MGM Boxing Chips.....Peter McNeeley??

I received the following e-mail from a potential buyer of one of my eBay auctions. Do any of you Chipper/Boxing Fans have any insight as to any other Peter McNeeley chips other than the $100??

Vegas Dan,

While I'm not quite sure I can afford it, this Tyson vs. McNeeley casino
chip would make a great gift for a good buddy of mine: Peter McNeeley.
I saw a couple of these on eBay a while back and I asked Peter about
them. Not only does he not have any of the chips, he didn't even know
they were ever issued.

I e-mailed a guy who was selling other Tyson chips to inquire just what
was available from Tyson-McNeeley. He thought there was also a $10 chip
with Pete on one side/Tyson on the other and a $25 chip with Tyson
only. Do you know if the $10 chip really exists? I've never seen any
reference to it on eBay or anywhere else.

While this would definitely be saved as a keepsake, it is a real chip
that could be redeemed at the MGM casino for $100, right? Do they
expire at any point? I assume this is similar to a rare coin that
appreciates in value.

I find it interesting that Pete's last name is spelled incorrectly on
the chip: there should be 3 E's. This happens to him a lot!

Like I said, it would be real cool to get this. My girlfriend just got
a new car and I'm having body work done on mine, so finances are kind of
tight right now. Still, if the price stays low, I may very well take a
stab at winning it. Pete's birthday is coming up in October. This is
about 3X what I'd normally spend, but what a helluva gift it would make.

I'd really appreciate an answer to my questions. Thank you very much
for your help.

Dan Lewis
