My only point is that Hot stamps can easily be made. I am not saying whether or not the chip in question is real. That is not the point. The point is that a real chip (especially hot stamps) can be made today.

Wear and color of chip doesn't faze me that much. We all know that old chips have surfaced in the last few years with no wear at all. They were sitting in a distributor or manufacture's warehouse. The chips are legitimate. It's just that they never saw the inside of a casino (and, hence, no wear)

No one is attacking the seller.
