Grading Casino Chips is not rocket science, but nevertheless we do not claim to be the one and only authority nor the final word in grading. We have three graders, Chris Aable, John Parker and a finalizer in case of non-consensus, Henry Garrett - all of whom have been dealing in Casino Chips for over a decade. Again, unlike some dealers, we don't claim to be the final authority on grading, we are merely a third opinion for those who don't feel that ten bucks is a big deal to grade a chip - take it or leave it.

This person goes beyond questioning an alleged authority or objectivity you seem to imagine that we make claim to, and asserts to speak for all members of the CC>CC. Below is his email and our reply:
