... Mandalay Bay $5 shortly and will contact you via email about it. I can also put you in touch with my source for the $100 Bike chip (though he had a lot of trouble getting one; don't know if he'll be able to get another). I don't do Silver Strikes, so didn't include them in my list.

>> I'm not so sure the Silver Smith and Stateline, Wendover, NV,
>> $5 Paul-son "Asian 2000" would be considered Dragon chips.

H'm .... Larry Pang did not include them in his original list. I have seen only one side of one of them (the State Line chip) and don't know if they are the same on both sides. However, I included them in my list in part because of the following post:

http://www.thechipboard.com/cgi-bin/tcb/archive6.pl?read=60783

Which reads:

>> Here's two chips for trade from Stateline Casino, Wendover.
>> Would like to trade for other YOD chips. Email if interested.

I took that message, perhaps erroneously, as I now re-read the subject line, to mean that the poster (!!) considered them both Dragon chips. <g>

Also, I wasn't sure what the phrase "Asian 2000" was intended to mean, if not a reference to the "Asian" New Year which happens in "our" year 2000. Finally, I had no idea what the hell the date December 25, 1999, had to do with anything (other than perhaps the date on which the chips were issued). Maybe you or some other member of the ACC>CC <g> can help me out here. What exactly IS the connection between Christmas Day 1999 and "Asian 2000"?

>> I've got an extra State Line Asian 2000.
>> It's yours if you ever call or respond to my emails.

Damn, John, I only got them tonight!! And one of the two requires more than just a knee jerk reaction -- I actually have to give it some thought! <g> [The other, of course, is easy, but if you'd quit losing my phone number you wouldn't have to be asking for it over and over!! <G>]

Since I posted my original message, however, I've already received and accepted another offer for the State Line chip (and the Viejas set, too). Still need the Silver Smith Asian (while I ponder whether to include it as a dragon or not) and, of course, the Hollywood Park chips if they ever happen.

I will be in touch, John, on the other subject you raised by email, perhaps tomorrow. Thanks for your input here. ----- jim o\-S
