i agree with the overlords...

while i like the idea of trading slabs, and have been designated a "founding member," i do agree with ngc's position that it should not be in the journal. unfortunately, it would set a precedent that would make this spam central, and many of us readers and posters would groan. if we want more ads, we can read coin word or google coins.

i think trading slabs is a super site and word of it will spread quickly to the far reaches of numis-world.

i wish their were anti-commercial monitors on the chat boards--i'm sick of seeing people link they eBay offerings.

but then, i am grumpy old numismatist...well, not that grumpy, i'm approaching the 200,000 pt level, and once i get my commems back from ngc, i should hit it. let's have a cyper party. i'll bring the cyber-wine...
