at the show who still brings commons! He may be as hard to find as the Yetti!
