>>>Where is this "club's own definition" reference you quoted located?

C'mon Archie. Don't play these kinds of silly games. If you are aware of a different definition, just post it. Waiting......

>>>My catalog is not "the club's definition"....

That's interesting. Just how many different definitions are out there?

>>>the reference to slabbing that you have posted as being published in my catalog is not completly accurate since you left out a considerable amount of text in your one-liner response.

It is COMPLETELY accurate. It clearly states that slabbing is a process of grading. If you no longer agree with your own definition, change it.

However, club members should think long and hard about this. I've seen chips encased in everything from key rings to toilet seats. If the mere placing of a chip in a container consitutes a slab, then there are a lot of slabbers out there.

If someone simply packaged a coin or a baseball card, nobody gives a damn. It is the grading of those items that adds the value and (for chippers) creates the overall problem.

Why can't there be general agreement about that?

Sheeeesh...
