"The authors of this new edition of the Chip Rack have published an increase in value for chips that have been "repaired". Am I dreaming? You mean to tell me and all of my associate collectors that when an individual like Whalen repairs a chip it has increased in value? Hey Chip Rack authors! - What kind of message are you sending to new collectors and those of us who have fought this battle since day one? How on earth could you do this? Don't you understand the damage this is going to do to our hobby? How come these "repaired" chips are not listed as an "A" value? Don't you believe you are encouraging the repair of chips by demonstrating through a price increase the reward for having them fixed? I think so and find this policy personally unacceptable."

I agree 100% with this statement.
