Slabbed versus not was discussed a lot (slabbing was in it's infancy). In retrospect, the non-slab crowd ended up being dead on with their gloomy prognostications of what slabbing would become and the problems that would ensue.

Money/value seemed to be far less of a focus, but maybe that's just my current wistfulness kicking in.
Slabbing started in 1991, was hardly in its infancy at the beginning of this Board??

I think it's Jay Behrens you may be missing.
