There is a lot of interest in this chip. I have been exchanging emails of specualtion with othe Binion's collectors and have heard lots of theorys.

The chip inspires lust in the hearts of us (especially if it is real and rare).

I initially agreed with Jim Mcfadden's analysis of the lack of match in the TCR description but I now think it is accurate, just a little ambiguous.

TCR says the chip was from the 80's one theorist says it was concieved in the 2002 - 2003 time frame (?) The 500 Horshu is attributed to 1984 so those dates could be totally wrong.

Another interesting rumor is that there ae lots of these chips about to appear on the Home Shoppers channel. Lots (thousands) of binions chips are available from them.

I will make the following statements concerning this chip with complete confidence.

1. It is either very valuable or it isn't
2. It is real or it isn't
3. It is a rarity or it will soon be a keychain item

I would welcome Ross Poppel's opinion on all things Binion.

Enquiring minds want to know!
