Being one who loves to stir up the mushy brown stuff, I too, had to email the seller and see what I could get out of him. Will post his response if he chooses to respond. Mike (okay., so there are a few stretches in my post to him, but hey, wanted to see if he would admit to lying or not!!)

Hi! Can you tell me more about this chip? I am interested in it, but I have 4 different Casino chip pricing and reference guides, and all of them only show Casino 88 as being open in the mid 1970's in Stockton, California, in which case this chip would be worth much less. I also contacted the International Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club, and the only Casino 88 they were aware of was also the 1970's one. Was there a casino with the same name as this before.? Please let me know, so I can be confident before I bid. Thank you!
