A few years before Premiere Props was selling of the chips from the MIRAMAX archives there were several racks sold from the set by somebody in the production of the film Rounders. A complete set of chips (20 x each denom from both the Chesterfield Club and Teddy Kgb's was immediately turned over to a collector in NY).

That left two racks of the $100 chips from both clubs that were gradually sold off until Premeire Props started selling off the rest. I know because I was involved in the original transaction and the four ASM boxes of Ronders prop chips sat (briefly) on my poker table the night they were delivered!! There was no COA for those chips but copies of the correspondence respecting their provenance were provided and sent to subsequent purchasers

There have been a bunch of crappy copies for sale recently on feeBay (a real set of the Chesterfield Club chips went for a great price within the last couple of days) and eBay should be more vigilant in its listing requirements .

The proliferation of lookalike chips just highlights how careful we have to be as informed collectors.
