>>>tell me other than additional cost, what value does slabbing add to your chips.

I wouldn't have a slabbed chip. Royal pain in the butt. I'd take it out of the slab and put it in a binder.

>>>We have seen slabbing in coins, baseball cards, comic books etc.

Barking up the wrong tree here. My brother is an avid rare baseball card collector and LOVES the slabbing and grading process. Just goes to show, not everyone thinks its all bad.

>>>Is that what you want to see in our hobby.

What makes you think I do?

>>>IMHO David supplies a service to us free of charge.

IMHO its something we can do without.
