Fred, is this your auction?...
In Response To: 7 FLAMINGO 12 CHIP SETS ()

If so, a word of caution regarding the "Flight to Freedom" set.

Those chips are Bud Jones manufactured. While the plastic chip body is nearly indestructible, there is a storage danger for the printed inlays! Simply stated, when that style of chip is inserted into those pocket pages and left for a long time, or allowed to get warm, they stick to the PVC plastic of the pages!!!!

When removed, they often pull the ink off the inlay. To help reduce this, but not a 100% solution, place the page into your freezer for 10 minutes or so, and then carefully slide a knife blade into each pocket, both sides of each chip, to loosen the chip for removal.

If not your auction, then this is a good lesson for others.

Please note, ALL of the other chips in the auction will not have this problem. Only the Bud Jones chips.
