Went to the Arcadia show yesterday - not a single "conventional" chip to be found. I bought all on prior visits? Somebody got there on Saturday and snapped them all up?

There were some deals to be had if one wanted to look at metal all afternoon:

A little token from Bourbon Street. Calgary Stampede coin honoring the US Bicentennial (doubt they will be making more happy American coins any more). Best find of the day, in my opinion, a Paris Festival De La France medallion. What did people do there in 2000? Held snail races, maybe. Gigantuous $5 slot token from Harveys. I know they ain't making any more of those! Engraved slot token from the Sexchange Club, apparently when some official noted that the old tokens did not recite "One Dollar Gaming Token." And the casino had to engrave each one to so recite? And the tiny dark coin is a 1 Kopeck from the People's Republic, arch-villain in every Mission Impossible episode.
