>>I am doing the same thing however when I am ready to move on I would like to be able to sell my item for the highest price possible

I would suggest that you will get the best price possible if your chip is not in a slab. Because it appears you will have a difficult time selling a slabbed chip since almost no one is willing to buy one and at least 230 collectors have stated they will not buy any chips from you if you sell slabbed chips.

Its fine to state your opinion. But its also ok for us to try to convince you that you should change your opinion.
