It appears that a real CA card room/Casino ordered them, but from what I've read, canceled the order. You can find them on eBay, you used to be able to buy them from Paulson.
$3 may be high for a store chip, but it's top dollar for someone who collects Fantasy and wants one.
Interesting note. The $500 I have from Paulson and the $500 someone was selling in a bunch of casino chips, are different colors.
It might be that real chips were made, not received and then store chips were made, using the same inlays.
I can say with absolute positive assumption, that I don't know for sure. But I have seen more than one color inserts and chips of some of the denominations.
