I hate slabbing of any kind be it coins, collector cards or anything else. It is not right sterilize and prevent the handling of chips, coins or anything for that matter. I was deep into baseball cards in the 90s and saw the inconsistancy of grading. Not mentioning the predominate grading service by name, it seemed like grades were better when submitted through one of their preferred customers than by submitting a card on your own. I witnessed many broken cases and resubmissions, many times resulting in better grades.
Anyway, sorry for the upset Steve and hopefully the attention brought some bids for the nice chip you listed.
