Don, I have to agree with you and yes I do know something about it.
Speaking as a collector(not an issuer) WE CAUSED IT!!!!!
I happen to like LE's, so more does not bother me. Higher denominations, do bother me. I take the $10 but not the $25, unless it is really special.

BUT

Everybody keeps quoting the cost of chips at .63 to .70. Very few LE chips come in under $1.00. This is not a big difference when it comes to profit. Just setting the record straight.
