"My point is that it might not be so bad if some of them get into chips - for whatever reason. Best, Steve'

Steve there is a big difference in what you want for the hobby and what the largest % of collectors want for the hobby.

You want the price of high end chips to escalate in price because you have high end chips for sale. IMO the largest % of club members are collectors. We are here for the enjoyment of the hobby. If our collections go up in value its great. If they do not, we don't care anyhow. We object to slabbers and high end dealers joining forces and artifically pushing prices up with a grading system that we do not want in the first place.

IMO slabbing will not succede in the hobby. Look at Andys list and compare it to the list of BB club members that want slabbing. I believe the difference in % will carry through our entire membership.

No need to reply as this is a statement of beliefs and not meant to provoke you.
I have rethought some of my posts and I was way too hard on you. I Apologize for going too far.
