I only knew about slabbing comic books.... which I find daft beyond belief as I actually love "reading" those buggers rather than stare at the slabbed covers.<br />Slabbing those lobby cards/promotional photos may make a bit more sense as you still see the whole item but as you say: They aren't exactly rare.<br />I also suspect that this attracts investors more than collectors. Looking at the ultimate movie memorabilia collector, Forrest J Ackerman, I don't think he'd have had a single slabbed something anywhere. From what I understand some of his most precious items were just located loosely under stairs, lying on floors etc....Holger Haasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359071414296803464noreply@blogger.com
