I don't write much anymore, but I still read here when I have a few minutes. (or hours) Nice work on finding that these are home play LE's 1,200 each made.

One thing that I found amusing on someother auctions, this person and some others selling the Faux and reproduction chips. "Postage $1.43" Which without much math, means the cost of the chip + postage and they are still making money. The bid price is all the profit.

I also can see that Paulson has clearly printed the 1998 on the chip, which should keep it clearly marked as a modern chip, not the original. How many more of these will we see? It depends on the market. If this guy sells the reproductions and makes a clear profit, others will follow. If he ends up eating these chips and they never sell well, hopefully the person that thinks they can make a chip and make money, will re-consider the investment.
