i WISH... (STORY FOLLOWS)

I would love to own it but have nothing to trade that you don't already have. I was told years ago that the Packet was a "fake" chip but it looked then and looks now as being old. A story: I came back from our annual Cape Cod vacation on a Saturday in August. The local big outdoor show at Bouckvile was on--last day: Sunday. I got out there and it started to rain so I was running by tents, shouting "buying poker chips!"--a dealer hailed me and showed an old ivory chip marked with a ship's name (I've forgotten the name); $40! I had spent all but $20; offered my check which he declined. So I headed for an ATM (not easy to find in rural NY on a Sunday); finally found one; headed back; raining hard; the dealer had packed up and gone. No chip sad That was as close to a Mississippi river Ivory that I could afford as I ever got sad
