I had mentioned making the Gene O'Lantern back on Oct. 31, 2015. Here's a copy of my emails with Gene on that date - he had offered to gift me a CJG chip (Charles Caddle - ran a game at the American Legion in Santa Maria, CA) and in gratitude . . . I carved his likeness (sort of) on a pumpkin.

Not asking about the Bobby Garcia BG grey chip.
I was talking about the blue B G The Mint attached.

Hi, Gene,

Yes, saw the Bobby Garcia ID, so there are large crown script chips B G and BG? Sneaky! Maybe the first should be known as "B G" but it will still confuse collectors.

Thanks for your generous offer, and yes, someday I am sure to have something you may need.

In the meantime, I have to carve a pumpkin. In the spirit of bullfighters dedicating a particular bull, I will dedicate it to you, if not exactly match your likeness. Unless you have gotten a much more orange and stripey face since we last met.

Hi, Gene,

I don't have a CJC chip so . . . if you are offering, I'd be happy to have it. But at least you should be reimbursed postage?

Let me know, and thanks.....
