<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 734151, member: 66&quot;]Kidkayt, if you ever get a chance to examine a Compugrade slab in hand, you might change your opinion.&nbsp; Personally I think the Compugrade slab was the best slab format ever produced.&nbsp; They were small amost the same size as the old small size ANACS slabs, so they saved room. They were made of a higher density plastic so they felt heavy and solid in your hand, not flimsy.&nbsp; The plastic was very clear and the insert was more transparent that those used by the other services.&nbsp; You could actually see about 90% of the edge of the coin.&nbsp; This predated the NGC edge view and other services attempts to make the edge viewable by about 10 to 16 years.&nbsp; They had a top viewable label so you didn&#039;t have to pull the slab out of a box to know what was in it.&nbsp; A feature that predated SEGS top viewable label by seven years and ANACS by sixteen years.&nbsp; The slabs wre slightly thicker than the ANACS slabs with smooth flat sides.&nbsp; Not only would they interlock and stack well, but the slabs would even stand on end or on their side without falling over.&nbsp; If you had a stack of them you could set them down on a table on any face and they would sit there like a solid block of plastic without falling over.&nbsp; Their downside was that being smaller they didn&#039;t fit will in a PCGS or NGC box, just like the small ANACS slabs, but since they were slightly thicker they wouldn&#039;t fit in the ANACS boxes either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
