It was Mike's father, Charles Endy, who was involved in originating the manufacture of clay chips sold by Paul-Son. After the passing of Charles' brother Paul and the control of Paul-Son changing hands, Charles and his partners created the Blue Chip Co. LLC to continue on with their poker-chip manufacturing heritage. Paul-Son and Blue Chip chips could be described as 'sisters' with the same heritage but each evolving using its own proprietary information.
For the home poker chip buyer, Blue Chip currently makes the clay chips for BuyPokerChips.com and Nevada Jacks, plus numerous other clay chips out there like James Bond, Viva Las Vegas, and Fan of Cards. Casino wise, a few of their many customers include the Golden Gate, Riviera, Aladdin, Sahara, Peppermill Reno, Silver Legacy, and the poker tournament chips for the T.V shows Poker Superstars and The Plaza.
The only difference between Blue Chip's casino grade chip and those you can buy for your home is a 'slight' increase in weight for the casinos. Manufacturing wise, all the chips have the same clay mixture; however, there are various factors including both the chip color and the chip mold that can have a great effect on the overall weight/feel of the various chips. Also, while many people describe these chips as having a 'shell' mold, the mold is actually 'six flames'. There's some trivia for you.  | |

I really don’t have a problem with your original post at all and in fact I thought it was a good post. The flaw was that a lot of people had already seen the GPI site and pokerchipreviews interview with Mike Endy so they took it as plagiarism vs. "interesting history"... In fact I had made a lengthy post about a month ago where I cut and pasted straight from the GPI site the very same article you referenced... Anyway, too bad this got ugly; it could have gone the opposite direction under different circumstances and I agree that you’ve been unjustly persecuted here..
