Maybe they didnt survive but if it was an actual Casino then they would have ordered more than 6, With Iraq you just never know. There maybe a suitcase full of them buried that could turn up down the road and with Ebay being an international marketplace they could "turn Up" I have found that many times when I wait it out I end up with a better specimen for less but either way the price on those great looking plaques are more than I have invested in all my Plaque purchases to date. I am mainly a Nevada Chipper but I am fond of the Plaques and really dont see too many come around but when they do I love picking them up. Sorry to hear about your Troubles, John
