BTW, these chips ARE 4 to a strip. I just cut out the ones I wanted.

Sears is pretty much everywhere in the US and many other countries
too. I thought about Home Depot as a good alternative, but someone
here said that they weren't throughout the whole country. Menards is
pretty much here in the upper Midwest. Lowe's just got here to
Chicagoland, so I don't know how far it spreads. Ace Hardware is
pretty widespread - I think.

These are all stores I can get to. If there is some agreement in this
group, I will go to one of these and pick up paint chips that are
close to the Sears ones that I already have. I'll send them to Mike R
to scan. Then I'll pick a matching 10 from that set. (If we work with
similar sets, the documentation will be easier.)

I'm leaning toward Home Depot. They claim to be in 50 states, DC, PR,
10 provences of Canada, and Mexico. If no one has a problem with this,
I will proceed.
