I used it in my Blight Upon the Community post, but my picture server is in transition right now and my linked pics do not appear.
The Coconut Beach knock offs had started as Condado Beach "tribute" chips, but the manufacturer (as I understood it) was reluctant to duplicate the colors, inserts and inlay artwork. (Credit to Blue Chip.)
HOWEVER, in a separate effort, the Condado Beach (Paul-Son original set) chips were used to create a ceramic set of out China, by SunFly.
Here is a pic of the final product:

Again, these are printed to flat, smooth ceramic disks, similar to Chipco chips, but they are NOT Chipco. Just cheap, Chinese knock-offs!
As I have stated before, I doubt that we can stem the tide of this stuff, but we need to document and record it's existence so that years from now it will be known that these had nothing to do with a real casino, etc.
Thank you for your comments my friend.
Jim
