Archie,
I can not figure out why you feel the need to explain the previous boards decisions involving anything.

Most rational people can figure out why coins are not allowed at our national convention. It is my opinion the new board, when elected, should add "slabbed" chips along with coins.

"Slabbed" chips will be the downfall of our hobby. If this issue is not stopped in its early phase only problems will be forthcoming.

Let those who worry about profit, sales. etc. look to the coin business but leave our hobby of chips and tokens alone. You want something graded??? Ship off of your coins, leave the chips for those who still enjoy a hobby.

Archie you done good in establishing our organization. Please, quit trying to explain. Anyone who knows you, knows you love this hobby and wouldn't do anything to harm it. Happy Holidays To You and Yours. Best, Jim
