Robert:

I was not trying to suggest that limited edition chips be slabbed (or that they should not be slabbed) but rather that as a hobby we need to encourage casinos to limited the number of issues that they produce (or else their will be so many that those who collect them will give up trying to ammass one of each) AND produce them in sufficient quantities that a few select individuals do not corner the market on them.

Failure to do either will harm the hobby regardless of the slabbing issue.
