I agree with Ari I cant see even the remotest possibility that lobby cards will ever be slabbed.

I work in the Rare Coin and Banknote industry (again) and while US coins are slabbed, the rest of the world frowns upon it. In Australia, or at least where I work if we get a slabbed coin we grab a screw driver and smash the slab and card it. I personally wouldnt buy a slabbed card, unless the price was the same as an unslabbed card, then receiveing it id smash the slab and TOUCH the card and smell it and enjoy the PAPER. I dont collect plastic. Investoprs might like slabbed but collectors (I HOPE) want to feel what they love.
