authentic bud jones?

[JohnnyJersey]

hey...anyone know if this guy is lying about these chips being authentic bud jones chips? I could have sworn I saw this same auction a couple of weeks ago, and the seller was not sure if they were BJ or not...but now...he (or she) claims that they are BJ... maybe I am wrong however

I have been watching e-bay for certain obsolete and retired real casino chips for quite some time. I am not an authority, however I have seen these many times and I about 99.99999999999999% sure they are not real BJ chips. Check out what they end up going for. They probably will sell for around $100

If they were from a real casino they would be MUCH more. Anything under $1 / chip for real casino BJ chips would be a steal.

i'm pretty sure this dude sold one of these sets already...you are correct...they only sold for like 180 bucks (at the most)...what a sneaky bastard. I tend to think they are not authentic BJ's either...

Yeah, lying... BJ never made that mold. (If I could feel one I could tell for 110% sure, but there's no doubt in my mind.)

Looks like this seller just bought these chips about 2 weeks ago for $215: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 6166605203

At least that earlier seller was a little bit coy (at the bottom of the auction) about whether they were BJs, instead of just misrepresenting them baldly.

They might be OK chips, they're just not Bud Jones. When I saw them originally I wondered, because they don't look like any of the usual suspects for coin inlays (BJ, Matusi, the newer cheap Chinese, etc.).
