Well Walt,
Thanks for asking about my board, As far as recruitment, I haven’t really taken that much time with that effort. We’ve done pretty well passing 350 users and not charging one dime for it. We provide a place for folks to communicate and learn from each other. It’s not a site focused on buying and selling or in some cases in this hobby, for folks to try and fleece each other out of their cash. (Seems to be becoming pretty common lately). If one doesn’t want to join because they don’t like me personally, the beauty is, they don’t have to. Don’t worry I’m not offended.

As far as my credibility in the hobby, I’m not sure what credibility you speak of because my sole goal is to collect. I’m not a dealer, I’m not a “wholesaler”. I’m a collector. If I sell chips it’s not simply to profit off the backs of others. If I do sell chips it’s because they don’t fit with what I collect. I have bothe sets and singles in my collection and sometimes, as I’m sure you know you have to buy a group of chips to get one you need for your collection. If you look at my eBay sales most auctions start at well below value and if they sell at a low price guess what I do, I ship it at that price.

As far as trying to discredit you personally, I don’t even know you other than what you’ve told me that you sell wholesale to dealers and that you have a 30 year all knowing knowledge of chip values and would run to the head of the line and tell someone like myself how little I know (without knowing me or what I know). If anyone’s trying to discredit someone you may look in the mirror to see that guy.

As far as “Starting a War” I believe that guy also lives in your mirror. And as for deleted posts my response to you showing Chip chat was deleted by request. It simply showed what the CC chip sold for in the past. No need to to be worried that someone other than you actually found some chips my man. It happens.

Chip values in my opinion are based on past sales. At least it seems we angree that the TCR values are random numbers. Anyone buying the cotton clubs in the past paying z1 prices did so knowing that there were 2000 made and like any other chip, 2000 could show up tomorrow. It’s a fact of life. What affects those people are guys like you telling them that the chip they have and spent their money on is now worth $50 because “Walt says so”. You strengthen my conviction in collecting, thank you.

Any cotton club chips I have are not for sale. Again, maybe the next boxes of this non rare chip will be. I’m not seeking recognition or credibility in the hobby as I don’t need either to be a collector. I’m not a dealer and only really a casual seller of chips I’ve acquired as parts of other deals that I don’t need in my collection.

I call things the way I see them, not everyone may agree and that’s fine. Why don’t you just do what you said you were going to do and stop responding to anything I say instead of continuing to try and berate me as, again, your opinion of me doesn’t affect me. If I have a chip you want, and you’ll go without it because it’s me, that’s on you. Don’t go away mad, just go away.
