I am sure that Gene can provide all the details about these chips, but here is what I know.
George Maloof had these chips made and then had 11 of them nicely framed. He hand signed a message on each set and presented them to all day 1 employees...those that had been with him since the beginning of the Palms. A very nice gesture in my opinion, especially considering that this all happened while the ownership structure of the Palms was simultaneously changing.
A cage employee told me today that to their knowledge, about a half a dozen sets were removed from the frame and cashed in.
Eight different chips are pictured above as well as one duplicate. These were the only ones in the cage this morning.
I am offering these for $15 each plus $2 USPS first class domestic shipping. Shipping $2 no matter how many you purchase. First come first served.
Please let me know if you are interested.
