A message to all on this board. I recently posted some questions about a chip I aquired about six months ago on E-bay. Without going into all details about the chip I found that the TCR had updated it and its value increased considerably. I queried one of the authors of TCR and Gene Trimble. Both Gene and Michael Knapp responded to me with E-mails and a bunch of documented research about this chip. I think I may have made a bit of a nucience of myself but both of these chippers helped me a great deal. Im still a rookie in this hobby but Ive found that help is out there if you just ask. If someone does not have all the right answers they point you in the right direction. My big interest is the history of the chips and I not only found that I possibly made a very profitable investment I also learned about the casino in question and Im keeping a seperate file on just that place. Dont think it cant happen to you! Thanks again Gene and Michael. Don #R4288
