John - search the posts over the past couple weeks for "PB" or "Playboy." There have been several threads.

As to future value, I think the Playboy name carries a lot of weight. Although uneducated consumers will always be preyed upon, I shudder to think how many collectors are still paying a premium, unaware of the past week's controversy. I think I agree with those who say the prices will plateau around $3 or $4 per chip, but it should be an interesting study in pop culture economics - like Beanie Babies (and the "Princess" bear in particular).

I'm glad I read The Chip Board, that's for sure!
