POLL: If a horizontal card faces the "wrong way" in the slab, does it affect your bidding?


On horizontal cards that are graded, I like the bottom of the card to be on the right side of the slab. And if I come across one of these cards that I need on eBay, and the bottom of the card is on the left side of the slab, most of the time I won't bid on it at all. Unless it's a card that's particularly hard to find in that grade, I figure I'll wait for one to come along that's facing the "right way." (I'm sure that for some folks the "right way" means the bottom is on the left side.)

I'm just curious to find out if many of you do the same thing. I could be wrong, but i'm guessing that I'm not alone, and that the position of those kind of cards in slabs routinely has an impact on final prices when the cards could have just as easily been placed in the slab the other way.

    PSA usually puts the bottom of the card on the right if I remember correctly, but I am with you on this one, it looks kind of weird facing the other way. I voted for bidding the a little lower because I will just send it in to be reholdered.
