No argument about your and my right to post our opinions here, Archie.

I was looking to see why you thought Sahara Coins offer to sell a certified chip proved slabbing was bad for the hobby. I still don't see the proof you mention. Anyone is free to ask any price they choose for their chip... in or out of a plastic holder. He may actually get his price, but that's not proof that "slabbing is bad for the hobby".
