The "list of 256" doesn't begin to encompas those people who have more sense than to want their chips slabbed. There are 2500 active members in the club. Less than a tenth of them are on this board. If you're going to put any stock at all in the list, you have to look at the percentage of people exposed to the list who are on the list. An overwhelming majority, I'll bet. But not signing the list does not mean slab supporter. I don't like the list just because people like you will take it and twist it and infer something that isn't true. Just like you infer that people who have no interest in getting involved in this thread somehow support your position. What matters is what we do, not what we say.

Serious collectors know what they are collecting. "Grade" is way down the list of important criteria for valuing casino chips. "Authentication" comes from knowledge of casino chips, something ICG has demonstrated a complete lack of.

How would you grade this tired, worn piece of clay?
