Baseball HOF Says No to Slabbed Cards

This is a nonsense article that tells us nothing about the plastic holders that PSA and SGC use. Some guy working for the Hall of Fame - which has a terrible track record of taking care of their own inventory - says "we don't know about slabs, plus they're too big", so the writer jumps to a silly conclusion that they must be bad.

He should have at least waited to get a response from PSA and SGC before publishing this article. It's shoddy journalism.

I hope slabs currently made do a decent job of protecting the cards. Most collectors own some. I have all 3 of the big TPGs holders and am fine with it. Plus on occasion, when one is slightly mishandled it's not a big deal. To each their own though.

I second that Leon. I'd say I drop at least one slabbed card a month in circumstances that would likely wreck a card in a card saver or top loader. Ever since I creased the crap out of a Hank Greenberg card I never underestimate the power of my clumsiness.

I also affirm Adam's endorsement of BCEmylar.com. Bill Cole Enterprises produces top of the line MYLAR products. I've used them for years. They're not cheapie shlock; rather, pure quality protection for your treasured photos and sports cards. Worth every penny. ---Brian Powell
