Seems to me that some of the older molds did have some craftsmanship to their production. These A-Crest (American, A-Line, etc.) mold chips always have a real quality feel to them. I guess we get used to that junk from Mexico. Especially the Hard Rock chips, always with buggy inlays, zits, nits and scratches. Must be wonderfull to wait in line to get a bunch of crappy Paul-Sons at $5, $25, and $100 a pop. Some of the other houses get better H&C, but HR always seems to get punked.
