My favorite slab... Post yours

I like PCGS as most of you may already know, but felt like sharing my favorite slab from my slab collection. This is a compugrade slab with a grade of MS63.8! The slab is thick and heavy and seems to be a hard one to crack (I would never do it). It cost all of $32.00. Just wanted to share my favorite old slab. Post yours.

      I know it's not politically correct but it's still a part of early slab history. There wasn't a PCGS or NGC around when this Morg was slabbed.
      No I didn't buy it for the coin I bought the holder.
      No I didn't pay the price on the sticker.

      Keifer,

      Nice 1921. Looks closer to a 64.8 to me; what's YOUR grade?

      Dog97,

      You know I love that date; what, .. ahem.. VAM number is it? image

      Both of you guys can keep the slab; just send me the coin(s)! image

      It is, but never fear it's okay. Actually the coin is only a 64, in my opinion, which is one of many reasons why I cracked it out.

      Here's mine. It was a combination of buying the coin AND the holder. Just so happens that the coin (which I needed) came in a very elusive early PCGS slab.

      Great PGS is getting into holder varieties now. That's the no insert, foam ring variety right?

      Flexibility in the marketplace - the key to survival!image

      We're also thinking of multicolored holders, slabs that serve as pocket calendars, PGS combination cell phones/coin slabs, the PGS utility knife and slab (a super Swiss Army Knife variation), the PGS creditcard holder/certified slab, the PGS anti-attack pepper spray slab, and a slab that also holds family portraits.

      I noticed you won your comic book.. congrats..

      So by buying a Comic in a slab, you can never read it.. do you also have a reading copy of it in a lower grade? Or did
      you buy it just to admire the cover and never intend to actually read it??..

      While coins in slabs make sense to me, Comic Books in slabs do not

      Hey Harv, I will probably be shuned for say this, but you hit the nail on the head. Those who buy comic books in slabs do so for the sa ame reason as they buy coins in slabs; they are afraid (or incapable) of rendering their own opinion about the grade of the comic (or coin). To those people, it doesn't really matter what the coin really is, or what is within the pages of the comic book. They are buying someone's opinion because they want to have a hobby, but for some reason cannot judge for themselves what is interesting or not. Sad.

        Flame? You're over reacting. I'm not flaming anyone. I just asked a simple question. A coin doesn't have pages.
        When it's in a slab you can see both sides.. you just can't see the edge. But who takes a raw coin and holds it up
        for someone else and says "Wow, look at the edge on this coin. Have you ever seen a nicer edge!?" No one.
        So who cares. Very few coins have anything on the edge.. higher denomination Euros do, Saints, do, but
        for the vast majority of coins, thy either have a smooth edge or a Reeded Edge.. it's the faces that
        matter..

        A comic book is a whole different animal from a coin. It has an obverse and a reverse (covers) but it has pages.

        So my simple question was does she have a lower grade copy to read, or did she buy it just for
        the covers, mainly the front cover.. maybe it has some special meaning.

        I've gotten those huge Heritage Comic Signature Sale Auction catalogs that weigh 100 pounds and have zillions of
        color photos of slabbed books in them, and I thought Hmm, it might be cool just to own one slabbed
        comic just for the halibut, but not unless it was one that I already owned in case someday I just
        happened to accidentally on purpose want to see what's inside of it..

        So to sum up, I don't think coins in slabs are silly. I think comics in slabs are mostly silly, but I wouldn't
        mind owning ONE just to have one, as long as I also had another copy of the comic I could read.. and that is how
        I thought most big buck comic collectors approached it.. the vintage comics that I own are all bagged and boarded,
        but I can pull them out of the bags and flip through them if I want to..

        bust halves & dollars have lettered edges, which i insist on being able to read. all coins have THREE sides, only TWO of which show in the slab. but your right, most slabed coins, nobody cares about side #3 if it's just a reeded edge.

        i've never actually seen a slabed comic - is the slab pliable, or rigid? i know that ACG used to certify beenee babies do they still?

        does anything else other than baseball cards, coins, currency, beenee babies & comics get slabed??? pez dispensers? stop=watches? beer cans? hair-rollers? underwear belonging to famous people???

        A Comic Slab is just like a HUGE coin slab. Rigid.

        As far as what else you listed, I have seen lately a company that is slabbing Vintage Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars,
        although I think it's a kitchen table business and no one is taking them seriously at all..
