Hi Bob!

Yes, between the scanner, the printer and the paper, some colors don't reproduce well in the printed catalogs. I think we are getting closer and having better results now then we had a few years ago. But there are some colors like Pinks and Oranges that are still tough. And I agree with you that dark chips seem to be darker and it at times makes it hard to read the hot stamps.

Doug is now doing a PowerPoint slide presentation at the auction of every lot. Those are the best representation of the colors of the chips; it's a great way to see each lot.

Hope to see you soon!
