<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 2426406, member: 68"]I've gone through a lot of tokens looking for keepers and haven't even found all the minor keys yet! I didn't use Shell gas much back in the day but I still saw a lot of these tokens and talked to people who played the game. The keys are lite Yeti, you hear second and third hand reports but never see one or have a confirmed sighting. If memory serves there was a $1000 IW in Dyer, Indiana but after redemption the token most probably met its demise. Since I gave up completing the set many years ago I've instead been working on upgrading and looking for varieties. It's rather surprising how tough a few of these are to find in nice chBU or Gem. The varieties aren't especially dramatic but increase the difficulty of finding nicer specimens.</p><p> </p><p>It's really good to see other people collecting them because one person can't be certain if his experience is typical or related to other factors. For all I knew there were lots of the IW's in Houston or somewhere on the east coast.</p><p> </p><p>The common tokens may be too common for most people but I still enjoy collecting them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
