is there a reason for the white spot below the $100?

In regards to Canada, there are no laws in Canada that prevent casino’s from selling their obsolete chips as I have already spoke to and been speaking to gaming commision’s here(“Obtaining casino property including checks in the likes of your request does not fall under our purview”) and many casino operators by phone conversation, this understanding is what I have currently gauged through my interaction with all of them. There are legalities involved due to copyrights(branding, logos etc) which would need to be addressed with lawyers, and security concern’s especially if they have other casino’s under the same banner and it is at the operators discretion to decide to liquidate their property to a private buyer and from my experience it is difficult unless you can butter them up and build relationships with them personally which is currently my campaign’s plan B so I could extract these soon to be lost or destroyed casino relics. My goal more so than make money is to save them as I am both a businessman and a chipper, but it is Everest to climb. That’s all the info I have and hope it was informative. Now back to my 10 jobs.
Side novel: even though chippers find that casino’s making money off all of their obsolete and soon to be disposed of chips is normal and would make sense, they find the request unusual and concerning esp to anyone with no track record in that venture (cough* cough* Chiproom Canada Jim), Jim and other’s process may normalize it in the future as security concerns drop and confidence of selling them raises, but as like chiproom sales, once it does, if it does, he who is the quickest to act and has the large some of money to put forward, gets the bill.... or more so has golden tickets(personal connections) and the first to have personal connections will dominate the market share which Jim mammoths over anyone currently and will likely do so going forward and an expansion into different countries will further that dominance
Also, a flood of chips from different casino’s at once may bottleneck businesses selling these chips (customer cash shortage as chips are niche and do not have a massive market.... yet) leaving inventory stagnant with money sitting on the shelves but can be resolved by selective purchasing(looks, mold, colors etc) and pacing it’s release which would take a lot of old cheddar and a bigger warehouse. Also, to prevent Pandora’s box from exploding, it may just be best to let the one paid Pied Piper play his flute.

The dreaded yellow film is back. For those of you who don’t know what I’m referring to, let me use the pictures of the HSI Snappers as a reference. The HSI Snappers had a very heavy yellow film on them causing them to look a completely different color, rather than pink. Ended up having a dedicated thread just for people to share their methods on how to remove this nasty stubborn yellow stuff. Refer to link below,
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/hsi-secondary-snapper-cleaning-tips.69427/
Opened up the shipment along with my good friend @Ocharacato only to see yellow lines in the cover of the box holding the 1K Secondary. He dabbed the microfiber with a little bit of oil, gave it a wipe, and there it was front and center. The amount of yellow that came off the chip in the pic below was only after one wipe. That’s not a full blown cleaning. There’s probably plenty more. Wiped down a Used Primary 1K, it’s also present on that chip.

@TheChipRoom, I believe it’s safe to assume that you had no knowledge of the yellow film being present on these chips prior to them being sent out. Question is, what happens now? This stuff is incredibly stubborn and I’ve ran chips through the ultrasonic three times along with hand scrubbing after each with it still being somewhat present. Had no idea it would rear its ugly head again via these beautiful blaze chips.

I would wash off with my own pee. At least it's mine.

I think plenty of people in the site will make you whole. Just start an ad for sale if these at TCR prices and you will be free to pursue other chips very shortly.
Clearly GPI/Paulson is using an alternative ingredient or new formula for some of its chips. Yikes.
Just noticed, both the Jack Cincinnati and HSI chips were made (at least introduced) in 2016.

Only one sensible thing to do. Sell them at half-price.

So bummed I missed on this sale completely. Had enough $ in slush fund to get whatever I needed. Health issues can prevent you from even wanting to open laptop let alone scramble for an order. Been a difficult week but this too shall pass. Good thing odds pretty good there will be another sale of another casino sooner or later.
Apparently a secret fluorescent dye of some sort.
It looked like the HSI secondary $5's may have had it on their own too vs picking it up in transit from the snappers.
Did that lab test reveal anything of note?
Chip dust also contains it from the affected colors.

I’m not worried about myself. I know these would be picked up very quickly if I did that. I was mostly thinking about the others who are unaware of this issue as well as Jim. He’s a standup guy that discloses anything and everything when it comes to his sales. I’m sure he didn’t know about the presence of the film on these.

The other person that was supposed to take it to the lab bailed on me. Found another who will do it for $40. I’m going to submit a sample on Monday.

wanted to see what the yellow residue was all about before i get the ultrasonic set up.
Did you also use a little bit of oil?

Didn't use any oil. I dabbed a little bit of water and used both sides of the microfiber towel on it. I should probably review the thread that was posted to get additional suggestions.

Try placing some oil on the same cloth and wipe again. I’m sure it’s going to be a lot more. The mineral oil agitates and loosens it up way more than just water. Let us know if you try that.
Ok OK==== It's a Tracking Devise Solution that gets into yr skin, that all chippers can detect when yr selling or moving yr chips around !!
I wasn't going to reveal this, but toooooo much has gone on about this !!!!

Same thing happened with day old MGM Springfield snappers, no idea what causes it. Maybe hand oil reacting with the particular clay color/mix?
I always thought the yellow film was a optical brightener agent. I only see it on vibrant colors (HSI sec 2.5, 5, and 25). The snappers having the worse amount of film since they were overheated. That’s my theory.
