Every kind of collectible's getting slabbed these days... I've seen unopened trading card packs, action figures, Give-A-Show Projectors... all of it slabbed.
At least single trading cards being slabbed doesn't stop you from looking at all of it....
I long ago vowed that if I ever purchased anything that was slabbed (unlikely as that may be), I'd crack it open as soon as I had it in my hands... hopefully that would be at a convention, so I could see how many virtual heart attacks it inspires!
Krypto's recent medical expenses were quite high, if you can, please donate any amount to help defray the cost of these expenses. Thank you!

yeah... slabbing action figures though... odd.. Devalues it in my book. I wonder pay as much for a Model as i would an Action figure..
ReplyDeleteSlabbing is just a way to inflate prices, I hate it.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I'm not really a huge fan of the series but Deanna Lund used to make my heart go pitter patter.
