Barry; Part of my presentation at the Educational Forum in Las Vegas last week had to do with the fact that we are not the owners of our chips and tokens that we temporarily possess while on this good earth. We are merely custodians for those who follow us. We should take precautions to preserve what we have for future generations to enjoy as we have. Many of the older chips and tokens that currently reside in our collections were cared for by others before us. Sometime in the future our collections will probably be dispersed by our heirs or maybe through private sales to others before (or after) we pass on. I'm grateful to those who did not tamper with some of the originals in my collection.
