Shields For Slabs?

I may be out of touch as this may already be available...I have never seen or heard of shields to protect the faces of slabs from becoming scratched. I'm thinking of something similar to the shields used for cell phones. Something that adheres, but not permanently. Does anything like this exist on the market? I know about storing them in albums and proper boxes but we do have a habit, from time to time, of taking them out to photograph them. Any thoughts? This could apply to any slabs, including cards, comics, etc. What brought this to mind was paddy's recent post of the off center cent as I can see a couple of small scratches on the slab.

Sure, just cut the cellphone ones to size

 

No, I haven't but great thought or idea. If it doesn't exist it should. You probably just gave someone the idea to manufacture something and make a million on the idea. The soft plastic that covers/sticks to a cell phone would probably work great! Thanks for the tip!

 

Way to expensive, there has to be a cheaper way to produce these in larger sizes.

 

i like the idea!

 

Larger sizes? They are larger than slabs!?

 

Using cell phone screen protectors is one option. You can also find small baggies or plastic sleeves at craft stores that will protect your slabs during storage and handling. I think they're like $2 for 100 or so.

 

Spray this on your slabs!

 

Really?

And now the original post is gone? I give up. CT doesn't work in my browser any more. See you later.

 

True.. I treat my slabs with love, care, gentleness and kindness.. I have hundreds of them!

 

To be honest I do not own a cell phone but folks who do say the size for them is pretty pricey. I was thinking maybe offer them in an 8"x10" sheet pre cut to slab size. Maybe offering in a 5 pack or so or some kind of bundle. Bring the price down by offering in quantity.

 

Disregard this reply.

 

Something happened with this thread or operator error on my part, don't know. Sorry.

 

These work pretty well. A good coin collector friend turned me on to them.

 

That's all the protection a slab needs . A plastic bag or baggie in about the same size as a slab will prevent the scratches unless you're really rough with them .

 

Why would you want to protect a slob?
