~~~ one in our club auction in the mid-90s. It would have gone much higher, but someone yelled out "Four hundred dollars for an unknown location..." and the bidding stopped.

Just prior to the call, a chip dealler offered me $1000 for it.

That chip and a few others were found in an Iowa truck stop in the 1950s by a man who gave them to his son who kept everything until he read my "CHIPS WANTED" ad in a local newspaper. The balance of the PAL'S came out a while later and prices dived...

BUY LOW - SELL HIGH...

From what was in that find; I gathered it to be a salesman's sample case... Stuff we never have seen before -- and since. Some samples with 'pindot' inserts sold for $500 each while some illegal Sm-key metal die-cut inlays sold later for approx. $1000 a few months later (all this is archived).
