Read my post carefully again, Pete.

There is a plastic holder shown. These holders are available to anyone who wants to store their chip or coin or token in them. The picture doesn't necessarily make the item offered a 'slab'. It probably is, I agree, but need not be.

If I buy plastic holders for my chips on eBay and mark them with my idea if a grade, numeric or not, does that make my product a slab? I don't think so.

If I use the oversize cardboard holders that Howdy sells to market my chips, are they slabs? They are marked with my description and my idea of the grade.

I'm just asking for a rational look at this subjectl, trying to take some of the emotion out of it.
