I can't argue with your first sentence. Later, You said "
I am a chip collector that is doing something for the hobby." You fail to mention exactly what that is. I, for one, don't see anything positive you have ever done. All I see is you getting on here criticizing people you've never even met. What great thing are you doing for the hobby? Also, I never got on the board and attacked you. You attacked me and I responded. In case anyone wants to know, our book actually sells a few more copies of the Chip Rack because it is marketed in more locations. We sold well over 1000 copies of each Edition. My understanding about the CR is that it sells between 800-1000 copies per issue. The difference is that our book costs a lot more money to produce. That's why we obtained a publisher for the 2nd edition. My first royalty check for all the work I did on the 2nd edition was $308. If you think that's "doing it only for the money" then you are one sick, twisted puppy. TCR is done more economically (no color pictures, etc)and that was a very good decision on their part. As for jealousy, that's in your head. I've never made any post on this board blasting the CR authors unfairly. The CR was the first book I bought about chips and it inspired me to work on our full color book.
