It has now been about three months since the Opera House Relief-Effort NCV sets were released. If you are not familiar with this project, all details can be found by clicking on the link below. Please take a minute to look over this information.

The original goal of this undertaking was to raise $15,000 by selling these 150 3-chip sets and to direct 100% of all profits to charitable causes...those associated with the 9/11 terrorist attacks, other military and patriotic charities, or any charity of one's choosing.

To date, we are about half way to our goal. This is both good and bad - good, because we have raised between $7,000 and $8,000; bad, because we still have a long way to go.

To those of you that have purchased sets, your support has been sincerely appreciated. Hopefully all of you have also received the free $100 Ocean's 11 Bellagio chip graciously donated by a very supportive friend. {By the way...one of these chips recently sold on eBay for $21.50!}

I'll be posting another way of saying thanks, WITH A VERY SPECIAL CHIP OPPORTUNITY, within the next day or two. This will be the ability for any past or future purchaser of an NCV set to own what may be the scarcest $1 Nevada LE issued to date, for just $3. Ths will be a fraction of what this chip's fair market value will probably become. More details will follow soon.

If you haven't added one of hese unique sets to your collection as yet, PLEASE join those of us who have. ANY charity of your choice is welcome. If all sets are sold, approximately 90% of your donation will get to the charity you select.

Happy Easter to all. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas in just over two months.
