Worth buying the "junk" chips to get those Crow's Nest ones - they are rare. Always pays to eyeball the entire box or rack, as you did, to see if any treasures are hidden among the plain ones.

No finds for me this weekend, didn't go to the Long Beach swap as my prior experience there was that it was mostly automobile-related, and not worth the admission price. I was hot on the trail of old discarded Simons experimental bricks in the City of Commerce, but strayed into the westernmost block of Montebello. I spied, coming behind me, a K-9 Officer of the Montebello police, who parked and watched me walk along the street. Didn't want to explain to a Dog what I was up to, so I turned and walked back to my truck. Mean Colorado Casino Cops don't hold a candle to Montebello Police!
