PCF member Input:
Charles, It seems your quest to defile PCF and the sets guys and gals is insatiable! First off you claim that the "stripes", I assume you mean inserts, are painted on is completely baseless without you having the chip in question in hand. Is the inlay pressed in the chip or is it a sticker printed and installed, that would be the easiest way to figure out the authenticity of the chip. I own and have owned MANY chips that are NOT in the Chip Guide or Chip Rack and are 100% authentic. To think that your guide is in any way all encompassing or complete is ludicrous!
The chip in question is 100% most definitely a product of Classic Poker Chips. The inlay is most likely a sticker printed on and stuck to the chip, again easy to detect and identify, most likely stuck over the original inlay and easy to peel off which would NOT be the case if installed at production. I know that David Spragg would certainly not produce an inlay exact replica from a casino current or past and press it to a chip so this must be the case here if this chip is a "Fake" intended to deceive. Classic Poker Chips is a good company making quality chips for the home market which are clay casino grade chips, are you suggesting that David should stop producing chips?? That too is a ridiculous idea!
I know you lurk around PCF either logged in as @ChipGuide or as a visitor not logged in to gather all the "incriminating evidence" to make sets guys and maybe PCF in general look bad ( Ready to fess up to being @chip Guide Yet?) but you post here one picture of a chip or chips, (are you claiming that both chips shown are fake?) and claim it was sold on PCF with the intent to defraud. Why wouldn't you do your due diligence and grab screen shots of the sale ad?? Who sold it?? did they fake it?? were they dupped? (doubtful as us PCF'ers know as much about chips and authenticity as you do, maybe, probably more)
No you just spew out some supposition from your brain and state it as fact with little or no evidence to smear PCF'ers and continue your Don Quixote quest high on your horse, lance in hand poking at wind mills. Screen shots are easy, go get the evidence! Expose the counterfeiter! Us sets guys don't really care much about overlables and fakes because there is so few of them that are quality enough to fool anyone, well, except I guess you, that we just consider them as commemoratives or something someone overlabled to resemble chips they would love to play with that they otherwise couldn't afford, we know fakes from reals dude. I'm not a proclaimed expert but I'll bet you you couldn't send me a chip that would fool me.
Classic Poker Chips produces chips on the Diamond Square Mold to this day, They also produce chips on the Small Crown, Large Crown, HCE Mold and many more, do you suggest this activity stop? Well you'd have to take that up with David. I don't suspect every Mint condition, seemingly 50 year old chip of being fake, and while he certainly COULD I know that David would never produce a fake, he has higher standards than that. Instead of spewing partial facts and supposition and rumor and do the investigating and post when you have evidence against the individual and not continue to slam PCF because I will say that the Admin there, @Tommy would not participate in such things either, he to has standards relating to the hobby as I do at PokerChipper.
Seems so far as I type. Joe (thunder/Snow) has chimed in regarding your ongoing gripes too showing me that some are sick of your aggressive nature toward PCF and any other site in the hobby.
When you have facts and hard evidence Ill read your posts, till then know that I will ALWAYS be around to keep you honest and call out your BS and half truths to genuinely protect all aspects of our hobby.
In closing I have to ask again and always, Are you ready to admit your @ChipGuide over at PCF? I for one would never let anyone use a ghandle at PokerChipper.com without absolute verification of who was claiming to represent the ChipGuide, the ChipBoard or any other reputable website. Personally I'd worry more about "Fake" user handles representing my product that stickers on base chips most likely produced by a reputable company like CPC, who's owner is the President of the CCA. Curious, did you make the painted on "stripes" comment in some weird attempt to protect CPC or did you really not know of the molds there all currently produced because just from the picture I can tell the base chip is a real chip with real inserts.
Always vigilantly yours,
Dan
