I'm not sure where I stand on these particular chips. I do not find them to be especially misleading, but they certainly have that potential. I just believe that they present a gray area that should no be so easily brushed away. The anti-slabbing pledge includes not buying chips from anyone that sells slabbed chips. Why? And, if that makes any real sense, then why buy anything from someone that is known to alter/repair real casino chips? That is why I spotlighted Mark's issue number 5. I think this issue is worthy of consideration and discussion. For those that think there is an easy answer, I, for one, am not convinced.
