Seriously, if you can glue together pieces into something that is recognizable as a real $1000 chip, somebody will buy it. Just another kind of "cancelled" chip [g].

Who knows what it might sell for but probably enough to make it worth your while. If a notched $25000 Venetian sells for several hundred, you might get $30-50 for your jigsaw chip.

Something else I've wondered about is the market for 'pictures' of high value chips. If you were an Orleans collector and have their chips up through the $100 denom, would you be interested in color full-size scans of the other high-denomination chips so you could put them in holders in your collection? I don't know of anyone who has done this but there might be a market for such.
