With a chip, unused and almost unused are about the same. A little Windex or Armour All and it looks Like New.

I'm still confused by Inlay and Insert. Do you insert the inlay or inlay the inserts?

While you are at it guys can someone please define Obsolete for me. (just kidding, please don't start that one again...)

I got tripped up by Bud Jones metal center because the person meant weighted center, not CIC.

I started calling them LCV (long cane variety) back about ten years ago, which is probably nothing more than a different angle on the cane, but you might note that Doug Saito calls then Tall Hats and Long Canes.

They aren't even chips anyway, they are Checks or Cheques. So what's in a name?

Since the chips are injection molded or compressed in molds or laminated or who knows what else. At least we recognize that they are never "minted"
