Sounds like a win-win transaction for both of you ... and for the hobby as well.

I hope you're still planning to volunteer to orchestrate the viewing and payment process for the auctions (both silent and live auctions) on the convention floor. You're the master of this important part of the convention.

Your chip collecting journey has occasional parallels to mine, over the years. Regardless of the physical chips, you'll still have the memories and friendships from along the way.

My best to you and to David.
