You stated "Why would I need to cover anything." That's my question to you, my gut feeling your not the source of these hand painted chips. In summary,
I notified you that AC gaming would not approve painted on inserts. You then said the inserts only go a few microns into the chip. I showed you a picture that you were wrong that the 1.00 white chip inserts go all the way through. You then came back and said stuff about melting temperature etc.. I then showed you a black chip and a Green chip with inserts going all the way thru. Then someone posted AC gaming laws referenced to chips.
Then you came up with the story of Paulson in a rush produced these chips with painted inserts. I blew that story away because Park Place 100(BPP-100) was the first issue and can't match up with the story. Then you said that it wasn't the first issue, I replied that you were wrong and to look at Archie catalog. Then you came up with, that you thought I was talking about the 2nd issued 100 to make the story match up. It's wasn't me that started this discussion but when I read it and saw the picture that Rich was sending the chips to Ricky which I know you saw, you said you thought I was talking about the 2nd issued 100 while all along the discussion was regards to the chips pictured including the first issued 100.

I just noticed you stated "It's not impossible the story from Paulson was to cover someone's ass. It's happened before." That is 100% true and feel that's what's going on here. I know that the story told could not have happened the way it was said because the BPP-100 was the first issue as I explained.

For the record, I recall many years ago when these chips started showing up on Ebay, I had bid on the chip but was outbid. The following week another chip appeared and I was outbid again. This went on for two more weeks until I won an auction from nevadamint. Russ Diaz was not the one that introduced these chips to the hobby, it was nevadamint with his ebay auctions as far as I can tell. I don't recall discussing these chips with Russ. My gut feeling is you are not the source of these chips. You stated "I have absolutely no interest in the outcome", I do and would love to be able to prove who the source of these chips came from. If you have anything new to share, I'm all ears. I'm going back to sleep, I have no set hours.
