…Back in early 1996 I was running a Pool Tournament 🎱 at the Rum Runner, here in Las Vegas. A dealer friend of mine came in to sweat her brother’s match. He too was a long time friend of mine. I told her I had started to collect casino chips. She said she had a bag of chips from the Las Vegas Club. She had them for years, she used them before she got her first dealing job, she would practice with them.

So she heads home 🏡 & comes back with a bag that had about 100 of the chip shown here. 😳 A lot of them were in rough shape, but about 20 or so were like this one. She just gave them to me. Being a new collector I was thrilled. 😊
