If it were me I would leave them in the slabs. IF you ever go to sell them, any higher end ones have to be in slabs to get all of the value of them, imo. If you want to touch cards buy some low grade, cheap commons and have at it. I probably have half my cards in slabs and half not....but 99% of my higher end ones are slabbed. And I still have hundreds that aren't...and have been touching them all morning already....

Default Looking at cards in albums is

usually pretty cool, however to pretend that you are offered even remotely the same level of protection is to me laughable. I have damaged a card or two in my life while thumbing thru binders I have never damaged a card while looking at it in a graded companies holder.

even if you never intend to sell...

#1 - what if one day you do?

#2 - They are probably best protected and cared for in a slab
