I sit at the same poker table with Skip, the former owner of Somoma Joe's (forgot his last name) at least 2 to 4 session per week. He has been reassuring me that he is going to give me a complete set of chips for my collection, as well as all I want for resale purposes.

To date, I have not received them, but will ask once again next week. If I do, in fact, get to sell these chips, I have intentions of putting them on ebay for sale to the general public. I am going to do this for him as a favor because I think I will enjoy the experience. One condition that I will make, however, is that he allows me to offer it to the COLLECTORS on this board at what I consider a nominal cost (and I think most of you that have dealt with me in the past can imagine what that will be.)

I will act as a middleman in this situation, with absolutely no compensation from either the consignor or to you.

I will post an update to this announcement as soon as I am in possession of the chips and will give you all a first opportunity for a set at a inexpenive price before they go on ebay.
