Pete,
The "deal" never got very far. If Archie or other members of the board would have had an interest there would have been a reason to try and inventory the records. There were 1,000's and 1000's of records showing who ordered chips, how many were made, etc. If I remember correctly I called Janice - she called Archie; and that was the end of the deal.
Armin P. ended up with many of the finished chips. The blanks went to GGS. The dies to........whoever bought the records or maybe not. I remember Saito called me to let me know the stuff was for sale. After the club purchase was shot down I just dropped the entire matter. I figured I could always get any info I should need from Jerry. Who knew he would suffer a stroke and not remember ANYTHING about the Boreland material. I guess it was not meant to be.
The Boreland "stuff" would have made a nice addition to our future building. I guess hindsight is 20/20.
Best, Mr."P"
