I am developing my system here as I go.  If there is a problem or defect (other than even use or wear), I spell it out.  This is my basic grading system/terminology:

• very fine -- excellent --  my highest rating: mint or near mint
• fine -- quite attractive, insignificant wear
• OK -- average, good chip, some wear, which is uniform/even
• poor -- some defects or considerable wear  (defects, if any, are spelled out)

• buy with confidence: everything is sent insured, and you may return anything for a full refund for any reason or no reason!

• for orders of individual chips, add $4.00 for postage-insurance. For orders of large poker chip sets or racks, the buyer pays actual postage-insurance.  And if you live in New York State, add sales tax. 

• you may e-mail ((removed email address)) first, to discuss availability of items and other matters (some chips, I have only one or two, so I can hold an item for you).

• you may pay via PayPal, or mail a check to Robert Eisenstadt; 200 N River Ln, Apt. 204; Geneva, Illinois 60134-1473   If via PayPal, contact me first for details.  I can have PayPal email you a "Money Request" for your purchase.  Thank you.
