Look again Bob. Until I opened the Mag. and took a second look, I would have agreed with you. Right above the CC>CC and the ANA logo it says (in letters 1/2" high, not dinky type) "Proud Members"

If the club wants to start limiting the ads, then we can exclude the "official" guide because of grading, anything with slabbing, any dealer that... I think you see the deep pit that is opened with selective censorship.

Once again, I don't advocate slabbing, grading, or slapping! ;-) We can just keep making our point, in a polite manner, and keep educating anyone who will listen, as to the negative aspects and how it will possibly harm the hobby. The people who will buy and sell encapsulated chips are not chip collectors like us.
