I would never bid on a slabbed anything.
The reasons are painfully obvious, aren't they?

Subject: [MOPO] Slabbed Lobby Cards at Heritage
I have been browsing through the latest Heritage catalogue and once again
it is very impressive. One thing that will be of interest to many is that
amount of "slabbed" lobby cards that appear in this auction. A great many look
to be sealed in some sort of plastic with a grading by CGC whoever they may be.
I have never been too keen on the idea of slabbed lobby cards and wonder
what you guys think about them. My concerns are:
a.. Slabbing and grading the cards would add to the overall cost of the
cards and surely it would be hardly worthwhile on lobby cards of medium value -
say $200.00
b.. What materials are used when slabbing the cards? Is the plastic and
materials used to slab the card acid free, uv protected, etc?
c.. It looks as though the plastic may be flexible ie it could be bent or
creased. Does slabbing protect the card from any damage?
d.. How does slabbing affect framing?
e.. What happens if sunlight affects the card?
f.. If damage occurrs whilst the card is slabbed can the card be
regraded?
g.. How will this "trend" affect lobby cards that have not been slabbed?
h.. Will the value of lobby cards be increased or decreased by slabbing?
I know that some collectors will prefer to have the card in its original state
and will avoid purchasing cards that have been slabbed. No doubt, there will be
others who will like the idea.
