Slabs don't always protect
Posted By: Kevin Saucier
When inspecting a slabbed card make sure to look very closely at the corners and edges. Not necessarily for alterations but for damages caused by the slab itself. Just because a card is in a holder does not always mean it is better protected. |

Sadly, I see minute gasket/rail dings on a couple of cards. From poor packaging and Post Office handling. |

Or the slab could just decide to open up and dump your card: |

Paul, I won the Weaver in a Mastro auction. The auction catalog showed the card in its normal position. The card somehow slipped out of place during shipping. I liberated it. |

Did the Weaver suffer any damage? Did Mastro accept any responsibility? |

My contribution. I won this card from an auction and the card was fine in the auction photo, so the damage almost certainly occurred in transit. Granted it is only a "1", but it is irritating nonetheless. |

If you drop a graded card on the floor, the case will break and screw the card up. If you drop a card in a top loader, nothing will happen to it :D |

I don't follow... how can the rails, which don't come anywhere near the corner, damage the corner? Are you saying the card is too tight in the slab so the whole card is being crushed? |

Look on pages 16-17 of the new Goodwin & Co. catalog for a nice selection of slabbed cards that are rotated about 45 degrees inside the slab. |
