New craziness from the opinion sellers

[doug.goodman]

WTF?

And while my 84 year old mother may think that means "well that's fantastic" I mean that in a completely different way...

Is "creative" a synonym for "stupid"?

[D. Bergin]

Lol!

[ooo-ribay]

They will literally do anything for a buck.

I don't know what's worse...

The Auction House Write-up ("creatively slabbed by Beckett")

The Submitter (who the hell submits something like this to be slabbed?)

or

The TPG itself (cannot improve on Doug's WTF description)

Okay, it's probably Beckett, but at least they provided a good laugh.

In order of "worseness"

Opinion sellers

The submitter

I actually like the auction write-up, it's better than saying what they were thinking which is probably similar to what we are all saying on this thread.

As a Cub guy, I looked at this and thought what many of you are saying - but - I couldn't understand what this meant -
", this is really nice and a condition rarity in this quality"

There is a possibility this has been folded for 110+ years and unfolding it could actually be worse than just keeping it as is. Of course that makes no sense but anything is possible.

PSA did that with a rare Joe Louis piece I had. Drove me crazy. I finally found one raw so I could see the back.

It seems like some of you think this cut in half and in two slabs. It is folded in half in one slab. The fold is original

So what? Everyone knows it’s just folded. The question is… What is more important… slabbing it or viewing it?

Same choice rare comic book collectors face, times 10. Be able to see all the pages, or just the covers.

So, none of the slabbers have anything that could accommodate this thing unfolded? Each side is in the 8x10 range? As Rocky said, I would crack it out and frame both pieces, as one. At a minimum, I’d put both halves in a rigid top loader.

CGC had this product many years ago for oversized photos, but it never caught on.

Sealed in more of a big vinyl pouch, rather then a big heavy plastic slab.

Not the easiest thing to photograph or scan, but it would solve the problem slabbing bigger items in heavy plastic.
