now that was the answer I was looking for . I guess it might help if you were "known" (in the good way) by a casino rather than Joe Bob off the street "finds" 10 grand in chips in a limo and wants his money. I'm also assuming there are casinos that are Club friendly and would maybe loan a chip to someone for a scan for historical reference maybe??? Or is it a cash sale only. Thanks for the info Spragg. cd
