I haven't commented on the slabbing of chips until now, because I clearly haven't felt as strongly as some of the others on this board. But I've reached my own conclusion in the last couple of days. I recently decided to change the way I store my chips. I had kept them in 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 cardboard flips, which protect the chip's condition and allow you to see them but don't let you touch them. As I was taking my chips out of their flips, it hit me: What I had been missing was the "feel" of the chips. Picking up my $25 Ta-Neva-Ho, which might have been in play in 1937, when the casino opened, brought everything into clear focus: I want nothing to do with slabbed chips. The posts about what slabbing has done to the sports card industry are right on. The card collectors have been minimized, and the card investors have been maximized. The only reason to slab a card - or a chip - is to increase its value. But I believe what you lose in that tradeoff far outweighs what you might gain financially. I don't want to see that happen to chips. So, Andy, please add me to your list.
