FYI: Most Common Cuban fakes

Although the number of Cuban chips for sale have significantly decreased due to the new eBay & Paypal "embargo rules", that has not stopped some sellers who knowingly, or not, continue to sell some fake chips or chips from other places and attribute their origin as Cuban.

Is becoming more and more rare but unfortunately still happens.

**I have put together the fake chips that have shown up on ebay, in somebody's online "store", and direct sale that I know of, since January of 2014.

Please note that the last 3 chips in the larger photo are real but come from Monaco & Uruguay. BTW, the page is quite generic right now, just wanted it up. Will format it better and explain when and how must of these chips ended up here, some very cool stories.

Use this link that I have created specifically for this and which I plan to continue updating as soon as I see any new ones.
I am missing the latest fake, a $1 MOP from Club Union, which I will update as soon as I receive the chip.

WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP if any of you find a Cuban chip that you are not sure is real to email me at tecnamar@aol.com. I will give you the answer and when fake it helps as I can update the link/page. I DO NOT MIND AT ALL. It helps the integrity of the Hobby.
