I'm creating a new section for the Beginner's FAQ titled "Pitfalls, Controversies, and Scams" to try to help chippers avoid chips/trades/purchases/etc. they might regret.

So far I have 5 questions/topics for the section...

1) Brass Core Controversy
2) Slabbing Controversy
3) Fake and Fantasy chips
4) eBay Scams (this question could be broken up into more questions if I have enough material)
5) How can I avoid being taken advantage of in a trade?

I'm looking for more questions for this section, and as I've only been collecting now for about 5 months, I'm sure I haven't seen all of the scams/shady practices/etc. that you more venerable collectors have. So please take a moment and send me anything you think might fall in this category.

Thanks a ton!
Will
