Zach RiceYou're not alone about the slab cracking, many do it, including myself. I like being able to flip through a binder and view my cards versus sorting threw a giant stack of slabs. Plus, it allows you to be able to feel your cards and get an idea of how certain issues vary in thickness, amount of gloss on the surface, etc. You also can't smell your cards when they're in a slab
You'd be suprised at cards scents vary. I have an E97 that smells of mold, and a cracker jack that smells like a flowery perfume.
