It was the first one i ever got. I knew I was a chip Junkie at that point because I coulda bought more chips from the casino cages but It taught me not to bid too high on common chips and saved me alot of money by making intelligent choices. It paid for itself. Join this club if you can, its a quirky great family and I think if you list Andy Hughes as your sponsor on the application he will give you a free real casino chip, Right Andy?? Either way enjoy the board and the hobby, its original, unique and a real piece of gambling history that isnt made in China. John R-6920
