The ChipGuide is a reference for collectors. The ChipGuide has both real and fake chips so that collectors can make educated decisions. A note has been added, you will see it tomorrow, to the $500 Agua Caliente chip as follows: "This image is taken from the original order card and was altered to remove holes that attached the chip to the card."

If we didn't include fake chips on the ChipGuide, how would a collector be able to distinguish that a chip they were considering to buy was a real chip that was a new find and not yet on the ChipGuide or a fake?
