Mike; Let's just suppose that Joe Sixpack was very friendly with a small casino owner in Las Vegas and convinced the "house" to issue an extremely low number of a Limited Editon chip (let's say 500 just for conversation sake) commemorating a road-kill of a rare animal like the "Roadrunner" or "Jackalope" on Boulder Highway. Joe Sixpack winds up with the bulk of the chips ... if not all of the 250 chips ... and he begins to market them as "extremely rare" $1 chips. Now it's true the casino sold them to Joe for $1 face value.... so the "casino" really didn't make any money on the chips after considering artwork, die charges, production costs, etc...., but if Joe entered into a private agreement with the casino owner to split the $100 each he was charging to those crazy chip collectors for these "rare" chips ... do you think that scenario would be too far-fetched? All of this is hypothetical of course ..... to protect the guilty.
