I'm sorry, Travis, but I do not know who these people are, though my name is mentioned quite freely withing the antique trade.

The only ivory I have that comes close to what you mentioned is the IE-LH which is currently listed on eBay for $73, and books at $69, and the IE-MK which sells for $49. Ivories are still a very good bargain I never bought the Original Club Forest from S.C. in New Orleans when they were offered to me, and I don't think ivories are "shooting up" -- at least not when I'm buying. <g>

I have been to shows where people have walked up to me saying they bought chips from John Benedict and would now like to sell them at a good price -- chips that I've never seen before, but I doubt if this is the case, here.
