I'm like Sgt Schultz when it comes to chips - - "I know nothing"

But ignorance is not bliss!

I was interested in some early chips, e.g. first issue Flamingo, but didn't want to part with the cash without some assurance of authenticity. If they were slabbed by a reputable company, I'd be buyer of many early Las Vegas chips. I suspect they are easily faked with deceptive results, and would not buy without a reputable authentication by a reputable company like PCGS or NGC.
