John,

On some of the newer material being offered, the suction is just not there and the cutting and dealing become very difficult... especially while Roulette players are placing their own wager. If you were to peel off the inlay of an older C&S you would see the concave base of the portion that receives the inlay (which, of course, can be seen with the naked eye without peeling the inlay). Those chips did not present a problem, as I'm sure the better quality C&S chips offered today do not.

A good example would be the Phoenix Club - Cincinnati chip I offered with only one inlay on one side.
