Mark: My private e-mail response to you was returned undelivered so I have to respond here. I did remember something about future issuances of "Chipper Chips". My reason for commenting is simple...those two members of this great Club of ours should not be rated second, or third, or fourth to ANYONE in the chip collecting community. IMO their not being "honored" on the inaugural "Chipper Chips" was a mistake and possibly a slight. They are two of the original founders of the Club and probably have done more to foster collection of casino memorabilia than anyone could imagine. Their being selected first should have been a no-brainer!

I know we are dealing with private enterprise here, and "what's best for me at this moment" is paramount! What we may have here is a matter of personality clash, in which case why would you set yourself up for criticism...do the honorable thing in spite of your differences. My best to you, Chuck Tomarchio
