The majority of all my USPC inventory through the years never saw the inside of a casino including my 87 CAL-NEVA Pinecones and 79 of my $1 C&S CAL-Neva along with all my JSB Arrowhead stuff and all my Burt Die-cut metal inlay and Harrah's Club Reno 5's that nobody in the hobby, including Howdy, never seen before I introduced them via the "Newhouse '94 Find" along with thousands of other USPC stuff and boxes of Playboy that came from in town (Burt) straight to Mount Dora and into my hands... and the Vernon Country Club full-face metal die-cuf RED and so, so much more.... Not a problem for me or anyone else whom I sold to in the past and, regarding lifting inlays and touched up graphic inlays and excess embedded inlays was and still is common but, unless either one of us have the chip in question, in hand; I think calling it anything other than original might not be accurate since there is so much of that series around that surfaced the day after Larry had the one in our club auction in ('96?) that did1000-bucks and, even then, I and Al were showing the same "messes-up" inlays to Henry who bought virtually everything we showed him.

Nothing wrong with in-shop stuff that came into the hobby... and my point is that there is so much that we have not yet seen yer except for what comes out of OH and KY...
