It sounds like you would love the world of "Illegals" As I'm sure you already know, there were many,. many illegal casinos in operation across the country.

Since you are so excited about chips, the chipboard and the good people here...please allow me to add to your good feelings.

Here's a couple of proposals for you. You may take advantage of one or both.

Offer 1. I will send you a $1.00 chip from the 1930's from the Hollywood Club, an illegal casino run by Licovoli and the mob which operated in Toledo, Ohio. I'll send this off to you now, and in return, all you need to do is try to come by the Convention in June.

Offer 2. If you join the CC/GTCC, I will send you a package of 10 casino chips from all over the USA.

I can't speak for everyone else on the chipboard, but personally, I love it when a newcomer to the board arrives with excitement.
