-----Was this tube of Hard Rock chips maybe a personal favor to you from a dealer, or are you implying that ANYONE could have walked up to this dealer and bought them for face? Hmmmm???------

As a matter of fact, Jay, It wasn't a dealer who offered it--I don't even remember who it was that came to me at the trading session. I don't believe I even knew him. In any case, the only reason I bought them was because a friend of mine in Sacramento asked me to pick up any I could find
at face value--either at the convention or from the cage. I made three trips during my stay to the HR, picked up different chips each time. Don't remember just which ones they were but I don't think any were playboys.

-----To suggest that your transaction was an accurate indication of true market value is kind of silly, in my opinion… and I know you don’t believe it either.------

Of course, I agree that this is not the "true" market value if one doesn't wish to shop around or if he lacks patience.

------The only disagreement I have with it is the undervaluing of the LaRue Chips

You wouldn’t have a vested interest in the valuation of these chips, now, would you??? ----

I take the "Fifth" on this one.
