Glenn...Condition is just one of the factors that determine the price of a chip. Rarity, origin & desirability are equally or more important in most cases. I'll admit 3 years is a whole lot of experience in this hobby but your learning. . Now if you want to be my friend, when the slabbers take over you can buy my collection get it slabbed & make a fortune selling it. I'll be gone as well as many of us who know that the only way to preserve & protect what we now enjoy is to resist the slabbing speculators. It's not a crime to be in this hobby for fun & profit. But is is a crime if you do not give something back. The people you have commented on have done that many times over. When you come on here and are willing to give an opinion to a bunch of people who are a major part of what chip collecting is about you have to put up more than $. If you got taken then place the blame where it belongs...on yourself. Sharing ideas & knowledge are a major part of this hobby that is given always to new collectors mostly by the people you have chosen to insult. Get off your soapbox, take your money & buy some class. Hey you'll be long gone in a few years after the speculators are done with you, but the $1 & $5 collectors are always going to be here. That's how we all started out. Thank you for your relentless posts on the freedom of choice you now have my opinion...which is worth as much as yours.
