Ron; Certainly you are free to describe your chips in any fashion you wish. I have not viewed the comments about your system as a "put down". But as been stated in a related thread, putting a number on a chip tells the prospective bidder nothing unless you describe what the number stands for. I can put a number 428 on a 500 scale for the next chip I post to ebay. I'm sure you would agree that number by itself does nothing for anyone to understand what condition my chip is in.... even if accompanied with a scan.
