[QUOTE="Mat, post: 2289922, member: 21445"]I think slabbed cards are OK and as a comic book collector, I don't mind it to a extent either. I think they are great for very rare/expensive comic books and even key issues. Comics have their "tooling" like flattening the spine I think with an iron, adding new staples, page repairs. So it's good to know. But like coin slabs, people have very new modern comic books slabbed and hope to get 9.7 & 9.8 grades and turn a weeks old $4 comic to $200 comic because of that 9.7 or 9.8. And people on ebay buy them so they keep doing it. NGC does the comic books under CGC.[/QUOTE]
