So I should never claim a chip is obsolete unless I first confirm it with the casino?

If a reliable person posts information here I rely upon it. Maybe its wrong.

Look at the threads regarding Illegals.

Until Now, I attributed the Brook Club chips to The Brook in Saratoga. If I was selling the chip thats exactly what I'd have told you. Many people have repeated that attribution.

Now on the basis of the current discussion I do not believe that attribution. While there does appear to be a connection to the Saratoga area, exactly what the connection is is not apparent.

I would not now sell or trade these chips as comming from the The Brook, rather i would explain what i know.

If I sold these chips last week I do not believe I would have committed fraud. I may have been mistaken, I may have been wrong, but I would not have intentionally misrepresented these chips.
