Default Zion Magpro slabs

I know the following cards are not vintage, but I plan on slabbing up some vintage cards with these cases. They are just as clear as CGC slabs and you can make your own labels to put in them. My scanner sucks, so the image doesn't do them justice. Depending on where you get them, they are $2 to $3 a piece. They do make superior fit sleeves for them now.

A few vintage Youtubers are having fun with these and I am as well. I would love for Zion to make these for T206, early Bowman, larger 50's cards, and Tall Boys. If you haven't tried them out, I suggest you get a few slabs!

Those turned out great, I'm going to have to pick some up!

I have been using custom slabs in my collection for a few years now, especially for lower-grade vintage cards. These cards are in a "snap slab" like the ones you can order from Superior Fit Sleeves. The labels are my own design. I tried to use colour matching to the cards as much as possible. I really like how they turned out.

You can see more examples of my custom slabs here:

Oh wow, I stumbled upon this thread as I started a similar one in the Grading forum.

I love the MagPro cases and have been making my own custom labels for some time now. Here are a few custom labels I've made for the MagPro cases:

Invaders card:


Dave Stewart Front:


Dave Stewart Back:


Stabler Auto in EX condition (not worth grading):










These cases are phenomenal for those cards that you either can't slab (custom art cards) or cards not financially smart to slab up. I really like them.

Those look nice. What style printer and what paper do you use?

Went to a card show yesterday with Jose Canseco signing, and had him sign a custom "set" I'm making with some custom cards autographed in the 1955 Topps All-American style.

Here's the Canseco auto yesterday with Rickey and Stew, and the MagPro labels are fun to make.

Basic colour laser printer and relatively normal 28-lb matte finish paper. Labels are folded (see below), so that paper is plenty thick. (Ignore the "New!" label.)
