Hi Archie,
Thanks for the numbers, I thought it was close. The Eureka might have gone through with the 50 mountain set had they kept dealing blackjack. They also shot themselves in the foot by issuing 3 different varieties of the first 5 chips. That was going too far. As to the Lodge issuing a 50 state set. I'm not sure what to think about it. They'll be releasing them four at a time, so collectors don't have to hit the casino every week just to get a set, but a 50 chip set does look like overkill.
After all the uproar over the Lodge's GO set, can you imagine the surprise of the members of the Colorado Chapter when the guy responsible for that debacle actually joined our chapter?!?
Bob
