Katie,

I think you're half right here. Gene may not always know and/or appreciate the person who signed the chip, but he DEFINITELY loves the signed chip itself. I'll bet he's added 30-40 autographed chips to his collection in the last couple months. Just try to yank one from his hands & see what happens. <g>

P.S. You guys might want to try & chase a couple yourself someday just for fun. It can be quite exciting to nail someone, especially if they have a history of being hard to get. Be careful though, you just may get hooked! <bg>
