My first catalog on Puerto Rico chips was published in 1999. Michael Knapp has published a book review of my latest 2005 Edition Puerto Rico Catalog in his "KNAPP ON BOOKS" report on page 87 of this year's Spring Issue of the club magazine. If you are a collector of Puerto Rico chips ... this is a "must have" reference work.
Black's PR book is also featured on Greg Susong's website.
Unlike the earlier Al Rollins Collection Catalog published in 2002 ... Black's PR Catalog lists and illustrates ALL current PR chips ... as well as obsoletes; plus roulettes, in full color with far superior scans.
Black's PR catalog is 80 pages ... similar in format as my companion Atlantic City catalog. However, the retail price estimates are below each illustration without having to turn to a separate listing page as with the A.C. book.
As with any reference catalog, it has its detractors. Some of the estimated prices are subject to differences of opinion. Unfortunately, with the influx of huge quantities of Puerto Rico chips being offered so cheap, PR chips are sometimes all painted with the same cheap brush. Nothing could be further from the truth, as veteran PR chip collectors will testify.
Price on the PR Catalog is $35 postpaid, via Priority Mail.
