decided to take a chance on that chip after emailing you for your opinion. I think the reason I questioned it is because of this in your Borland hot stamp article :

"At the time Bill Borland purchased the rights to the Nevada & DieCard molds (c1991) he probably also purchased a large number of blank chips from these molds."

I trusted the seller and your opinion but that line about blank chips made me start wondering.
That is why I went to the TCR .
