Ron, I really have no axe to grind with how you do your auctions, but seems to me if you have all this time to write responses to these BB messages, you could just use that time to invest in a descriptive version of describing the condition of your chips rather than a short-hand numerical version that nobody understands. JMO.

Unless...you're attempting to be a stalking horse for others on the subject of numerical grading. (I don't really think this is so, but you "doth protest too much" IMO.)

(OK, Gene, bring out the stalking horse chip pic )
