In the mean time you lose out on buying chips from him or others that are not "slabbed free" approved. Who are you really punishing? Don’t you think you are cutting off your nose to spite your face?

Who really cares what someone does with their chips? You don't have to buy them. You don't have to look at them. In fact, if you look at the other hobbies that have items "slabbed", coins, baseball cards, etc., it gives the collector who is in it solely for the enjoyment of collecting, an opportunity to buy the unslabbed items at a price that is less than it would command if slabbing did not exist. But no one understands or sees that side.

You people complain about our President, the Speaker of the House and the other fools trying to cram Health Care down the throats of ALL citizens as well as their own personal agenda's. Yet, you do and act in the same manner when it comes to "slabbing". You clearly attempt to cram down your dislike for the product in the same way with worthless pledges, boycott's and whatever.

You ALL spend too much time worrying about one, two, or a few individuals rather than looking at the BIG PICTURE which is gathering new collectors and new members.

We live in this country because it offers us a choice. Does it really matter if a chip is slabbed or not? Will it really put an end to collecting? Will it really mean every chip will be slabbed? Will it really mean the hobby is over?

I know I’m talking into the Abyss, but so be it. Sheep…..stay in a single file line. And pray for a sharp knife.
