Archie,

You drafted an excellent and concise response. It makes sense what you say...

I just continue to wonder why the people that are anti-slabbing believe slabbers will ruin the hobby?

If you take a new LE chip and immediately slab it, how off can you be on the grading? Why would/should it become immediately more valuable once slabbed?

If you take a rare and valuable chip and slab it, put a price of $100,000 on it when it books (books are outdated the minute they are printed...another story) for $25,000....does it matter? How many people in this hobby spend that kind of money on chips....Besides me?

People will buy it or not based on price or am I missing something else?
