New Illegal club chip and UFC identification book

Well, book may be a slight exageration. If you have a small or medium sized illegal club chip collection then this may be invaluable to you. Let me start at the beginning. First I want to thank Gene, Steve Goodrich, Allan and numerous others for all of the information that they have freely provided over the last several years on UFC identifications. I have been recording most of these and using them to attribute UFC's in my collection. Last Christmas I was geting ready to reprint "books" of my collection so that I would not buy duplicates at the convention again this year. The previous years four books took most of my free time for about two weeks to scan and print all of the chips. My collection was just getting too large to continue this way and printer cartridges were driving the cost way up. So instead I made a complete list of all of my UFC and identified club chips. I did this on an EXCEL spreadsheet but did not include scans. Inclded are the chip monogram or name, denomination, color, mold type and identity if known. Quick and simple. I find this guide invaluable when I am at chip shows, looking for deals on Ebay or corresponding by e-mail. I can quickly check out any chip and determine if it has been identified or not.

Here is the deal: You send me a nice $5 chip (LE's are nice) and I will e-mail you the 40 page book. Now here are the cavaets:
1. Keep in mind that while there are over 2500 listings that this is not all inclusive. It is a list of MY chips.
2. I don't collect California chips but I do consider most of them to be illegals. The UFC's that I have picked up from CA are included.
3. Of course the attributions are not guaranteed but the best information I have.
4. The file is about 250K and will take a while to download. You need a program that will accept EXCEL (.xls) files.
5. Remember that since this is an EXCEL file you can add your chips or other identifications to it. It is set up to sort by name, location and mold.
6. Some chips, like Crest and Seals and Chinese character chips, are impossible to describe so they are not included.

If nothing else this is a good opportunity to see what someone else has in their collection and how the chips are attributed. So if you are interested e-mail me.
