Nice post Doug.
As you know I an among the "Others" you mention in your post.
I have made at least 20 posts since July, 2000 when these chips showed up.
IMO, I knew what they were when I gave Rene $25 for one at the Trop convention.

There are a lot of reasons for my opinion, they are in my previous 20 posts.
I have never made public one of my opinions why I believe what I believe. I believe it to be the best reason for my opinion.

My opinions are based on my research on Illegal Casinos and their chips. I collected my first illegal chips about 1962. Have well over 2,000 IDed ones now. That does not make my opinion right, it is just my opinion. IMO the green $25 is worth roughly $50 to an illegal collector.

Below you are accused of being my friend. I am proud to say that is true.

OK, I guess I posted what Peter wanted.
