Very nice post by Robert Pardue: http://www.thechipboard.com/cgi-bin/tcb/tcb.pl?read=180280 in reply to Jim Follis' query for his project. Got me to diggin' out my oldest and favoritest Chipcos and found I had a '90 Bally's piece same year as the Harrah's sailboat COTY. Not as purty as the winner but not as numerous either.

Would be interested to know when the San Juan Chipco was issued, 1990 also? Hopefully someone can post a pic of this drop-dead georgous chip.

My scan shows some '91 Chipco's and the '90 Reno Air Race chip. Any other '90-'91's that put Chipco in the picture? Your favorite old Chipco? I guess the Chipco $5 Luxor was the first chip I collected on my first vacation trip to Las Vegas. Thought if I took it home, I'd have to return to cash it in one day...still have it, of course, and still returning to LV too!

And oh yeah, what's a Havana's New Year? It's listed as a '91 but was it issued 1/1/91 or some other time and wouldn't it be about a year older than the Aladdin NYE '91 or is Havana NY some other date?
