It's the inlaid-litho chips that, for the most part, are showing the price increases. The two embossed chips at the bottom are of little interest (unless you don't have them <g>), but the two at the top are quite desirable. Prices of $10-20 each is not out of line, in my opinion, for these great looking old chips. In many cases, only a few hundred still exist, and lots are still in use for home play, and will probably stay there. Real antiques in our hobby, where an "old" Las Vegas chip may date back 30 years or so; many poker chips are 100 years old.
