It has been a while since new Cuban "fakes" came out to the market, but last night....Bingo!!
My computer crashed, so I am trying to do this via iphone, very difficult with my old fingers and poor knowledge of this iphone ....so, cannot upload the pictures.
Would appreciate if somebody uploaded them for me!
NOTE: Other chips being sold by this Cuban Gentleman with vast knowledge of Cuban chips, who resides in Canada, are real and some very good!!
1- Ivory chip from Union Club... good imitation of original, these fakes apparently were made quite sometime ago, only several showed up, unfortunately some were purchased by collectors.
2- Three sets of MOP from the Cardenas club. The casino existed but never made any MOPs, a very poor casino in a small town. Basically the only MOP's found from Cuba were the Union Club and some sets made for very rich or powerful men for private use. And these are poorly made fakes.
