The term refers to getting a comic professionally graded by Comics Guaranty, LLC (CGC) who will then seal it in a comic book holder as can be seen here.
There has been some controversy recently concerning the slabbing of new comics with extremely high grades i.e. the comic is in mint condition and then auctioning them on eBay at hugely inflated prices.
But I shall not be doing that. I am considering whether it makes sense to slab the following comics that I am considering selling.
Batman #155
Elseworlds 80-page Giant
Ultimate Spider-Man #1
There is some financial sense in doing so if I am definitely going to sell as CGC graded comics are currently selling at a premium.
