your comments, Ben, are way off the mark and demonstrate to me clearly that you are trying hard not to educate but to advance your own slabbing interests. You assert or at least imply that only a few of us are against slabbing--you are way off the mark there too. I have not heard one old time pure hobbyist support slabbing. I have heard some of my dealer friends whose collections are far superior to mine and whose knowledge is far superior to mine, take other sides in this issue and I will respect their positions--even tho I do not agree with their position. Unlike Jim (and keep firing Perlowski] I feel that education is important and thus support a seminar at the convention. I am eager to hear from the slabbers as to what they [you] can do for us.
