>>>Stu you still don't get it.

That's absolutely correct, I don't. I thought I knew what a slabbed chip was. Clearly, I did not and do not.

>>>The Pledge can mean whatever you want it to mean.

"The Pledge" says what it says. If folks like it, that's ok with me. I don't happen to agree with it. However, when someone makes a comment about slabbing and someone says "sign the pledge and then we'll listen to your opinion", how can you then say it is a "personal thing".

>>>point of the List is to show those who would get involved in slabbing casinochips

Wouldn't it be nice if we all understood exactly what that meant?

According to the slab free club:

""slabbing is a process whereby a firm.... charges a fee... for a chip collector to submit a single casino chip to this firm to be evaluated as to condition and an arbitrary grade is assigned""

That was lifted right off the website and it certainly looks like a definition to me and it clearly says that it is a grading process.

I readily admit being more than a little confused by all of this.
