I know this has been re-hashed countless times on this board, but here's my e-mail to Dean Clark regarding his current listing of a fantasy Thunderbird chip:

Auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=717909767

Dean,
I've bought from you in the past and have always been happy with my purchases. However, it disturbs me to see this chip advertised as a genuine chip from Las Vegas, Nevada when it is a well-known fantasy chip that has "Las Vegas, NM" printed on it. Here is a reference page with information about this chip:

I find it hard to believe that someone as knowledgeable and experienced as you does not know this is a fantasy chip. This makes me feel your listing is purposefully deceptive.

You have a lot of great chips that a lot of collectors would love to have, but you do such damage to your own reputation by this type of misrepresentation that a lot of traders won't buy from you.
