"Thanks, not sure what turned out to be wrong though."

This.

"I am amazed Gene seems to refer to me as someone he has spoken with on this topic or has information from me indicating how and when I acquired them."

Another thing, Gene posted that the inserts in your chips are Paul-Son fantasy inserts, Ed showed you examples of other Paul-Son fantasy chips using the same inserts. Paul-Son has used a set regimen of insert varieties for fantasy chips, because if they didn't, chips made with a real casino color combination could be easily slipped into a stack or rack of real chips at a casino, and cashed in at said casino. That alone would show that these were fantasy chips from the very beginning.

....sooooooo, being persons unaware of Paul-Son security procedures regarding the processes utilized in manufacturing fantasy chips, you and Matt would not have known that any claims that these chips were made for a real casino were inherently wrong.

Do you get it now?
