OK--I give up--now everyone is emailing me and wants to know who is RIPPING them off. I will not say names, as I myself have tried in the past to let this person know that the cards were not real cards--but only samples. He knows that--they were given to him by the company! ALSO--I know--They do NOT belong to the man selling them on ebay. I have contacted him, and he changed his listing noting there are no bar codes on the backs. He is telling you in no certain words that these are samples. Let's not let this hurt our hobby.

The cards listed in the guide are real cards--issued by the casino--we were there--many times--at the casinos, and the value will remain $15-$25 per issue. If people want samples--then it looks like you can find them available--but they are still only samples. They hold a spot. I have photocopied cards and put them in my binders to hold a spot of missing cards. As I get the real cards, I can remove the paper. If necessary, I can make a liner note in the next book letting pople know the difference between the issued and samples. But I am sure those buying them are doing so for the "sample" of the card for their collections. Pat
