Ozzie...$5 Weinie to $100 Meanie!

I'm interested in this same/diff artwork question. There has been comment about the same image on the Palms O.Osbourne LE. I only collect chips I like and since I'm not running the type of collection that has complete series (unless I like the series) or examples, I don't really pay attention to different LE art for different denominations. What do you do when you don't like the look on one of the chips in a series issue, acquire it anyway? How come? grin Take this example, the Van Morrison chips, the usual dynamic Hard Rock art except for the $5 chip. Warwick seemed to apologise for its umm, blandness by telling us Morrison picked the image himself and insisted the chip look like that. A chip only Van's mother would love I think.

Do you collect chips you don't like for the sake of your collection parameters?

Do you not collect chips you like because you feel the $5 chips are the same as a $25 or $100 with the same artwork?

Do you apply the same artwork standards to collecting LE and collecting house rack chips?
