Hello to all CC & GTCC members-

I was recently thinking about my chioce for the 2001 chip of the year. It is a tough decision condidering all the great chips that were released last year. I am partial to California chips. So, I looked high and low at all the California chips.

But, then I realized that any casino that put out a chip that caused a tremendous buzz and continues to cause a buzz desrves the award. Especially, since it commemerates our hobby.The Hard Rock NCV takes the prize!

I think we should all give this chip serious consideration. There are a lot of HR collectors. There are a lot of HR chips. But, the HR NCV is in a class by itself.
