... in order to develop a prize.

It's a matter of "finding" a C&S that has been left in the sun (or became off color due to another reason) and making a choice to leave it as it is. It's a personal choice.. and I find it very rude when someone posts that it's "humorous" when that person does not wish clean it and considers it a prize. I do not think it's anyone's business as to how I wish to maintain my collection... and I do not have any objection as to how others maintain theirs; and I surely will never post that I find it "humorous" if someone wishes to clean their chip(s).
