...both of Gene's chips would still rate as "very rare". I concur that they were either samples or "give-aways" to some VIP. They haven't surfaced in the group of original chips that came from the cage when they were "cleaning out" a couple years ago in order to re-open the casino. Some of the previously rare Lummi chips are now a little more plentiful, which is a good thing as they had been missing from many collection.
