Greg, is a new customer of our's and has brought a few chips. I have no idea who he works for or what he is doing with the chips, I can say he is using is own name or at least the name on his check matches his email address. I will just leave it as "W". He seems to have real interest in our hobby and has asked a lot of good questions. Please welcome him as a new chipper. As to his view on slabbing,that is his own? Greg,I will include a copy of last year's program to our national convention with the order we are shipping to you. It has a membership app. on page 64 if you choose to joint? If more information is what your after,this is the place. The top chip collector's and largest dealer's in the USA are all regulars on this board. Thanks Mike Spinetti
