eBay CHECK OUT THESE CURRENT CALIF. CHIPS eBay

Howdy There!!!! My eBay auctions ending tonight have some current chips from the casinos and cardrooms in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and the Sacramento/Stockton area. Some of the ones in he picture below are hard to find or at least not often offered on FeeBay.

The CALIFORNIA GRAND $5 chip is a reissue that hit the tables just a couple of months ago. The half-circles are smaller and the printing & map outline are thicker/bolder than the previous chips (some of which are still in use).

Both of the KELY'S CASINO chips are very difficult to get in this condition, but the owner took me into his "chip vault" and sold me a few. The Blue Chip has a $1 denomination on the reverse; it was originally purchased for Tournament use, but is now their Drop Chip. The White 25c Chip was bought by a person who wanted to hold Pan games, but they were never used.

The $1 DEL RIO CASINO chip has a small manufacturing flaw - a tiny bit of "ink" is missing on one of the spade suits (at about 7 o'clock) - otherwise there's no obvious table wear.

Again, I'm sorry that I had to raise my S/H to $1.75, but I still offer JUST 50c/chip for each additional chip. And I'll wait up to 7 days to send a combined Invoice.

Just click on the link below to look at these auctions as well as some nice Obsolete CA Card Room chips I've been listing the past few nights. Thanks - Buzz

HERE'S A COUPLE OF PICTURES I TOOK OF THE DEL RIO HOTEL AND CASINO
This one at the top shows the building with the entrance to the bar on the left, the entrance to the Hotel at the left-of-center, and the Casino entrance to the right of it.

They have 3 tables inside, and the manager & all of the locals I talked with were very friendly.
