for not going to the convention (yet again). It looks like everyone had a great time. I really enjoy this time of year on the board because you read some great stories, see great pictures and so many people show off what they got at the convention. It is also a time when some chips on ebay can escape notice and can be won for bargain prices. This year, I won a chip on ebay that has been on my want list for awhile. Ironically, Terry Schaffer posted a few years ago that he found one of these in a bargain bin at the convention, explaining that it pays to look through those and see what you can find. He said it was a pretty hard chip to come by, and, though I have no idea what it's worth, I agree that you don't see them for sale too often. And, because it hit ebay for a 3-day sale right when everyone was traveling to the South Point, I got it for face.

Hey, if you can't go, you might as well get a nice chip out of it.
