"This chip is almost one of a kind since it where never releast at the MGM Grand."

See below what I said about framed notched sets.

Good story.
The Paul-Son salesperson gave me copies of the artwork for all 11 chips before they were made. I could not believe it when I saw Kirk was on one of the chips. I knew the minute I saw it, his chips would never be released.

At once I started calling in favors from people I knew at the MGM. All promised to help me get one. I had the salesperson give me a 24 hour warning before they delivered the Kirk chips. I called my contacts and gave then a heads up. 3 days later, no one had any idea what happened to the delivery. They never made it to the cage. One of them gave me Kirk's personal secretary's number. Seemed like a nice lady, but after I told her what I wanted she busted out laughing so much, I thought she would bust a gut. grin It was a ROARING case of the laughs. After she calmed down she said "Good Luck with that request."

The chips were put on a private plane to Los Angeles two hours after they were delivered. The box had not been opened, just shipped. grin
And know you know the rest of the story. grin

You have a nice chip. It is very doubtful the 11 framed sets will ever come on the market.
