You wrote: Slab free refers to people who don't buy sealed, encased chips, in case you wanted a clue. It has to do with grading and sealing and unreliable services who mostly want to grab money with a false image of some sort of guarentee, when there's nothing to it. No promise, no certification, just some nice plastic to seperate the chipper from a chip and his or her money. (check out how it affected coins, collectors cards, and postage stamps, in a negative way, for some historical background)

I sell diamonds as well and have a hard time selling them because the are not graded. I also have a $1300 Babe Ruth Card that was graded or slabbed by the PGA. I never would have bought that card if it was not graded. I know what slabbing is. However it was kind of you to offer your information. Here is a link to the Babe Ruth Card. I am sure you fella will find some fault with some thing on it.

I have nothing against you or anyone here for that matter. I can't say your attitude stinks because I don't know you that well. I can understand you not bidding on my auctions. I respect your choice. But at the risk of sounding rude I must say I have 3500 satisfied bidders and 10 million more on eBay that will bid. (I am sure some user here will have some fun with this statement)

Anyway I have rambled on here to much. I enjoy this BB and enjoyed yor post. I wish you well.
