... in his ebay description.

"THIS ITEM IS AN AUTHENTIC CHIP RECIEVED WHILE PLAYING BLACK JACK AT THE VERY CASINO REPRESENTED ON THE CHIP. IT WAS EXAMINED BY THE PIT BOSS AT THE TIME OF IT'S DISCOVERY. THE PIT BOSS EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A ROLL OF CHIPS THAT WERE MISPRINTED AND THEY HAD RECOVERED MOST? THEY WERE VERY PERSISTANT THAT WE TURN IT OVER TO THEM. HOWEVER, WE REALIZING THE SIGNIFICANCE, ELECTED NOT TO. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OFFERS MADE BY VERY RESPECTED COLLECTORS/AUTHORS, ALL HAVE BEEN REJECTED BY US. WE FEEL THIS IS TRULY THE ONLY WAY TO OBTAIN THE TRUE VALUE OF SAID CHIP. THIS CHIP IN NO WAY HAS BEEN ALTERED BY ANYONE TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND WE WOULD BE WILLING TO PROVIDE SPECIFICS TO AUTHENTICATE OUR STORY WITH RESPECT TO, HOW WE CAME TO POSSESS IT."

My questions are:

Who are these ... "VERY RESPECTED COLLECTORS/AUTHORS"?

I wasn't aware that chips came in ... "A ROLL OF CHIPS THAT WERE MISPRINTED AND THEY HAD RECOVERED MOST?"

How can one tell that ...? "THIS CHIP IN NO WAY HAS BEEN ALTERED BY ANYONE TO MY KNOWLEDGE"

Many of you folks may recall the post I made on this message board several months ago about these altered chips being offered on ebay. In fact I altered one myself and provided a scan just to demonstrate how easy it was. Ron Leis even cancelled his ebay bid after this disclosure was made public.

Frankly, I am surprised that these easily altered chips are still in play at Borgata and that the entire rack has not been ordered replaced by New Jersey gaming authorities.
