New listings daily.

Just got some slabs back recently.

SGC probably have my least favorite slab design structurally. I tend to see them getting cracks that spider out on the edge. Now maybe I’m looking at a slab that has actually been manipulated but I’m talking about smaller cracks that wouldn’t lead me to believe that.

I like how SGC holds the cards and stickers inside with the black plastic so I don’t think they should change much about that. I simply believe that if SGC had a slab structure similar to CGC, they would increase their monthly submissions.

Right now I’d rank my slab preference;

1) BGS —— bulky, sturdy, thick

2) CGC —— curved corners, smooth edges

3) PSA —— sleek, stackable, currently liquid standard

4) SGC —— cracks, holds items well

5) TAG—— innovative, clear, cool lettering, AI

6) GMA—— label design

I know there’s speculation into slabs being cracked, replaced, and resealed in the market but sometimes the slabs just get dinged up.

Some of the Japanese slabs I get will have some cracks but they are usually pretty hard to find to begin with so I tend to trust that nothing has been tampered with. Am I supposed to trust my intuition or should I be having these reslabbed?

Just curious what others think and if people have been getting those gem PSA stickers when reslabbing 💎
