<p>[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 636145, member: 4230"]Thats not entirely true. all my notes are stored in a binder with 4 pocket pages. These pages are not the full width type, they allow for a sleeve to fit, but nothing too much wider. Unfortuantely, the 'slabs' are wider then a typical sleeve, by alot. So the slabs might fit in one of the flimsy'er type full-width pages, but not the type i like to use. sure its a personal prefferance, but 1 i already comitted to for the hundreds of pages i have in binders... </p><p><br /></p><p>I dont have many slabbed notes. and the ones i have i never even thought arout cutting them out.

Urban - i bought this note for no premium above an ungraded note :) This is another reason i was thinking about cutting it open. I almost had my mind made up about cutting it open before i even bid. for all the reasons already given above - i would never cut open my other slabbed notes - they ARE more valuable slabbed. but these low, common notes i just got it... they have me torn :D I am surprised that with the easy in which folks cut slabbed coins out of the boxes, that so many people are not willing to do the same with currency - after all, coin slabbs truly DO protect the coins... these flimsy almost junky currency slabbs are almost to comical IMHO. if you write on the outside plastic - you risk creasing the note within. The currency slab can be easily cut, bent, creased, and any number of other easy to do (by mistake of course) calamities... as i said i wont cut my other graded notes out of their slabbs, ... but then there are these new notes.... edit - i tested trying to fit the slab in a full 1pocket page. it fits lengthwise - but not widthwise...... so i dont see how slabs would fit in a 4 pocket page even if it is full width.[/QUOTE]
