Here is another amusing, award-winning eBay auction description. It merits a good chuckle, what with so many incorrect things in it. I didn't bother to contact the seller. The chips are pictured below. Here is part of the description: "Five Assorted game/poker chips, made of various materials, bakelite, pressed fiber, and plastic"
The dealer is wrong three out of three. The chips are clay composition and paper. Dealers call everything bakelite. Here the seller hurts himself by calling the clay composition chips "plastic." (The two on the left do look and feel like plastic, but are clay composition. Can't fault the dealer too much there. And the composition must include a lot of plastic.)
