I find it interesting that the "clean" people, for the most part, simple said "clean" as a response. The "dirty" people, again for the most part, felt the need to provide a mini spiel of the merits of dirty chips. Gene even congratulated a "dirty" responder, as if he gave the correct response. I come away with the feeling that I've been lectured to and that if you don't choose history you are, somehow, not the true collector that others are.

Again, this is just the impression I get from the responses. Others feel this way buy choose not to say it.

BTW, in previous threads, several responded that they would not remove a cigarette burn if possible. They even lauded the history in having cigarette burns. Some might take that as preferring cigarette burns
