...I didn't see you warning anyone that he had been fixing chips for the convention

Michael, wake up. Every collectible known to man gets fixed.

Coins get fixed (besides being whizzed, mint marks have been known to be added to rare coins)

Currency gets fixed (wrinkles have been known to magically disappear)

Beanie babies get fixed (needle and thread is the main fixing material)

Hummels get fixed (an x-ray machine is needed for the quality work done these days)

All collectibles get fixed.

I also spoke with Dave Whalen. He showed me 7 identical chips (they were in a coin tube so I don't know which chips they were). He said one dealer had told him they were for his personal collection. However the also dealer wanted Dave to have them ready by the convention.

Hmmmmmm...... now that is suspicious.
