"he did what could be one of the most devistating things you could possibly do to the collectors. He put doubt in everyone's mind about any chip that was out at this time."

That is true.
But:
I have spoke with MANY collectors that did business with Borland at his store.
Without a doubt, all say Borland did NOT tell them the NV molds were real chips. He had a huge mail order business in home play chips. He sold some of the NV molds to CA card rooms. The Centerfold Poker Room chips for sure were used in a CA card room.

BTW his Blue Book sells in the $200 range today.
I am not making excuses for Borland, just stating what I've learned about the man.

"the Yellow Card Room chip on the board. I asked a simple question, is it real or a Borland. I think everyone that answered said REAL! I'm sure it's in the archives somewhere"

I did not reply to that thread, although I suspected they were Borlands. I usually don't in those queeries unless I am 100% sure. Last week after the convention, we got the proof they were Borlands. It helps to see them up close.

Yes the H&C's are real IMO.
Borland attained access to Paul Endy in 1990 or so thru a very influential LV mover and shaker but all we can prove is he bought overruns. We know of no H&C's actually made for Borland. The SS was a licensed casino, they had to have had chips.
