Have you contacted the seller? I would bet that he would replace any chip in which you were not satisfied or refund your money --YOUR choice.

Mike runs the same auctions every so often. For convience sake, he uses the same scan in many instances. I don't think he could run the number of auctions he does if he scanned the chips for each and every auction. You say you've bought from him before. The same thing probably occured in that action but for whatever reason you didn't have a problem.

I bet the majority of people on this board have bought from Mike at one time or another. Mike is consistant. He is not out to screw anyone. In fact I know some have complained that Mike has lowered the value of some high end chips by offering them on eBay at his famous $9.99 price.

Contact Mike. See if I'm not right. Mike will do right by you.
