Single copies only — no restocks, no second chances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy collectors buy slabbed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce a card is encapsulated its condition is fixed. It cannot be handled, sleeved badly, left in sunlight or bent in a binder. For a card you intend to keep, display or eventually resell, the slab is as much protection as it is proof — and it is why a graded copy holds value that a raw one does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReading the label\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe label carries the year, set, card name, card number, the grade and a unique certification number. A 10 is Gem Mint; 9 is Mint; 8 is NM-MT. Small differences in centring or a single soft corner are what separate them, which is why two copies of the same card can sit at very different prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuying with confidence\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cert number on every slab we list can be checked against the grading company's own records, so the grade is independently verifiable before you spend anything. Listings show the actual slab, photographed front and back — not a stock image of another copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePokémon and beyond\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost slabbed stock is Pokémon — see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pokemon-slabs\"\u003ePokémon Slabs\u003c\/a\u003e.
