Why I Don't Like The Slab Phenom

[N e r V]

 

I also collect houses (have a dozen, here in SoCal), and that's where my heavy sugar goes.

 

OK, there's an area you should avoid slabs.

On the contrary; they are all ON slabs...:wink:

 

 

 

On second thought when the big one comes they'll have something to slide on.

We're long overdue. Could be that when it eventually does happen, I'll be on a slab myself! :wink:

We all get slabbed eventually. My goal is to present better than grade.

With slabs we don't have horror stories anymore.

 

You really sure about that?, cast your mind back a few years

People buy HG CGC books to avoid accidentally buying a fake Rolex a la Dupcak

Slabbing is good you can use them as coasters for your beer

Looking well loved and used is easy, being well loved and looking better than grade requires maintenance.

Alas, I present well, but I probably wouldn't pass a resto-check, ...I might get a conserved grade though.

To the OP - what do you think of this beauty?

 

 

I can tell you what I think.

 

I think you should sell it to me.

If FD is pimping that raw beauty I think you should get a room (next to the sales thread).

That's a dapper looking werewolf.

So can we all agree that other than books worth hundreds of dollars, books worth thousands of dollars, pedigree books, high grade books, and books with authenticated author/artist signatures, 3rd-party certification is useless?

But let us not forget, the ultimately useless TPG Slab also replaced the original Fortress as a comic holder providing a lot of obviously unwanted protection for fragile books.

Oops, I left "fragile books" out of the list - good call!

Really. You don't say.

This book is NOT for sale.

But this book is EXHIBIT A why CGC is important. I paid a lot for it. A lot. I finally went around to getting it slabbed last summer.

 

Color touched. I got it from a major major dealer, one who I have bought from a long time and will buy from again. I believe I paid - roughly - triple what I should have, had I known it was color touched. I still love it, it is a beautiful copy, but I'm a little vexed about it.
