I too am fairly new to chipping. I have no mentor to guide me to the 'good' deals and steer me away from the 'bad' ones.

Early on I was 'duped' into buying a couple of fantasy chips (only $10-15 'wasted' but it still stings). To a fledgling chipper this kind of experience can sour them on the hobby and drive them away.

For the good of the chipping hobby, we should all 'care' what happens to our fellow chippers, especially the 'newbies'.

If the hobby is to flourish, everyone involved needs to apply pressure in any way possible to prevent the listing of 'fantasy chips(read garbage)' without accurate representation.
