Mark,
These are words you typed:
"I have others which show the same basic type things and truly are #1 of 1000."

No 666 in a set is not "Truly #1 of 1,000."
I have #162 - It is truly #162.
The number of a set is meaningless to a collector unless you have #1 or 1,000. Then its still no big deal.
The 12 days set is advertised at the top of this board for $80 and it still can be had at the issuing casino for $60.
As far as Hugo's $100 goes, the Four Queens has 2,414 of them in the cage.
Hardly a rare chip.
