...... why the slabbing companies have not targeted TOKEN collectors for their hard earned dollars? After all, tokens have the more similar characteristics to coins than chips do... and would fit in to their 70 point grading system more readily than chips. Token collectors are more concerned with condition and grading than chip collectors .... (generally speaking.) Most token collectors want pristine specimens.

Answer: M O N E Y!
With rare exceptions, tokens (slabbed or unslabbed) do not bring the big bucks that more and more chips are now bringing.... and will continue to bring. Double a chip's price because it has been graded (and maybe even re-graded) so that it will command even a higher price. Tokens don't bring these high prices to begin with as a rule, so doubling something that has little value to begin with makes no sense to the DEALERS who are marking these things up.... looking for cross-hatching wear under a 10x magnifying glass and for "fingerprints".

Folks; Let's get a grip. If one looks at this thing objectively... Grading companies do not set prices and run up the prices. It is the DEALERS who do business in slabs who will be running up the prices. That's why it is important not to do business with those engaged in this rip-off practice.
