We're all concerned when something like this enters our hobby. It tends to depreciate the authentic brass core chips as well. There are a few sample different color chips that are real. They were sold from the Harrah's, Tahoe vault. I would advise caution upon buying any unusual color of a brass core chip and would refrain from buying undrilled Crystal Bay Club brass cores unless you know and trust the dealer. There ARE a few undrilled CBC chips, but not many.

Believe me, I would post the name of this person if I knew who it was. It was someone unseen before at chip shows and unknown to the people that I spoke to. Even without the name, I wanted everyone to be aware of the situation.
