h1]A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

SAN RAFAEL CLUB (881 CLUB) SAN RAFAEL, CA

J Eric Freedner


Hi, Reggie,

Here is another chipping story, all true of course!

I had heard that it was difficult to buy a chip from the San Rafael Club in San Rafael; it was a small cardroom, limited hours, and management did not favor selling to collectors. Still, toward the end of one of my chip trips to the Petaluma area several years ago, I decided to give it a try. I had gotten the club address before starting my trip, which is fortunate because the 881 Club is not at number 881 on any street any more. My internet search led me to a brief history of the club, started by Pete Pellolio years ago.

Upon entering the building, I paused in the foyer between the bar and the cardroom to look at a portrait on the wall. Unexpectedly, a man came to the cardroom doorway and asked, "May I help you?"

"Is this Pete?" I said somewhat absent-mindedly, pointing to the portrait. "Yes," he replied, "Did you know Pete?"

"No," I replied, "but I heard he had started the club years ago, and kept the business going for many years, and was respected in the community."

"Want to play some cards?" the man asked.

"Actually, no; I was wondering if I could just buy a few chips, I collect them."

The man gave a non-committal look and then smiled. "We have a strict policy, no sales to collectors. But since you spoke so highly of my father, I can sell you a few."

My visit ended with a hearty handshake and a smile from the new owner, and his invitation to "come back any time." And a few of the elusive Club San Rafael chips in my pocket.

Sometimes, it pays to admire the artwork.

Don't have time to drive up to San Rafael to see Pete's portrait? I didn't know this chip existed at the time, but you can view it here: ChipGuide # CG 023545.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

GREAT CANADIAN CASINO VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

THIS TRIP WAS WITH KEN, MY SON; WE HAD ALREADY BEEN TO DEADWOOD, MONTANA AND PARTS OF WASHINGTON. THE DAY DID NOT START OUT VERY GOOD, WE GOT HELD UP BY A SWING BRIDGE, THAT LET SEVERAL SHIPS THROUGH A CHANNEL 50 MILES SOUTH OF PORT ANGELES. THIS CAUSED US TO MISS THE FERRY TO VICTORIA. ANOTHER 3 HOUR WAIT WAS THE RESULT OF THE PREVIOUS WAIT AT THE BRIDGE.
WE FINALLY MADE IT OVER TO VICTORIA TO ENJOY ALL THAT VICTORIA HAD TO OFFER; THAT WE HAD TIME FOR. IT IS REALLY A VERY SPECIAL CITY TO VISIT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO GO ON YOUR NEXT VACATION.
KEN AND I NEEDED A LONG BREAK AFTER WALKING ALL OVER THE BUTCHART GARDENS. THE HARVEST WAS REALATIVELY EASY TO MAKE, IF YOU WERE WILLING TO BUY CHIPS FROM A BLACK JACK TABLE AND PLAY A FEW HANDS. THE TRICKY PART IS THAT ALL OF THE CHIPS HAVE DATE #’S ON THEM. I WAS TRYING TO GET 5 OF EACH NUMBER, SO I WOULD BUY CHIPS PLAY A HAND OR TWO, THEN GO CHECK THEM OUT SOME WHERE AWAY FROM THE EYES OF THE PIT BOSSES, CASH THE ONES NOT NEEDED, AND DO IT OVER AGAIN. I NEVER DID GET ENOUGH OF SOME DATES ON THE CHIPS. THERE WAS A CAFÉ ATTACHED TO THE CASINO, WHERE KEN WAS RELAXING THAT I EVENTUALLY BROUGHT MY TREASURES FOR HIM TO HOLD ON TO UNTIL I WAS DONE. THE CHEF, WHO OWNED THE FRANCHISE WAS FASCINATED WITH WHAT I WAS DOING SO I GAVE HIM THE SHORT VERSION OF HOW MUCH FUN CHIP COLLECTING IS. NEVER DID GET ALL I NEEDED FROM THIS CASINO
.…REGGIE - PS this casino is now the View Royal.

A PAIR TO DRAW TO

I am always trying to put things together that have some semblance of balance. Of course, that will always be in the eye of the beholder. Some of these may attract you the collector a little or a lot, no matter which way it attracts, please know I am always trying to help you out, with items you want at price that is fair. For now, I am going to do them every week, but as an unscheduled surprise feature…Thanks for looking. Reggie

If you have some ideas about compatible pairs please send them in to me. If it is possible and I happen to have the two, they will be put on the docket...reg

BUY, SELL & TRADE


MANY OF YOU PROBABLY WONDERED IF I WAS A DEALER. THAT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT I AM WHEN IT COMES TO “CHIPPIN”.
I WOULD HAVE GONE BANKRUPT THE FIRST YEAR I WENT ON THE CHIPBOARD; AND EACH EVERY YEAR THAT FOLLOWED.
MANY YEARS AGO IN THE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY, I LEARNED THE FINE ART OF “BUY, SELL & TRADE”. ONCE I MADE THE PLUNGE IN 1995 TO BE A CHIP COLLECTOR, I REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE HOBBY OF CHIP COLLECTING WITH OUT SUPPLEMENTING IT WITH SOME SALES AND TRADES.
SO, SOMEWHERE AROUND 1996 I DISCOVERED THE CHIP BOARD, THE BLOG BOARD THAT GREG SUSONG SO CAREFULLY ORGANIZED AND PUT TOGETHER FOR US NOVICE COLLECTORS TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. I IMMEDIATELY SOUGHT OUT THOSE THAT WERE WILLING TO TRADE, AND THAT SEEMED TO WORK VERY WELL FOR ME.
I ALSO REALIZED WHEN TRAVELING I NEEDED TO BUY MORE THAN ONE CHIP TO INCREASE MY TRADER INVENTORY. THE REST OF THE STORY HAS BEEN RECORDED ON THE CHIP BOARD. BTW, MOST CHIP DEALERS WON’T CONSIDER TRADING. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME THAT DO, AND THEY GET BOTH MY TRADES & CASH.
I REALIZE HOW HARD IT IS TO GET STARTED ON A LIMITED BUDGET, AND BEING A BLUE COLLAR WORKER MUCH OF MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER HAD A LOT OF MONEY TO POUR INTO MY COLLECTION, SO I IMPROVISED BY, TRADING AND SELLING.
IF ANY ONE IS INTERESTED AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HOW I WENT FROM 100 CHIPS TO OVER 10,000 IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCES AND THOUGHTS.
SINCERELY YOUR TRADER FRIEND, REGGIE

SET OF THE DAY

MANY YEARS AGO I STARTED MY POSTING, BY POSTING “A SET OF THE DAY” I THINK I HAD ABOUT 300-400 SETS ALL TOGETHER. THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN BACK THEN. AND WHEN I STARTED DOING “A PAGE A DAY” I INCLUDED BETTER SETS AS A CATEGORY.
BUT NOW; RATHER THAN HAVING MY BETTER SETS CATEGORY, I WILL START HAVING A REGULAR SET OF THE DAY WITH MY OTHER FEATURES WHEN I DISPLAY A “PAGE OF THE DAY”.
I AM REDUCING PRICES ON MOST OF THESE SETS, SOME WILL BE FACE VALUE, SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND WANT, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN SENDING ME AN EMAIL, PUTTING A SOLD SIGN ON THE CB IS NOT THE WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PURCHASE OR TRADE. SEE POD FOR P/H RATES. SEND ME AN EMAIL FOR ORDERS OR QUESTIONS…Reggie

MY COLLECTION LIBRARY WEB SITE

HOME OF 4500 TRADERS

Starting 2016, I have listed everything I have (all of my excel inventory +) on the collection library trader/for sale. Of course, many of you did not know that my previous listings were items I had more than one of. Now, everything; even the ones I only have 1 (one) of will be listed. Please know; none of these are from my personal collection. One more important point while searching for chips on my CL site; there are two settings for viewing my chips. One is a simply a long, long list of pictures and descriptions. Two is by Country/City/State/Casino alphabetical. You may request to change this at any time. And when you do I will leave it on that setting for a couple of days, or whatever you request within reason, before I change to help another chipper’s request.
Follow This Collection Library Link To Approximately +/- 4500 Trader Chips >>>: http://www.collectionlibrary.com/Index.asp?EvApp=mls.5117&sPageName=MyTraders
This will cause more work for me, and along with that will be the possibility of more errors, and chances for items to slip through the cracks. So, I apologize in advance for the times I do not clear off a listing after it has been sold. Also, on the other side of coin, there will be times I will find a very nice item that I had forgot to put on the “Collection Library” when I first got it. And now I am listing it just when you started looking for it.
*On the subject of trading, please know: When you spot something on my CL Trader/For Sale list that you really want, I need to get something that I can put into my collection, also; or it will be a cash sale. Because, to take in trade something I will in turn have to sell, (that is already in my collection) requires me to work twice as hard to complete the original transaction.
The total amount of chips listed on this site as traders and for sale are approximately 4500. This of course will fluctuate up and down, however this number should afford most collectors looking for a piece to put in their collection at least an opportunity to see a few chips not often offered.
Thanks for taking your time to read over this post, Reggie
