Luke,

I don't recall if we have ever met, but I have met, and respect several of your stalwart supporters, so I am confident that you are above board.

I write to comment that I primarily collect $1 chips, but often find chips that catch my attention that aren't $1 chips. They may be be higher denominations, they may be illegals, they may be advertisements, and at the convention I received several personal chips (I need to return those favors). All these chips are displayed proudly in my collection.

I also have what I assume are being referred to as fakes. I picked them up because they made me happy. At the convention I picked up fantasy chips for the WSOP with Binions misspelled (had a Y), had to have them for that reason. Recently bought some Harley chips from Chuck Smorse, because I like Harleys.

The ones I like most (old pervert that I am) are a set of promotional chips Paulson had w/ topless girls. I keep an eye out for ones I don't have, and find them in folks cheapie bin. The first one I ever got was given to me by an employee of Paulson.

I say all this, because I have not always been told that they aren't from real casinos, but usually knew, and have never not been told, when I asked. I am at a lost as to why Ken would attack your chips, if you include pictures, and don't claim them to be something they are not, then you are being as honest as you could be expected to be.

If you have chips on here that your selling, or trading, I will make an effort to check them out. And don't change what you do, it has the respect of those that matter.

Yours Truly,

Aaron
