Did bringing in thousands of collectors with slabs save the coin hobby?
The hobby was doing just fine without the slabs. It has spurred some interest and made collection values increase, I'll give you that Jim, but the "hobby" itself was there before and will survive long after the slabs are history. Maybe I am a little old school and I must admit I enjoy having the cards entombed and displayed in the holders for a number of reasons, but as far as "saving" the hobby, I can't agree on that one.
