check out the header in this auction...

World Series of Poker Chips Binion?s Horseshoe WSOP - eBay (item 360121880435 end time Feb-04-09 22:17:33 PST)

Goes on to say they're "almost identical replicas" in the body of the auction. You'd figure that ceramics would be able to rip off these classic chips identically.

What a douche.

"...These chips look almost identical to the chips used by greats as Stu Ungar, Russ Hamilton, Jack Straus, Dan Harrington, Johnny Chan, Huck Seed..."

Russ Hamilton = great? Seller needs to work on his sales pitch.

I was about to buy them until I saw the pic of Hellmuth. Deal breaker.

I love this part...

These chips are high quality chips with a ceramic type of feel and sound.

Wow an authentic ceramic type of feel and sound??? Could that be because they ARE CERAMIC you douche?

Don't forget about these AUTHENTIC replica Rounders chips:

Rounders Movie Poker Chips Set Teddy KGB RARE Chip Prop - eBay (item 180304648330 end time Feb-04-09 01:27:42 PST)

Just like Teddy KGB used. I think there's even authentic replica oreo crumbs on the $100s.

I was in touch with this guy a while back when he first started taking "pre-orders" on ebay for those Rounders replicas. It was right around the time of the last Rounders GB here, and he didn't have clear pictures, so I thought maybe he was looking to resell GB chips after he received his order.

Anyways, I don't think he's well-informed about chip stuff in general. I don't know how he got those replicas, but he does have a lot, even though he had no idea what ASM or the roman mold had to do with Rounders. (Probably still wouldn't if it wasn't for our communication.) The fact that he has no idea about the difference between WSOP paulsons and ceramic replicas doesn't surprise me.

I do have a set of his replicas, as well as an original prop chip, and some other replica samples, and I actually think his are the best. But at his prices, I'd just as soon order my own from ASM.
