Right! But, as you say, it is up to us, the collectors, to refuse to pay the high prices for any chip that is known in the cancelled state. I have many drilled chips, including the brass core, Crystal Bay Club, 5, 25 & 100. In my opinion, they are worth as much or more drilled than undrilled. At least, I know that mine are originals. But, I wouldn't want to list them at the same or higher as it wouldn't be fair to the guys who have the authentic, undrilled chips. Face it, Whalen and the "fixers" are ruining our hobby. It will never be the same. I do not understand why the fixers are allowed to remain in the club.
