MGM - Chip Auction or Retail Sales?

Got this nifty chip on eBay the other day. The seller I take to be an antiques dealer rather than a chip guy judging by his auction ware. In his description of this chip he stated that it came from an estate lot and this chip had been bought at an "MGM auction". Never heard of such a thing, have you? Looks like a sku sticker on it so I'm wondering if MGM had chips for sale in their gift shop or something. Anyone got any info on an MGM connection with classic old Vegas chippery?

Dang it, when I got the chip, the shrinkwrap and sticker were gone and the chip had been removed from the flip and replaced. Apparently, according to the seller, an employee removed it from it's provenance because someone wanted to see if it would stand on edge! Sheesh. Beautiful chip in about 12 different ways and oh yeah, does it do tricks too? vbg Rebuked the seller and he was quite contrite, good deal and a good guy.
