>> Subject: eBay item 543071110 Slabbed casino chip

Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 21:24:40 -0800

From: Jim Reilly <runtam@pacbell.net>

To: sunstatecoin-a1@worldnet.att.net

Hello ----- the slabbing of casino chips has become a
matter of some controversy among chip collectors. Many of
us, myself included, feel that slabbing is bad for our hobby
and have therefore signed the pledge set forth below. You
are the first dealer I am aware of to offer a slabbed chip
for sale. Apparently, you are not normally a dealer in
chips and therefore are probably not aware of our
opposition. I am reproducing below the most recent bulletin
board message on the subject.

Perhaps you would reconsider participating in this process?
Feel free to sign the list as well (it is not limited to
members of the club). If you would like to do so, please
let me know.

Sincerely,

Jim Reilly
