~~~ one (and I would assume more)... such as PE-RR Rough Rider, were unknown to Rough Rider collectors until I introduced the chip to them. They were totally shocked such an item existed, prior.
Another chip; Waterman's with the wood center, was thought to be a good luck piece and cataloged as such by fountain pen collectors until I introduced other colors to them explaining they were poker chips known in four colors.
Also, the BPOE collectors were shocked to learn that there was an organized list compiled by TAMS of all known locations. They had chips of which they did not know where many of them were from. I was faxing the list to them for several weeks back then.
We have a very interesting hobby...
