Rounders Movie Chips

Hi all, I'm looking for some help and advice with valuing a couple of chips that I have and was pointed in this direction as a good place to go by the people over at ccgtcc.

The two items I am looking for help with are both chips which were used in the Matt Damon and Ed Norton film Rounders and as I understand it are quite difficult to come by now.

Before you all start telling me about the replicas out there, these are the real deal AFAIK, made with the roman edging mould and with the exact face graphics that you see in the movie. I know that PCOL agreed with Miramax never to replicate the chips from that movie for anyone, and as far as I am aware have stuck to that agreement, so the only replicas out there differ in some minor ways from the originals - for example using the horse head mould, or having a colour bear graphic (in the case of Teddy KGB's set) or different colour $ amounts on the face.

Now I am no chip collector and acquired these chips simply because I thought they would appreciate in value (and because I'm a poker fan and they make great card protectors/conversation points =p), which I'm sure they have, judging by how you never see originals on eBay anymore etc.

So my question is, what are they worth? I have one of the $100 chips from Teddy KGB's place, and one of the $100 chips from the Chesterfield Club. The Teddy KGB chip has a slight imperfection on one side - there's a little dash of dark red on one of the green edge marks - I do not know if this is likely to make it more or less valuable, but I would imagine it is the only one in existence with this imperfection.

Any advice on how to value these chips would be much appreciated. I keenly await your responses.

Thank you.
