How to distinguish real Borlands from fake Borland
In Response To: Re: Borland Fake-Fakes ()

His fakes are almost certainly paste-ons, no recessed inlays. That is, they are just stickers on chips. They must have no cross-hatching, which can be felt and seen on real Borland and other chips. I see that his dsign is somewhat different. This is what I put in my auction of a real Borland, which begins tonight:

"Bill Borland made these commemorative, fantasy, casino-quality poker chips about 15 years ago to celebrate 10 Las Vegas casinos. All of Borland's chips were casino quality -- they were all inlaid chips; the inlays were RECESSED into the clay; the inlays were not mere slick stick-ons. You can feel the cross-hatching (linen finish) over the entire surface of the chip. Today, the chips are obsolete and highly collectible. I am making a market in these chips .... .... ...... Contact me if you would like more information about them."
