Like Archie, I really like my $25 T-bird. Rene, in lucid moments, tells us to only spend money on chips we like, very good advice. 600 chips? I believe the information that 200 of the chips were rotten leaving 400 neat, attractive old chips packing a mystery in their background. That a $25 value to me! James Campiglia didn't unload them because he was uncertain about them, remember the 1st edition of C/W has real evidence linking these chips to any location. I'm talking about the picture of the LV Thunderbird sign that matches exactly that odd line under the bird on the chip as James pointed out in the guide. Jim Perlowski has some very valid points on his side too and I hope he can keep developing this story for the hobby.
