I think you mean Bob, at accasinochips.com. But I agree. Although I don't think he originally set out as an aid, rather as a tool to sell some of his chips.

Either way, he had some excellent scans and great info and it will be sadly missed.

I can understand why however, I am in the process of scanning my collection for online and don't have nearly the number of chips as others - but it is a long arduous process.
