Many posters have made anti-slabbing comments concerning their own personal feelings regarding chips. i.e., handling, stacking, playing, touching, paying for slabbing, storage, etc. I ask you to put your own personal proclivities aside, and think what is best for the future of the hobby.
Grading companies have affiliated dealers who deal in many collectibles. It is in the best interest of grading companies, auction houses, and potentially thousands of dealers wordlwide to PROMOTE the investing of chips to their clientele. Chip collecting / investing would be exposed at coin, stamp, baseball card shows, comic cons, publications, websites, etc. The possibilities are endless and this promotion is FREE!
Slabbing is merely a vehicle to bring new money into the hobby. And to all those already in the hobby, avoid slabbed chips if you want, lets just keep an open mind as to the potential upside.
