Whoa Nellie. Loads of words, lots of dodging. Very interesting. I'll make it short. (at least as short as I can?)

1) The proof that the chips are real, rests with the seller. It is not up to someone else to prove they are not authentic. Simple logic.

2) Does anyone have a copy of the Hobby Protection Act, which I'm pretty sure covers selling replicas as authentic items.

3) A few people have early versions of these Faux chips. I'm pretty sure I do since mine were purchased in 1993. (maybe not?) I have looked at them under UV and found none of the usual hidden Paulson markings.

4) If Robert only had two sets, as he stated, and he got them from a friend, who claimed they were originals from the movie. He's a) not going to be auctioning any more of these and b) is trusting the person who sold them to him...

There is no provinence attached to these, so the origin is not known.
