In chips, coins, stamps and the like, dealers are, for the most part, also collectors. This being established, so what? We've chatted at a couple of AC meetings and I've found you (Jim) to be a nice guy. Isn't that what counts? Btw every time a chip is listed at what some my consider an overly enthusiastic price, someone has always taken a shot at that person. Maybe Paul shouldn't have done what he did, but Allan should have expected it.
