Several cashiers at different times said they started destroying some a few days ago. I have since heard they just tell people that .

I guess I should have said they will no longer be available and they will be declared obs .

My main point was I would pick up some for anybody that still needed a few to complete their sets or to use as traders . There are lots of new members who need them too.

I have had Ron there picking through chips 3 times now. He has been great since I am the collector in the family .

Your American English is outstanding by the way! I got your point and respect it . I am learning to read a different version of English now.
