Bruce,

You are right that widespread slabbing of desirable movie paper would attract "more" investor types and so, yes, it could happen here. But let's be honest: It already has happened here, even without slabbing. The incredible run up in the prices over the past 10 years of many of the most desirable items -- Universal Horror and others... and most significantly in Realart release -- has clearly been investor-driven.

Slabbing will just put the last few nails in the coffin.

So don't say "It can't happen here".
