Bill Borland & World-Wide Casino Exchange!

I was looking for something else in the book "Las Vegas - Behind the tables" by Barney Vinson & found a small section where Bill Borland is quoted from 1986. It is very interesting...............

"Bill Borland, founder of World-Wide Casino Exchange in Las Vegas, says "A lot of stamp collectors, and coin collectors, are abandoning that hobby and converting over to chips and tokens. Because every time someone farts, they do a commemmorative coin on it. You can't keep up with it. But there was only one El Rancho. There was only one Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo." Borland says a $25 chip from the original El Rancho sold recently for $125, but as for a $100 chip from the same ill-fated casino: I can't put a price tag on it."

Keep in mind this was a quote from Borland made 14 years ago!
