I am wondering, what is a "slabbed" chip? I've been collecting strikes for a little over a year now, and in that short time, I certainly can see that chip collecting is very popular. I plan to stay with strikes. I like the intrinsic value of the silver (although it is only worth a couple of bucks, I know), and because there are fewer of them than chips, one can keep up with all the new releases easier. (By the way, I am not that other guy, I always will post under my first name: Ron).
