There is NO way that there will be enough of the $5 Dog chips to go around to all the Hard Rock collectors. I doubt if each person in line gets more than one of each Dog chip. You can bet that out of the 500 chips made that a number are going to Ozzy & a few to others we don't even know about.

Anyone who pays more than about $10 for the Dog chips off of or wherever is taking a chance. Without the amount made on the chips there is always the chance that the Hard Rock will make more down the road. They have already proved that they will do it with a couple of previously released chips.

You can also bet big money that collectors WILL quit collecting Hard Rock chips because of this. As a matter of fact I have had two customers already tell me that they are done with the Hard Rock. Not only collecting, but even stepping foot in the place. All this could have been avoided by Warwick simply making 3,500 each of the Dog chips like he did with the other $5 Ozzy chip.

Not only does this hurt the Hobby, but it also hurts the value of everyones Hard Rock collection in my opinion. Anytime there are negative statements about a Hard Rock release & people quit collecting the chips then the desire for others to start collecting Hard Rock OR to want to buy a Hard Rock collection goes down.
