I know more than one lawyer who would like to take a shot at the bench but cannot afford to take a judicial position. We lose a lot of good judges every year to the private arbitration/mediation business.
As far as slabs go, I definitely see the financial value of slabbing stuff to sell but I am sick of the storage headaches and costs of slabs for cards I don't want to sell. I haven't submitted a card for slabbing in quite some time and my submittals probably will be few and far between in the future. Not in any way a critique of slabbed cards, simply my growing preference not to have thick, heavy plastic cases to deal with.
