Some of the round robins I have started have also come back with some disappointing chips in them. HOWEVER, there are normally some chips that I did not have in the returned RR. And sometimes people add a chip and if this is poor quality - so what? It is one more chip that was not in there before. Remember that unless you are a dealer, duplicate chips don't do your collection any good. Even if you already have a returned chip in your collection, if you don't have a duplicate of it you just got one more trader to add to your list. I really enjoy starting and participating in the various RR's. It is a great way to turn over your inventory.
