Great photos, Tyler, Rob, and Chris...
A slab is kinda like bubblewrap... Most of the slabbed cards I've acquired have been broken out. A card travels better in the mail if it's in a slab. For folks who leave the cards in slabs for protection, then leave them in their shipping packaging, too. That'll keep the sunlight out, protecting them more (except for any moisture or mold that is on that slabbed card ((that could be eliminated if the card were removed and dried))). Just print off a page that has the scan of the card you bought, and tape that to the envelope.
A stack of white border cards fit nicely enough in a small box, and take up about the same space as 8 slabs stacked together... the raw cards take about 98% less space. And the cards become easily sortable, neat to lay them next to each other when following the series changes or the uniform changes...
ARRRRRRRR...... how do Pirates like their cards? RRRRRRAWWWW!!!!!
