What a concept, casino chips that were actually used in a casino... Very well put Richard!! Although I don't collect Hard Rock chips, this situation is getting out of hand throughout the hobby. I especially think its amusing when a casino puts out a Limited Edition chip to dozens of collectors that have lined up for hours prior to the chip bing released. The only chips that see table action are the chips at the bottom of the stack. It is strickly a money making scheme for the casinos. Donald Trump's casinos have been doing this for years. You would think that one of them would actually make some money. Oh well thats my $.02!!
