So I finally went through all my Borland commemoratives and I am pretty close to making a complete set.
If anyone interested in Borland's hasn't read this research article, it's fascinating:

I also have a lot of duplicates...so if anyone else is interested in trading to fill holes, please shoot me an email.
Now I have a question for the experts, especially David Spragg: for casinos who had reorders, the $5 chips for both original and reorder both had 1/2" inserts. The scans in the article are very good, but I cannot tell any color differences for the $5. How do people tell the difference? Is it so close that most people don't care? On the Marlow web site the $5s are sold separately for first and second issue, so I presume there is some way of telling them apart.
Thanks,
- Bob
