OK guys, either I got a heck of a deal or I got ripped off. I guess I will have to wait for the package to arrive to be sure.
Even if they aren't the real thing, at .40 a chip, they are hopefully still somewhat of a good buy.

If it's legit, you've got yourself quite a buy. If not, you should contact your credit card company. The product description on the eBay page looks accurate enough, it's just a matter of whether or not you get actually get shipped what was advertised. Quote: |

Maybe I can send a couple over to hunterking after I get them and he can compare them to the real deal. He seems to have quite a few of these. As for now, I'm still sorta neutral on the whole thing. It is a *gamble* so to speak. 
Sorry for the bad pun....... |

You did get the ESPN Tilt chips, but they don't have an inlay. They are like Blue Chip Blank chips. Still an OK price for blank clay chips.
From the auction description: THESE CHIPS WERE USED FOR THE DISTANT SHOTS AT THE COLORADO CASINO AND THEY ARE COLLECTABLE SINCE THEY ARE BLANK WITH NO INSERTS IN THE MIDDLE AND WILL NEVER BE PRODUCED AGAIN

What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ADME:B:EF:US:1 | That Ebay seller was the same person selling them before. You do know you purchased blank chips, right? If you read the fine print, they are the chips that have been shown at a distance. I think they are cool because you can add your own labels, but that is probably why you won them at that price.

G$ | Right, I am aware. chipandchair and yourself both pointed that out, but I did read that before I made the bid.
So I may ask around and see if someone can help me design a custom label for these or I may just leave them blank, haven't decided yet. I think if I do label them though, I should have them labeled to look like the original. Or do you think that would look like I was trying to rip someone off if I ever wanted to re-sell them? |

If it were me and I was planning on keeping them I would be creative and design a label that I would want. I suppose a rip-off of that would work just fine if that's what you really want.

If you matched the label from the show, you could say they were used on the show and you technically wouldn't be lying. You could add that the labels were added, but they look like the genuine article. If I were you I'd do that, these are one of a kind (one of thousands, but still limited) and by using the show labels you may even add value to those that are willing to blow big bucks on chips from TV.

Do they make mis-shadped labels to fit bluechips?
