Caught these three at the anti-slabbing booth. The sign says "Slabs NOT Welcome at this table." It was nice to see these signs ALL OVER the show. Many dealers had them.

I didn't see any slabs except at the ICG booth. I stopped by and they were nice, but seemed tired and beat, for lack of a better description.

I took a good look at the slabs. The grading issue disgusts me. But I looked at the slabs with that issue set aside and an open mind. It's a nice little case. What I don't understand is why anyone (except speculators and investors) would want to collect chips without being able to touch them. What fun is that? To me, that's 'nuf said on the issue. I have no interest in them.
