Hi Gene. As I recall Mike Spinetti offered these chips. I think the price was $2-$3 (or LESS) plus he very clearly and without being asked, told me they were in a fire and that he had a load of them. Mike always volunteers (sometimes to his financial detriment) information such as the number of chips he has or are in existence (if he has such knowledge). I thought that since I sometimes point out possible scamsters, I might take the opportunity to acknowledge someone who is on the other end of the scale. (now I hope he hasn't scammed me <G>)
