Entombed in Plastic

Love the picture Chris (except the Dunkin Donuts cup next to them on the table - that makes me nervous )

Man, that picture says to me what baseball card collecting is all about!

A box beside my work bench in the basement. Haven't emptied it in a few months.

Yet another great snapshot that makes me happy this afternoon!

All of them. hate slabs.

Here's the thing...in just plain old top loads I have a set of 518 (plus one) T206s in two photo boxes...how much room would it take to keep this set in slabs.

If I sell my cards I'll get some slabbed, but only the high grade stuff.

I've cracked probably about 100 or so T205's over the years.



1. you like to devalue your card
Lost money on most of the ones I sold, due to the economy, not due to the fact they were raw. (All were low grade anyway.)

2. you like to risk damaging the card from handling
I've taught myself to be VERY careful.

3. you like water or mildew staining to advance
Never thought about this one.

4 you like to risk damage during crackout
I've always been a gambler.

What happened to number 5?

6 you like small plastic shards on the floor or in your eye.
I wouldn't say I like it, but it's a small price to pay for a piece of history that I can touch, feel and smell.

Most importantly...TO EACH HIS OWN.

cracking slabs is fun until you turn a VGEX e98 cobb into GOOD

[g_vezina_c55]

Don't you know you guys are skewing all the Pop reports? How dare you, that's important research information.
