I agree that there are a good number of early LE's out there that will retain their value.

My point is that, in the limited time I have been involved in chipping, I have seen a dangerous and unwaranted surge in the number of LE's being produced.

I fear that, if the trend is not slowed, it will topple of its own weight, doing damage to the chipping hobby, and even more damage to the chipping business.
