Thank you all for the guidance. Very sorry to hear about Mr. Conrad but I had suspected he had passed.

I have been collecting very lightly for the last year or so... busy, busy, busy! ...looked at the prices on eBay recently and about fell off my chair... my new pet peeve: people that raise the price because they include a display stand...

my chips are in binders, out of direct light, in a climate controlled vault deep beneath the ocean floor... okay, I'm joking... partially. Anyway, I collect chips not display stands.

The only thing that remained unchanged during my absence was the good natured spirit of the true collectors out there... especially Andy H whose depth of coverage and pricing for the collector have kept his site on of my favorites to visit.

Y'all have a damn good holiday season.
