Obscene flaw in such valued stock? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blue chip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'valued stock?' is the definition.
(type of trading stock)

'obscene flaw in' is the wordplay.
'obscene' becomes 'blue'.
'flaw in' becomes 'chip' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.**).
'blue'+'chip'='BLUE CHIP'

'such' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blue chip that I've seen before include "certain investment" , "Of high value" , "Excellent" , "Of shares, fairly reliable as investment if not gilt-edged" , "Highly prestigious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
