I keep looking from time to time on eBay. They do come up. As for the HR felts, they are rare and when they are listed they command a very heafty price. I got the felt below by just being at the right place at the right time. We were playing at 3am and the Pit Boss came up to our table and told us they would be closing it soon. We continued to play as a group of guys came in with toolboxes and started removing felts from the tables. As the Boss gave us another warning we asked if we could get a couple felts. He checked with the upholsterers and said sure. Give them an hour or so and they will have a few. When he finally closed our table at 5am he gave us a couple felts. They were pretty dirty and worn. Mine has a small cigarette burn and a tear around the back side of the chip tray hole. Some cleaning with a damp sponge and some creative framing and I am sure it will be really nice.
Now if I can only get one from Luxor. Those really impressed me with the Pheroh(?) head on them?
