"in my estimation, TCR values are set by the authors for their own advantage."

On what do you base such inflammatory and baseless criticism? Mssrs. Myers, Knapp, Wheelden, Sarles, Spragg, and I have collectively spent thousands of hours working to deliver an authoritative price guide that is both comprehensive and current. I can assure you that any potential "advantages" that any of the authors could have in inflating values would be more than offset by the lack of goodwill within the hobby, and we simply would not be able to sell books.

I would suggest that if you do not agree with our valuation of one or more chips, you should pipe up and send me an e-mail... defending your position, of course. We put a LOT of research into our book on a daily basis, and we feel that our values reflect the real world.

Instead of posting and running, I'm sure that all of the readers of The Chip Board would be interested in hearing you elaborate on your comment.
