Sam,

Forget about price guides when it comes to the Travelodge chips. The chips are VERY difficult to obtain and go for much more than the price guides list them for. In all the years I have been collecting I have never seen the $25.00 and I have looked through many dealer tables and binders.

In my opinion the $1.00 is much rarer than the $5.00 listed on ebay. I was planning on doing an article on the Travelodge but have not got around to doing it. Maybe some day.
Best, Mr."P"

P.S. Now lets see those ebay thieves try to steal this piece. Everyone who reads this board is now on equal footing.
