(because some seem so miniscule and almost ridiculous), I believe that the more complete the information provided in a "chip guide", the better off we all are. The question is, is how does someone or a group of "someones" keep track of all of these minute differences? And who determines what actually is a variation? The example you noted to me IS a variation. But there have been so many other posts recently showing subtle differences in the color of the chip or shade of an inlay. In my mind, a measureable difference (different size or style font, location of emblems or sizes of the lions' heads on the old MGM chips) do represent variations and should be noted. Good question, Mr. Sands...and hello to you. Bedo
