for sale Underground Card Club chips for sale

I have two $5 chips from the now defunct All In Card Club. The chips have a sticker inlay, and I have not tried to clean them. I have shown the worst sides of each. The other sides are in very good condition. It's possible the darkness on the edge of the one inlay will clean off. I don't know. Anyway, the clean one is $12 and the mostly clean one vbg is $10, s&h is $1.50 to the US. First come, first serve. Please write to my e-mail, so I know who wrote first. If you post on the board and there is not a time issue, then no problem.

Here are the chips:

Here is what I know. The All In was a card club in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City and State of New York. It rose to prominence when the New York Players Club and Playstation were raided in 2005 (following some publicity for the clubs when Phil Helmuth and Alex Rodriguez were seen playing in underground clubs). I don't know if the All In operated previously, but I did not hear of it until after those raids. Many short lived clubs opened and closed in the year following the demise of the big two clubs. I have the All In opening in March 2005. At that time, many of the underground clubs were still quite relaxed about publicity, and advertised on the internet, as did the All In . The All In was raided and shut down on March 9, 2006. I don't know of any other chips from this club in collectors' hands. I tried to get a $1 chip from the seller, but she had given it away and couldn't get it back (it is now someone's "lucky" chip).

Paypal preferred, but checks are fine. grin
