    I think the intent to show that it was graded during this 'tough grader' period.

    Looking to have some custom cuts or plain custom cards built? PM me.

    @alifaxwa2 ..... I didnt even realize there were two era's of grading.... What is the cutoff?

    Could also indicate that the slab is nicer and unscratched compared to a card that was graded 10 years ago. Damaged and scratched holders drive me crazy, so this is something I would look for.

    Really don't think is means it was graded during tougher grading period. Probably was just reslabbed.

    When I see "just Slabbed" I sometimes think that the seller is probably less likely to discount much in order to recoup some of their recent grading fees.

    No idea. But been lots of complaints here and other places about grading tougher lately.

    That's what I think as well. It's a nice, new slab that has the newest technologies in the grading industry.

    The newer slabs have additional security measures to prevent fraud. Some people like to have the newer slabs for this reason. Also, people who are OCD might want all the slabs to be the same in a set they are collecting. Does it mean you can get a premium for the newer slabs? Maybe a little to the right person. I have never seen anything near double or triple though.

    1."from pack to slab"
    2."one owner, from 20 yr old sleeve to slab"
    3."Pope blessed, from Vatican to slab"
    4."from a sealed pack which was FASB which was FASC to slab"
    on and on since 2009(my time in slab works)
    ok, maybe not the third one it's for effect only
    :D
