I used to stop in Las Vegas on my way down from Portland to my Dad's place out of Tucson. Figured if I took a chip home, I'd have to return to cash it in, right? Second trip I kept a Luxor $5 Nefertiti that I still have (COTY '93) but that wasn't the ONE. I hooked up to the AOL Las Vegas board and one of their guys had a link to that eBay outfit in the chip category so I thought I'd check that out. Wow! Lookit that! I bought a Reno Monte Carlo Chipco Air Race from Rizzo 12/21/99 and that was chip number two. Joined the club 10 days later. Still got both the Luxor and the MC and about 1600 other beauties.
