John,

Nobody here is in favor of counterfeit chips being passed off as genuine. In fact knowingly doing so is probably criminal in every State in the US.

If you have information about counterfeit chips, the must useful thing to do is pass on information about how to detect them. I would love to have that information.

As for the Hobby Protection Act, I do not believe it is a particulary useful piece of legislation and if you believe it will protect you any better than existing laws than feel free to lobby for the inclusion of the Casino Collectibles.

for those who are interested you can find the Act here . . . http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/ch48.html#PC48
