Being the club's publicity director I too wish there was a definitive way to put values on chips. But its not that easy, especially rare chips. Members of the media, both electronic and print, always ask the burning question "So what is it worth?". The Chip Rack bases its values on what prices chip dealers set. James told me he bases his values, those in his upcoming book, on what HE feels they are worth. God, I love this HOBBY!
