Jim,

<BUT, I understood from Mel Jung that he and Armin Pfaender bought the entire rack of SJ's chips when it closed.>

That was also my understanding. I remember the day I traded guide for the Sonoma Joe's hot stamped chips, that Mel had boxes of racks and racks of the Sonoma Joe's chips in his living room that day. Maybe some were held back.

I too would like to close the holes in my collection. I told Chris Colangelo of Tiny Treasures at this year's convention, that I want him to make me a special frame for these chips when I am finally convinced that I have all of the chips, as I knew I was missing the $100 Tourney chip, and Mel(actually Lisa) delivered me the Bat Masterson chip at the convention.
