Very good question, and Archie's response sure could have some pretty terrible implications, if these were to be used to "restore" the chips they are associated to.
I bought these from a fellow chipper who got them with a small collection of chips he bought several years ago. They were very intriging to me and I offered him $5 and he accepted. These are the only inlays I have come across in my past 4 years of collecting, with the exception of Frontier CIC's, which seem to be everywhere.
These are very interesting items. They are very thick, perhaps as thick as the cover of the TCR. They are also very rigid and all have a brown streaking substance on the back (like a glue). All are also beige in color on the back, under the glue.
Well, these 8 inlays are all I have. I wouldn't mind having more, but doubtful I'll ever have any less.
