Luis, I see them as fantasy chips or commentating a certain Casino. I also see a collector value, basically what they are worth only upon themselves, not anything to do with the casino or comparison to any real chips. Just an item maybe equal to what you'd find in a gift shop with the casinos name on it, but still has some value and this can go up or down due to desirability or rareity like anything else not having anything to do with other chips. It is only a reflection of the real thing and we all know them to be like a cigarette lighter with the name but just on a chip. No harm done and the Thunderbirds I have are more commemorative with the opening date to the closing date on them. Just celabrating the Casino in chip form, not ever meant to be a casinos form of currency like a real chip, like any gift store item giving tribute by having the name on it.I can understand your opinion but it is part of the gaming history and never meant to be a fake or anything more than a tribute and commemorative item to remember and celebrate the casino nothing more.See you at the convention, Torrey
