... $275, which I raised to $300 when I paid Mike Quinlivan for it (don't know if the club matched the $275 or the $300).

The list which came with the lot went to #804, with 4 crossed out. I took that to mean the lot actually consisted of exactly 800 chips, though I haven't counted them, so don't know if any duplicates were listed.

I was really only bidding to bump the selling price up and was amazed when no one outbid me.

I am in the process of preparing a number of suggestions for changes to the regular and BF auctions next year, which include combining the two into a single session. I also think that large lots, such as this and the slot cards, should be broken into smaller units (say 100 chips per lot, mixed randomly) would have generated a much higher total.

All of that said, I was VERY happy with the lot!
