Good chuckle here. Auction, so bad and false, it is amusing. I'd rather not show a link to it, but easy enough to find via a search engine.
Chip pictured below. Seller says in auction:
"BEAUTIFUL POKER CHIP SET FROM BAUER!!! MUST HAVE!! ... .. HERE IS A WONDERFUL HARD TO FIND POKER CHIP SET ADVERTISING POKER GAMING FROM BAUER? ITEM AND LOCATION UNKNOWN. THIS GREAT HARD TO FIND GAMING CHIP IS IN GREAT SHAPE! A RED , WHITE, BLUE COLORED CHIP WITH SMALL CIRCLE MOLD. READS IN CENTER ON BOTH SIDES OF CHIP. BAUER.

Among the false things in the auction:
¶ not from "Bauer," but Michael Graves, the famous architect.
¶ not "must have"/ "hard to find" -- very common and usually all over eBay
¶ "item and location unknown" -- not so, see above.
¶ "small circle mold" -- circle couldn't be any thicker
¶ "PERFECT FOR ANY COLLECTION BECAUSE OF AGE" -- very recently made.
