...I've already eliminated the "LCV" designation from the existing listing. That'll tell you which way we're going! It makes no sense to have multiple lines assigned to this chip (chips).

Consistency is a virtue, yes, but here we have to draw a line. Maybe that line is a year, after which we discontinue the lcv/scv designations. At some point the lcv/scv differential indicated a re-order, but that's clearly not the case today. I've recently been made aware of some pretty valuable older hat & cane chips that have been found in both long-cane and short-cane versions, and almost every day I'm receiving e-mails about more of them.
