...... as Mr. P so eloquently pointed out below, and I don't need to reiterate here ..... Great post and thread, Jim ......

Mr. Spragg has a habit of doing exactly what you say Jim, and that is ...... " he has drawn his own conclusions that are in my opinion inaccurate, misleading, and confusing to readers" ...

He does that to me often, usually starting it as a new inflamatory post gleaned from posts that are long dead ............

Slabfree ......... I think is the biggest joke in our hobby ....... and here is why .....

Every member or reader of this post do THIS .... Look at your chip collection and also the chips you would like to add to it, and answer the following ...........

1. YES - Slabbing has harmed me and my collection and my ability to add to my collection ......

2. NO - Slabbing has not directly affecting my chip collecting hobby in any way.

Please answer on the above !!!!!!!! If YES on the slabbing, we would all LOVE to hear some concrete example and help you on it !!!!!!!!!!

Cheers .......... Capt Banjo Jim
