This is what makes chipping fun for me

I got a package of chips from Australia last Thursday. A Conrad Jupiters 'Surfer Dude' was included.

Right away I was upset that it was the pink version, rather than the white one that I thought I had ordered. But upon checking the scan that I had ordered from, I found it was my error.

I decided to compare the duplictae chips to see if I had made a quality upgrade. Maybe I could salvage something from my error.

But when viewing the two chips side by side I discovered that the molds were different, one H&C and one RHC.

It took only a moment for my mood to change from depression to elation. I had a third variation of the 'Surfer Dude'.

The Australian guy I bought it from was not aware of this variation until I mentioned it to him. He went through his 'spares' and found another one to add this variety to his own collection.

Have a safe New Year's Eve.
