The Comstock, in Reno, closed at noon on November 17, 2000...almost 60 days ahead of schedule. Because of this sudden, early closing, many chip collectors did not have the opportunity to fill holes in their collections of Comstock house chips.
I have the opportunity to acquire Comstock $25, $5, and $1 chips for anyone who still needs them. I need to know prior to Tuesday, December 19th, if you'd like to be sure of getting any Comstock chips you'd like at these prices. Depending on the number of people interested, they may or may not still be available at these prices as part of the January specials on the Chips Off the Old Block website.
COMSTOCK $25
This chip recently sold on eBay (since the Comstock closed) for $47. Recent history indicates that this may be a bargain. The Virginian closed in
1997. The Virginian $25 lists in Chip Rack #7 at $75 - $99, only three
years later. The Holiday closed in 1998. The Holiday $25 which was on the
tables when it closed is now listed in Chip Rack as a "K" value...$60 -$74,
only two years later. If you would like the Comstock $25 scanned below, it is priced at $38.
COMSTOCK $5
This chip also has sold on eBay since the Comstock's closing. It brought a price of $12.49. The last $5 from the Holiday in Reno (N5169)...only two years obsolete, now has a Chip Rack value of $30 -$39 !! The Comstock $5 is priced here at $8.
COMSTOCK $1
The Comstock alternated between two different $1 chips during its last
two years. The Orange, Large Key, N5035, was on the tables when the Comstock
closed. It was one of the few Nevada casinos still using a Large Greek Key
$1 as its house chip. A white, H&C mold chip was used briefly in 1998. The Comstock $1 Orange, Large Key is priced at $3.
If you'd like to add any of these Comstock house chips to your collection, please LMK by Tuesday at noon Eastern time.
NOTE: Prices do not include $1.50 postage and handling. Insurance of $50, if
desired, is an additional 85c. Thanks..and Happy Holidays !!
