Thanks once again to everyone who has donated to this great project. I have scanned all the chips I have so far so that bidding can begin and I will add pictures of the new chips every week.

In the following scans you will see some great chips including some very special. Many people sent me thier last chips so there are no more to be had. Special chips include but are not limited to the following:

Doug "Cigarman" Smith - Set 5 Splashbar 2005 Numbered set #23. There were only a total of 10 complete sets given out and the rest remain in singles. I ran out of Gold and Silver traders nearly a year ago.

Doug "Cigarman" Smith - Set of 5 Splashbar 2006 Numbered 1 or 1. This year I numbered only 1 set and donated it to this auction.

Ron Lammer - Set of 6 Fantasy chips limited to 25

Rich Hannover - Set of 5 Crest and Seal "House of Hannover"

Dwain Ryan - Set of 5 foil inlays. There were only 10 of each of these sets produced and 2 sets were broken up for trades so a maximum of 8 sets are possible. This maker no longer produces chips.

Dick Allard & Sam Heppler Brass Core chips - The ultimate in Rare personals, these prototypes are the only ones that exist. They are full heavy brass core chips and the scans dont do them justice.

Tom M "The Busdriver" - 2 colors of the Sopranos chips. These were VERY limited in production and VERY few chippers own one.

Mike Austin Racing chips - Donated by Debby Miester these are some very difficult chips to obtain and missing from most collections.

Greg Bryson - Most know the story here and few have these chips in thier collection. Donated by Dwain Ryan

Building Fund - Fish'n for Funds - These limited chips are normally only agailable with a Building Fund donation.

Tom M "The Busdriver" - Voodo Personal Chip Keychain which is one of only 2 made.....

I am sure there are many more scarce Items that I have missed as well.

Please remember, all chips will be housed in 4 beautiful 99 count frames donated by Tiny Treasures and Mike Quinlivan.

I will take bids here on the board for the next month and we will use that as the opening bid in Vegas. Bidding will close on the second day of the convention (Friday) @ 3:00 PM. I will be happy to make proxy bids for any not going to the convention much like on Ebay. I will also consider giving my cell number to those most interested and will bid for them at the convention.

LET THE BIDDING BEGIN !!!!!!!!!!!!
