"I am looking at the collector's point of view. IMHO, If you cannot get a chip from the casino, then it is obsolete."

Charles, when it comes to LE's, you can walk into a casino on any given day and find 95% of LE's they ever issued. You just need some employee that is willing to look for you. LE's come in and out on a daily basis. They can never be called obsolete. The Fiesta destroyed some LE's in Dec 98. We kept 20 of each one in the cage. A cage count last month showed over 50 of each one there at that time. Our GO chips have been gone for 2 years. I found 7 uncirculated ones awhile back. A dealer had cashed them in. Dealers bring in LE's they can not sell all the time. I leave lists of chips for the cashiers to watch for. It never takes more than a couple of weeks to fill the lists.
