If you really thought the chip in question was 6 blue and 6 white edge marks(BPP-100a) then we can dismiss the entire story from your friend because the chip in question is the first issued 100 chip with 12 blue edge marks(BPP-100). That's the chip(BPP-100) with the hand painted inserts and is included in this link below of a chip going to Ricky because Ricky destroyed his. The (BPP -100) and the Showboat 100 is what was being discussed even before I got involved. I have no information regarding BPP-100a as having painted inserts. In summary your friends story and your defense of it is dismissed for this discussion since it doesn't relate to the chip in question (BPP-100) with the hand painted inserts. I don't understand how Rich had the same story with reference to the BPP-100 and is the chip he's sending to Ricky after Ricky destroyed his and now your saying you thought it was BPP100a. Common man.... get your story straight.
