thank you!! Your answer above was stated very eloquently and very "matter-of-fact". I don't have a real big collection of chips, but in this collection that I truly treasure are the Flamingo Capri "2 for 1" chip and the $5 Foxxy Lady. I bought both, not having much knowledge of Borlands, HOPING that they weren't fake but knowing that they might be. And if or when I sell them, I will disclose their "questionable" origins.

But it is the fact that this discussion was held in a very civil manner, that people presented differing viewpoints and opinions, and that many of us are a bit wiser for your sharing of information -- without having to endure the "daggers" of past discussions -- is WONDERFUL!!

So a hearty thank you to Gene, James C and Mr. Perlowski from a fellow collector. Steve B
