I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to cotribute their thoughts on the subject of LE/Collector chips.

As I expected there were a couple who said they are out of the market for LE's and a couple who enthusiasticly defended LE's.

What I didn't expect (but should have) were the extensive and reasoned analysis from a couple of the more seinor and knowledeable members of the hobby. Thank you, gentlemen.

Conclusions about LE's effect on the hobby:
They attract new collectors.
They offer variety for specialty collectors.
Though the quantities sometimes seem overwhelming, they are in fact slowing down.

Collect only what you like, don't expect a big financial return, and you'll be very happy with your hobby.

No PC 'Happy Holidays' s**t from me,

MERRY CHRISTMAS, to all!
