Signed Gehrig paycheck wanted

My solution to slabbing when framing is making a high quality copy of the item and framing that.

All autograph pieces--and photos, too, for that matter, should be removed from their slabs. They are not an archival storage method--the plastic is not archivally safe. You will not find a single slabbed item at any serious repository of important paper items--museums, universities, libraries, etc.

I wouldn’t pay more for a slab but they don’t seem to irk me like they do many of you.
Maybe not archical material for the next 200 years, but sort of doubt anyones going to be around worrying about a Lou check in 2222.

You're quite wrong. First, it isn't two hundred years . It's more like twenty. Second, there will be interest in Gehrig two hundred years from now. And third, it's our job to protect these artifacts while we own them, and before we pass them on. If you're not willing to ensure their survival as best you can, you have no business owning them.

David,

Have you ever bought anything in a PSA slab, be it a card, photo, ticket, whatever?

If so I'm guessing you immediately busted it out.

But just curious.

As a matter of fact, yes.
I've purchased one slabbed autograph.

Provide me cites to a couple of peer reviewed scientific articles on this supposed 20 year rule. Sounds like it must be well established. I am real curious to read them. Thanks.

Gehrig will be important to mankind if 200 years. What a preposterous statement to make with such certainty.

If I want to buy 100 Gehrig checks and wipe my dogs ass with them that’s my prerogative. What a condescending moronic comment. All because I don’t have an objection to a psa holder. Get over yourself.

You couldn't read a peer-reviewed scientific paper--that takes inmate intelligence, and years of training. Of course, your statement that no one will be interested in a Gehrig check in 2222 isn't preposterous. Only mine, that people will, is. And if you really believe that you don't have a responsibility to protect these items, you and your dog's ass have a lot in common.
