Unfortunately we are a mixed breed. To most of us it is a hobby. To a few its a combination and to the rest its a business.

There are very few people such as Andy that can support the hobby aspect of chip collecting and still maintain a business.

Personally to me its 99.95% Hobby, If I were to sell my collection of about 1300 chips, at this point I would most probably lose money.
It is obvious I'M not in it for profit. I could do better scrounging deposit bottles and cans

I'm personally concerned about some of those that only look at the bottom line. It is that group that needs to be watched in regards to the slabbing issue.
