In fairness to John ... as he was leaving after getting all of the chips he needed for his "friends" ... he did get back in line to purchase five additional chips for me at my request ... which I thank him for.

My point is this. Whether I'm in line purchasing chips for my subscribers ... or somebody else is purchasing chips on behalf of those who are from out of state and can't be in attendance ... the bottom line is that 500 chips of a $5 national holiday LE, which is the most popular denomination LE chip collected .... is not enough chips to satisfy the demand ... no matter who is in line doing the buying.
