... about Dean's current auctions are correct. As Rich pointed out, your suppositions are wrong. Not counting the current auctions but just those that closed through last saturday, 131 of 291 ending in the last 30 days use the word RARE in the title. That's 45%. More significant than the percentage is the generally accepted perception of the rarity of many of those chips.

What's even more significant is that Dean has apparently finally listened to his colleagues. I will certainly be more willing to look at and bid on his auctions under these circumstances. Thank you, Dean, and happy holidays.
