I was unable to complete my set from my regular supplier and had to buy some to fill out the set. I bought from a Trump employee who said he worked as a cashier. If so, I bought "from the cage." Like every rule, including the Commandment our beloved leader [no, not you, Archie <g>] broke, rules are broken with frequency. I have no doubt, therefore, that I could not buy chips from the AC cages but that someone else could.
