but what on earth made him think that chip was used by George Washington? .... did he think he could fool chip collectors or is there something on the internet, that made him think it was actually possible that it was used by G.W. ..... people often make errors on eBay when selling items they have no idea about, but this one just seems like he typed a complete 'made-up' non-researched story. The is based on 'education' and I really appreciate the posting Robert .... this eBay listing is crazy but the discussion on the timelines of what chips were first made of and when game of poker was first played was very informative. Cheers.
