I think the Borelands ARE very bad for the hobby. There have been countless people that have been suckered. I think the fake ivories are really bad. I think the GGS "commemoratives" are very, very bad. To add to the huge mountain of rip-offs we can put the new Dunes Commems. Oh wait, lets not forget the list of home poker chips like the Pharaoh's, Apache, etc.

Call me stupid, but I'm one of those silly people that thinks that "casino chips" that have a printed location on them (i.e. Las Vegas) should actually have been used in a casino in Las Vegas.

I appreciate your point, Rich.
