Just saw this post and Todd's BS message.
Thats why I left this hobby because people just talk with no info. And a lot of people think its fact because someone says it.
So todd , I see you are in Ramona if you can show where I sold chips 1 by 1 for $1000 , you can come to my store and pick up 10,000 in cash. My store is 30 minutes aways from where you live.
Lets set the Records Straight AGAIN :
James Campiglia and I believe Barry Weintraub and David Sarles found this chips originally. Theere where a lot of boxes like 6 or 7 but half of them where in really bad shape . I remember there was also some 25 dollar chips that where found and can not remember if there where 100's or not.
Steve Cutler , Rich Burgel and Myself bought these chips from them as a wholesale lot. we got all the 5's plus 3 25's which we kept. If my memory serves me right we paid 3000 Cash for the deal.
The deal happended at the convention. The same day we bought them at the convention we placed them at our convention table all at $25 and the customers could pick them from all the boxes so they get the best condition they liked. There was one guy that bought some and put em on ebay for $500 or something starting bid , the next day we heard about this and we did a auction on ebay selling them for $25 and said that we have over 500 of these. Its not a rare chip anymore.
So thats the story in a short version. I don't even know why I have to justify it . Say you just can't stand me , or I am too money hungry , or I am fat or whatever , but don't just make up stuff , you end up looking stupid because a lot of people bought these chips from us and everyone was happy.
And I know per chip collecting hobby I will be attacked for misspelling or not writting something proper . I did not spell check this and wrote it fast because it upset me to read this , plus its not important enough for me to spell check it .
If it wasn't for stuff like the hobby should have well over 10,000 active members and be growing like crazy. I made a lot of good friends here , but the bad once still stand out in my mind , just spreading hatred with BS stories .
I won't reply to any more of this , have a wonderful life
