I have done a little research in this area and have found out the following information which I share with you. Apparently, some of the same individuals involved with baseball cards a few years back are the same individuals putting chips in frames and selling them in places like Sam's Club. We all know what happened to baseball cards when the $$$$$ becomes more important than the collectable. Some of the individuals are using real chips; others are using "fake" chips. I realize there is nothing anyone can do to stop this type of activity. I share this information with you and hope public opinion will be strong enough to have an affect upon this activity. I don't like it but there isn't much I or anyone else can do about it. The dollar is a driving force and I'm afraid our hobby takes a back seat to it. Best, Jim
