Is that because at your age, you don't have time to wait for the projected popularity of CA chips?

Or just because at your age, you CAN'T hold your breath anymore? <g>

BTW, I agree about the Sonoma Joe's chips. Sprang for the toughest of all at the convention (the $100 North Bay Tournament Classic, which I got from Mel). As best I can tell, I am now missing only the $3 Grand Opening, three of the Labor Day chips and the $100 black tournament Unicorn. Am not sure about the SJ's Western Gambling chip -- I have one, but Eastman's book indicates there were two varieties, one with and one without serial numbering. I am also unclear on whether there were three or five chips in the 1995 Chinese New Year's set. Eastman lists only three ($1, $3 & $5, all of which I have). Jung-Pfaender CA chip guide lists a full set of five (adding the $2 and $10, neither of which I have). I got mine at SJ's, but several weeks after they were issued and may have just missed the other two, though I have never seen them offered for sale anywhere.
