I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME GLENDA, AND ALL OTHER NEW MEMBERS, TO THE WORLD OF CHIPPING. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER SINCE DECEMBER. I COULD NOT WAIT TO GET TO THE CONVENTION, TO MEET THE PEOPLE I HAVE DEALT WITH. I HAVE FOUND SOME REALLY GREAT PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE CHIP COLLECTING WORLD. THESE PEOPLE HAVE ENLIGHTENED ME TO THE HOBBY, WHICH I HOPE TO BE A LIFELONG MEMBER. HOWEVER,I PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, WHEN IT CAME TO DEALING WITH CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THE CHIP COLLECTING HOBBY. I JUST WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS FOUND OUT THE CHIPBOARD EVEN EXSISTED. I WAS A LITTLE TOO LATE. THE ARCHIVES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. YOU WILL FIND THAT 99.5% OF THE PEOPLE ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD AND UP FRONT IN THEIR DEALINGS. THERE ARE ALOT OF NEAT PEOPLE OUT THERE. THEN AGAIN THERE ARE NOT.
I PLEDGE NOT TO: BUY SLABBED CHIPS, I PLEDGE NOT TO DEAL WITH ANYONE THAT DEALS IN SLABBED CHIPS, AND I PLEDGE NOT TO DEAL WITH DEAN CLARK, AKA. VEGASCLARKS. I SUGGEST ANY NEW OR OLD MEMBER CHECK THE ARCHIVES ON THE CHIPBOARD, FOR THIS PERSONS SELLING HABITS. I CHECKED THE ARCHIVES AND WAS AMAZED THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL HAD A HISTORY, OF NOT REALLY ABOVE BOARD DEALINGS. IF HE SAY'S A CERTAIN CHIP IS THAT DESCRIPTION, YOU REALLY NEED TO CHECK IT OUT. THE ARCHIVES ON DEAN CLARK SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. I CAN RELATE TO THE MAJORITY OF ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HIM. HE HAD A MULLET,AND HE NEW HOW TO USE IT. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF PURGING MY COLLECTION OF ALL CHIPS BOUGHT FROM HIM. I WAS IGNORANT IN MY SELECTION OF SELLERS. WITH HIM, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE SCAN, MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU GET. WATCH OUT, IF HE WANTS TO HAVE A PRIVATE SALE WITH YOU. I AM A MEMBER OF THE CCGTCC R-5057, AND PROUD OF IT. HOW ABOUT YOU DEAN? NOW I KNOW WHY YOU WOULD NOT DELIVER MY RECENTLY PURCHASED CHIPS TO ME AT THE CONVENTION.
