The chip slabbing thing has to be some kind of a joke, right? Why would anybody want one? You can't hold it, you can't feel the history if it's an older chip, and it would be hard to disply in an attractive manner. The only possible reason I can think of is someone is an invester, not a collector. I think 99.9% of the people in our club are COLLECTORS, the slabbing thing will never get off the ground and yes I'd bet on it. Jim
