Heard from my friends with the WA. new issue service, Dave and Carol Wendleton http://www.wimpyschips.com/ that the nearby New Phoenix cardroom had a new rack! Finally got free from work and headed up there to check it out and pick up some traders for tomorrow's PNW chippers meet. Well...here they are:

I just gotta say I'm disappointed. They had some pretty dynamic chips up to this point. These new things are unreadable w/o a glass and even after only a month are getting pretty scarred up. A nose-dive in quality for these new Chipcos. The last issue $100 was a beautiful chip to my eye. Here's the last rack: I was sitting at a great table, was winning, convivial fellows and a great dealer. My stack was growing with the odd bustout to keep me from getting too giddy. Had to head out though and was surprised to get the black chip, usually tough to get from this outfit. BTW, in Washington, you cannot buy chips at the cage, only from the tables ... my favorite way to acquire chips anyway! Way crowded and the table limits were steadily climbing, luckily the area has a couple of Big Indian joints on the way.
