I fully understand the market for home use chips, and the desire to have a home set that is like what you'd find in a casino card room in both feel and appearance. Chips made in a classic mold make them even more desirable for just such a market, and I'll admit that is a good looking set of chips.
That said, the primary problem I have with this particular set of home use chips that Josh has had made is, he chose to include a location (Las Vegas NV) in the design. Key West is also a location, and as such it probably wasn't a wise choice either.
These chips will be sold as real chips from a real casino, I have no doubt about it, it is only a matter of time.
The more chips like these are introduced, the more difficult it becomes to try to keep up with educating people as to their origin. That is not a good thing for this hobby.
