Quote:Originally Posted by MR_SigS I've cracked both slabs and found CBCS's to be so much easier, but at the same time I learned there is little chance of anyone tampering with a case without showing signs. |

| Why would you need to get a book out? It seems counter-productive to me. | ||

| Some people like to look at and read their funnybooks. I've cracked at least half the slabs I've ever bought. | ||

| Yes, we all want to read the books but that is what reader copies are for. Which are generally not hard to find in one form or another. Personally, I am not going to drop good money on a sealed/graded book just to diminish the value. Unless of course I was going to get it signed. |

| Yes, it is shocking. I bought a comic book, and I actually want to hold it, read it, and enjoy it. What a concept. I keep comics in slabs if I someday want to sell them. Or if they look nice in the slab, and I know I won't have time to read them, anyway. |

| My Wonder Woman #6 looks really great in the slab. Glad I didn't take that one out, though bummed not to read it. It's only 2.0, and purple label at that. But it presents well in the slab. | ||

| I have a Daredevil #183 signed by Miller. That is not coming out of the case. | ||

| If we are talking about new CGC cases then there should not be any question about why one would want to crack it. | ||

| I think the slab craze has gotten out of control with over inflated prices. If a book is worth $20 then it's worth inside the slab should be around $20 + grading cost + whatever extra it's worth to you to not go through the grading process with your own raw copy. It's value should not magically jump to $399. | ||
