Mel, I respect your decission but hope you change your mind in the future. I enjoyed our emails and all of your history on chips. Good luck and hope to see you in May. Just courious as to when all this non-sense is going to stop? What could possibly be said that has not already been said? I agree with Don maybe there should be a sub-board. One for the once popular topic of chip collecting and one for slabbing. I am against slabbing but enough is enough. If your against slabbing then don't buy any slabbed chips from anyone. Thanks to Gene and everyone else who has put the word out. Thats it for slabbing for me. Lets move on and enjoy this great hobby:)
