A huge thanks to everyone who donated so far and looking forward to many more. Lets keep it up !!!!!

This WILL be the largest single group of personals auctioned at one time and someone will have the opportunity to have one of the best personal collections out there. Many of the chips being offered (Including some of mine) are NOT available for trade anymore.

A week or so before I leave for Vegas I will make a post on the board and start accepting bids. I will also take Proxy bids with me to vegas and am toying with the idea of even allowing phone bids.

That way everyone can bid on this great lot including those not attending the convention.

Here is a list of committed chips so far:

Doug "Cigarman" Smith (10 Chips)

So far thats a total of 200 chips from 54 chippers and I havent even heard yet from so many others. Can we make it to 250?... 300?

Any duplicates sent will be made into a second lot to either auction seperatly at the convention or on Ebay when I get back. Either way each and every chip donated will go towards benefiting the Building Fund.

Thanks again to all and please pass the word.
