>>>Chip collectors would rather have 500 $1 chips, worth a dollar rather than 20 $25 chips!

That's right.

We are collecting, not investing. A 20 chip collection seems rather boring now doesn't it?

Even so, if it is a choice of buying a true collectable $1 or $5 chip or some run of the mill $25 LE's.... I'd rather have the former.

To each his own....
