Bob, just to 2nd your thought, I got my 1 chip from a pit boss who knew I was there for the convention, in his free time while sitting at the craps table he started going thur the $5 chips asking "if I had this one" or "this one" (refering to the Orleans Poker tourney chip) and that's how I got my 1 and only chip, therefore making it a Live chip.
