Why do people De-Slab???

[slym2none]

Using bigger words never makes anyone a bad guy. I never thought of you that way.

 

Using French words when English will do???

Just to chime in on the OP question -

 

Every slab I buy, I crack out. However, I don't buy high grade stuff. Most of what I buy is in the 6.0 - 9.0 range. I buy slabbed books because it gives me the extra assurance that the book is probably resto free and will be in the grade that I am looking for. When I buy raw, especially on Ebay, I cannot always be certain either of those things will be true.

 

In addition, the graded books I buy are quite frequently no more expensive, and sometimes cheaper, than their raw counterparts. Therefore, I see no reason not to buy them and crack them out.

 

Simply stated, I buy other people's disappointments.

 

In my mind, the real question is, why did that person slab that Hulk 155 that was graded 7.5 in the first place? $10 bucks, sure,

That would be cool. I second the motion.

 

Maybe I should've put an ad in Overstreet with a slogan like this, or Craigslist.
