Yes, many of the chips were faded. However Julien’s thought they had significant value due to the fact that they are all matching serial numbered sets (#1). All of these items come from The Casino Legends Hall of Fame collection. I do agree they did a horrible job of describing what they were selling and that truly creates a buying opportunity. They have no experience in gaming Collectables. I have over 500,000 Casino items for sale and rest assured this will be the last Julien’s auction. 99.99 percent of items are not faded! Next time in Vegas call me for an appointment, I am sure I have something that would fit in with your collection.
