Just recieved this reply from a looooong time collector in responce to my survey on "what do you think about an Official Standard Grading System?"

Hi Gene,
Interestingly, at the educational seminar there was a coin collector who was
promoting an authentication/slabbing service for chips! Yegads! I've
promised to quit collecting if that ever happens, and maybe the end is nearer
than I thought!

I was unaware of this!
If we open the door a small crack, "It will never close"
Just my opinion!!!!!! "The new and Official" chip book has jarred the lock off the door.
