The $5's typically fetch $25-$30 each. The $10's and $20's are usually somewhere around 4 times face. The $50's and $100's, 3 times face would be reasonable. I do know Skip had that set for sale at his table at the Palms show last November. He had the set priced at $1800. I thought that was too high, and I don't think it sold. As far as I know, the entire rack still exists and is storage somewhere at the Paris or Bally's, as is the wheel.
If I had any idea the game was ever going to be pulled from the casino floor before it happened, I could have paid off my mortgage by keeping a fraction of the jetons that passed through my hands while playing at that table!
