1 - I had purchased several plaques that came from the CARO Collection (as have other collectors) that I have not only posted here, but also explained how close the design, jurisdiction and casino name were to the actual. I have also explained that casino operators who I have personally known since 1992, in both the UK and Europa, have sent me manufacturers' samples stating the above...

David explained these [RITZ CLUB] are a running inventory.

I, too, find it odd for a high-denomination to come with several player markings, but do not think it's impossible... especially in London.
