There are thousands of chips in collections which are not being shared; especially when a request is made here to either show a certain chip or submit if to ChipGuide... and though there is a lot of cooperation, it does not compare to what is being refused to being shared.

What I said here can be backed up in many posts, prior.

There are photos and descriptions of thousands of chips not being shared... especially those of which were my chips at one time; sold, my older scans and Xerox copies gone... and the buyers refusing to share. If that is not hurtful, I don't know what is -- and there are others who feel the same.
