"I don't know you. But you clearly have my respect. It's great to see those that understand there are two sides and numerous intelligent opinions to every cause."

No where have I seen you acknowledge that those opposed to slabbing have an opinion worthy of consideration. No where have you acknowledged that there is a worthy opinion on this subject that is opposite yours. All you have done concerning these matters is demean everyone whose opinion differs from yours.

"I only wish there would be others with enough common sense and the guts to acknowledge freedom of choice is why we fight for this country."

I can choose to not buy from slabbers, and slabbers can choose to not sell to me. Freedom of choice.

Like many other collectors, I chose not to participate in turning a hobby into a corrupt industry for the sole purpose of making money. Collecting is a hobby. If all you see is money, I feel just a little bit sorry for you. All of the slabbers saw dollar signs without regard to the hobby. They didn't give a damn about choice. They wanted to make money while destroying the hobby in the process. That is the other intelligent opinion that you have ignored.
