I too have been lurking on the sidelines witnessing this great heated debate with much interest and entertainment.

While it's nice not to be the subject of attacks and counter-attacks for a change ..., and while I'm not a big fan of Sutton's bullying lawsuit-threat tactics ... I believe that "casino chips" should be issued by casinos. I don't buy into the premise that $25 fantasy chips are $25 "casino chips".

"The term "Casino Chip" is COMMONLY used by collectors and non collectors alike to refer to a type of chip not necessarily its source" ... Pete Sanders.

The above quote is not COMMONLY used by this chip collector.

Now let's go back to the continued squabbling. Evidently it's a slow hobby news day and it would appear that there is much interest in this "debate" ... judging by the number of hits each post and counter-post is receiving.
