I have absolutely no problem with legitimate chips made by USPC or Burt that never saw the inside of a casino.

A good percentage of the most valuable chips ($20k to $100k or more) in the hobby never made it to a casino. Such chips were sitting in dust in a box at the Burt co. Such casino chips never made it out of Burt. Burt would alway hold back chips from an order in case of a reorder.

Many chips (thousands) from USPC have been found in cigar boxes at flea markets in the Cincinnati area. Again, these were actual chips that were never delivered with the original order. Workers would grab chips for the Friday night poker game.

I have no problem with any chips that were made by Burt or USPC however they were obtained

What I pointed out in my post was a chip that was made by a Cuban to appear to have been made by USPC. Inlays were printed and installed in blanks of colors that were not used in the original order. They are fakes
