Here is what I was told. They are a re-order of the original chip, however, there are a few slight color differences as well as font, but that could just be a printing thing, I don't know, and I cannot offer a professional answer on this. They are new, as they clean up very well. Thats the best I can offer. They look different to me, but thats my OPINION. I will be down again next weekend, so if anyone wants some, I will gather up. Thanks. Dave
