Looks like people are trying to take one last opportunity to bash Rene over an issue that will become moot after the new LTD 500 minimum rules take effect. For the receord, I agree that tiny runs such as 25 $100 chips aren't good for the hobby. I agree that they will be viewed more as pogs. However, all I needed to do was ask Rene once to be included on his release list and he automatically made sure I got everything from that point on. I've never heard of anyone being turned away if they asked him. Yes, the average collector who walks in on the street won't be able to get a $100 chip, but that has more to do with the decision to release only 25 of them than the way they're distributed. And that will no longer be an issue. I would assume (I admit assumptions are dangerous) that any future release available in issues of 500 will be distributed to those on a list, with the remainign being made available to the public. Problem solved! Now all that's left are the hard feelings.
