Matt, you may not like my anwer, but here goes any

You said: "If you came across a collection of chips that were fairly rare and you were NEW to collecting, would you openly reveal to people how many of these chips you found or hold off until you had some clue what they were worth? The book values are over a year old, so they could be worth a great deal more or a great deal less than that publication. And of course, the demand is way more important than the stated book value." (The emphasis is mine.)

This statement makes it seem like it's all about the money!

I see your statement being of the same mindset as those that have, in your words, "Also, take into consideration that since you started inquiring about values, you've been flooded with emails of people obviously trying to screw you offering anything from face value to a few current traders, gift certificates to electronics stores, etc. Also consider that another person had some chips that were stolen from his house, but before he did he sold one for a quarter of the realized price (i.e. he got screwed)."

However, I commend you, and thank you, for publishing the numbers.

Respectfully,

Jim Follis
