Unfortunately what Mark says is true, it is also the reason I have begun limiting my LE collecting.

What Mark has said, and Warwick Stone has alluded to is that these chips are being made solely as collectibles. Collecting a LE which is never intended to hit the table is no different from collecting a Fantasy chip, except that you can cash it in (however no one expects you to).

Thats not to suggest that you shouldn't collect them, I still do, I have just gotten much more selective.
