My apologies - don't have the book in front of me.  I don't recall that, 
though.  What's the buy-off rate?  1 LC gets rid of 1 Corruption Point?  2?  
3?

But I would tend to agree that the rarity and 50% disposability (it is 50%, 
right? - that's what it says in the rulebook but Darrin Bright implied about 
a week ago that they were automatically disposeable, and the new Deadlands 
rules apparently made it automatic as well) will limit that.  Plus, there's 
no guarantee the AT will _draw_ the Legend Chip.

Unless there's a lot of Legend Chipping and trading of same in your 
particular campaign.  My posse hasn't even seen one yet in the 3-4 months 
we've been playing...
