O.K. I agree. You have convinced me that a burned chip is desireable... I'll have to start burning my chips before I send them out to my subscribers. 
Seriously though Greg ... I'll bet you my Big Mac against your Sonic Burger that if the next "illegal" you want that you have just seen on the convention floor that has a burn mark on it ... that you will be dissing the chip to the dealer in the hopes that he will lower the price because it is "damaged".
Is anyone familiar with "The Flame" chips .... purported to be from Las Vegas (which I doubt)? Virtually EVERY yellow chip I've seen from The Flame has cigarette burns on them .... probably put there deliberately.
