I have a retail coin store. I think my prices are fair and my chips and slot tokens of good quality. They don't sell worth a darn. Coins and paper money sell really well. I don't sell any $10,000,000 worth of merchandise a year. So I think I'll slab some chips and see if sales increase. Obviously, it doesn't pay to slab cheap chips at $10 or $20, so just slab the expensive stuff. So long as the chips look good in the slab, and priced fairly for the chip and not the chip and the slab, the chip is protected, they should sell better than they have been. It will be an interesting experiment. And since I don't sell very many now, being boycotted shouldn't be a problem. Incidentally, I love the "I have changed my mind about slabbing..." tongue in cheek aspect of this. If we could only have alot more humor in this big dispute, we might be able to overcome the problem of slabbing. If you like slbbing, then do it. If you don't, then don't slab, a very basic principle.
