Re: TR KING Truman Chip Samples? USA

Smitty,

I have two of the presidential chips (shown below). The chips are the same on both sides. I purchased them in 2003 from the collection of a well known chipper. My notes on my PC state that they are from the Truman set, although my memory thinks they are from the Eisenhower set. I may have changed the note in my computer when the Truman set information surfaced a couple of years ago. The information on my purchase as well as more info on the chips is semi-public. Do some research and you may find it, but I'm not going to post it.

I do have documention on them, as well as TR King documentation on the quantities made (I think it's from TRK, but I'm not positive). The written docs are all in storage and, honestly, I have no idea where they are. I currently have three store rooms full of stuff. I've just started designing a 600 sq ft addition on to my house that will become my casino room. Once completed, I may actually get all of my goodies unpacked and find some great stuff!

On April 1st a few years ago, I posted a similar scan of the chips on thechipboard as an April Fool's Day joke, along with a story of me playing poker with President Bush at his ranch in Crawford. I can't recall the year, but you can do the search if you want. I also spoke with Black Bart, or whoever it was, a few years ago that was trying to sell some or was doing some kind of research - again, I don't recall.

I've posted more info than I usually care to post, but I hate to see someone make a post with a legitimate question and get side-tracked. To answer your question, it looks like there are at least two white ones out there. And my other one is more dark pink then red. I hope this helps.
