<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 8183811, member: 82322&quot;][USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER] I appreciate the value of the protection provided by a slab on a proof or RB coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The grading company provides multiple services, bundled together.</p><p>1. Protection of the coin</p><p>2. Opinion about the coin&#039;s grade, strike, and surface</p><p>3. Monetary guarantee (does not apply to NGC ancients)</p><p>4. Verifiable photo of the coin with bar code</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like 2C, the opinion about the surface, because I often can&#039;t tell that from online photos.&nbsp; I also really like 4.</p><p><br /></p><p>I dislike 1.&nbsp; Many collectors do, which is why they unslab them.&nbsp; The only point I am making is that there is demand for the photo-certs, which the grading services can&#039;t meet because it would undercut their slabbing service.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=77704]@panzerman[/USER] &#039;s idea of adding to the slab with a sticker is great.&nbsp; I keep my slabs in clear slab-protectors.&nbsp; I keep old tickets and my own info-sheets in the slab-protector bag along with the slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
