I agree, Larry, glad I'm not a diehard collector of Vegas LEs. What this kind of situation shows a casino, though is if they make a limited edition of 100, the LE collectors will fall all over themselves seeing who can pay the most for the chip. I suspect though if too many casinos jump on the bandwagon, they may find many LE collectors pockets aren't deep enough to keep up. Lately we've had a "manufacturered rarity" every month or two: The Riviera porn chips, Mandalay dragons, now this Hard Rock chip. If these "rarities" start coming out say weekly, some may have a hard time paying a couple hundred that often. But right now there seem to be plenty eager to fork out $200-$300 for these kinds of chips.
