Tyrus, all very good points, but I think the single most important thing LE's do is to bring new collectors into the hobby. I go back to the days when the only time you got a new chip was when somebody changed racks or someone you knew went overseas and brought you a chip from a foreign casino. The LE's were great when they first came out. Sure some casinos made way too many and the market seems a little depressed, but it's still l000% better than when there were no LE's. Everyone should collect what they like and knocking another man's collection is kind of like making fun of his dog, someday it could bite you. Regards, Jim
