Hey, it's alright guys. We're all just people behind the comfort of a computer screen. No reason to squabble over a stranger's uncle over the internet. That wasn't my intention. All I wanted to do was be clear upfront about my about my situation. I asked for your input and I'm fine with whatever that will be. Nearly all 700 are currently in sleeves, give or take a few dozen that I guess he chose weren't worth it (mostly Richie Rich and some Gold Key comics). I always thought of slabbing as a more secure, or more adapt way at preventing deterioration of of the comic. Are sleeves just as effective?

Hello and greetings to anyone who takes a moment of their day to answer my lengthy question and to help guide my confusion. New member here, created this account a few hours ago and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the detail provided. My uncle passed recently and I claimed his collection of roughly 700+ comics of various titles, including ranging from bronze age comics to early 90s like, the X-men Onslaught event, and ton of Rob Liefeld and Todd Mcfarlane Spider-Man. I like comics but in no way am I an expert here and I also realize this is an odd question/request. If I didn't claim the comics, my family would've had probably donated them to church/library/shelter and I thought they would be better suited with me since I knew the age of most of these (35-55 years old) and thought some could be historically significant/or find a few hidden gems in his collection. There are a few I would like to slab regardless of their condition as a way to remember him, these being, for example, his Uncanny X-men #2 or his Invaders #1, and among a few others. I will be honest, they are not in the best condition, I'd guess probably 2s or 3s, so I understand that these may not be financially "worth" slabbing, but that doesn't really matter to me. My goal is to slab these to preserve them along with his memory. I guess my first question is, if I send these titles to CGC to be slabbed, will the comics be gauged for their condition regardless before being slabbed or can I just have them slabbed and be done with it? My second question is do I have to send them individually to be slabbed, or can I send a group and if so then, how many per group? I will be grateful for any who attempts to answer. I'd very much like to hear the perspective of others more keen on this process. Hope all reading has a blessed day.
