Been around three or four years, got his start selling NGC look alike slabs, then started his own service. Still does some slabbing but makes most of his money selling those slab shells to other fly-by-night services. There are somewhere between 4 ad 6 companies using those shells now. __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
