the only time I crack a slab is if it was bought for a specific album, then I have no problem cracking any slab, but if I just bought it because I wanted it at the time I will leave anything already slabbed in the slab as long as its in my collection

I'm not sure but I believe NGC no longer sells their boxes. You may still get them if you have enough coins coming back from a submission but they don't sell them separately. This may reduce the availability of NGC boxes on the secondary market.

I agree with Conder101.
I went to Long Beach coin show and see plenty of PCGS box (sometime dealers will give them to you for free) but I don't see much of any NGC box (for sell or for free)..... May be we should start collecting NGC box now..... hahahaha

I fished around the internet and found Whitman slab cases for $7.95 each and they claim that NGC slabs will fit. Hopefully that will resolve the issue of the NGC cases becoming unavailable.
Thanks for all your feedback.

Most know that I am not a slab collector, but I have to say I am impressed with epop's slab album.  I am always going to prefer an album (be it a Dansco or a three-ring binder) to boxes. For me it is a matter of convenient viewing. |

I am lookin to save space, I can put 4 or 5 boxes that hold 20 coins in the same area as an album would take and no where near as many coins held in it. You only have so much space in a SDB so the NGC/PCGS boxes fit nicely in the SDB

I have a question for epop: Where/how do you get those plastic sleeve w/ pouches for the slab? Also, would the weight of all the slabs damage the sleeve in a very short time? What steps/precautions do you take to make the life of those sleeve last longer?
Thanks.

you can get them by leuchtturm , a German company.You can't put in an album more than four or five sleeves.And it's better not to put an album over the other.I have them for two years now and have no problem.
