I find the entire controversy of SLABBING rather entertaining. Numerous objections continue with the main objection, Slabbers have entered the chip world just to make a profit. Excuse Me! I have attended numerous chip shows and have purchased a number of both high and low end chips from advanced collectors/dealers. None of you are charitable. You are ALL in it to make a profit. I find the entire position rather amusing and hypocritical. Maybe the collectors/dealers whom object are just afraid what they claim is mint, pristine, or whatever grade they claim, may get caught. Beginners and novice collectors need something or someone they can relie on. Unfortunatley, to many individuals just don't care who they take advantage of. Make this a better and safer hobby. Take it out of the "Good Ol' Boys Club" and make it what it can be. History at it's finest!
