I know this is a little mundane, but I've never used slabs for storage before. Anyone have a preferred site in which they order them?
Are you looking for the type of sealed slabs used by the NGC and PCGS? Or are you looking for the snappable kind, the ones used by SGS and other basement slabbsters?
Well, I'm not going to be sending them in for grading. Basically just wanting an eye-appealing way to store some pieces. Preferably slabs with a black background?
Here are the slabs I bought. The inserts come in a few colors. White, blue, green, yellow. I havent seen any black ones though lol. I can't remember if this is who I got them from, but they are the same slabs. http://cgi.ebay.com/5-BCW-Half-Dollar-Coin-Slab-Holder-w-White-Insert-/390331560063?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae192f07f
I also buy from wizard, great service. I do not think they carry any 'slab' type cases, just the 2x2's by snaplock.
The PCGS and NGC slabs are also snappable. It is just that they go the extra step to seal them with a sonic welder. You can also use a sonic welder to seal the other snappable slabs as well if you wish.
I personally prefer airtites. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/air-tite/ You can get them from wizard too. The only issue is they're less stackable, and storage is a bit tougher. But I like that they still retain the shape of a coin.
I think you can't beat Air-tites, they just make my coins look the nicest out of all other holders I've tried. Edit: They are circular though, that is their only problem. I have heard of square, but they are...
