Many of you will remember that I'm in the process of selling an extensive and well-collected chip collection for someone who's retiring from the hobby. Many of you have purchased some of the outstanding pieces from the collection already.

Beginning today, I'm starting a series of auctions of the remaining material in the collection. I'm e-mailing an auction list to everyone who has purchased chips from the collection in that past, or who has evidenced an interest in receiving information.

If you don't receive an e-mail from me today and would like to participate in the auction, please drop me a note at ChipProf@aol.com and I'll be glad to send it out to you.

There are 269 chips in 175 lots in this auction, at every price level. This is a true auction: all chips will be sold to the highest bidder above minimum.

The auction will last for two weeks, and at the end of the first week (next weekend), I'll e-mail a current bid status list to everyone who's bid.

I know that there are some of you who have changed e-mail addresses since the last time you received something from me. If you don't receive the list and would like to, just get in touch with me and I'll send it out!

Thanks, and good luck!

Michael
