Thanks so much for taking the time to share your wonderful Tahoe collection...it's fabulous! I've really enjoyed seeing the chips and pictures of the casinos . (And there's nothing wrong with repeating yourself...sometimes people miss posts, there's new collectors who haven't seen the posts, and eye-candy is just as pretty the second or third time around! )
Funny story about our Frank Sinatra's Cal Neva lighter...
It was just a few days after Sinatra passed away. We were at an antique/collectible show (at Navy Pier, I think) and George spotted this lighter. There was a $150 price tag on the lighter. After some negotiation, we ended up paying around $80 or $90 for it. Later we looked closely at the price tag, the "1" that was in front of the "50" was in a different color ink ! It was our theory that the seller had the lighter marked at $50, and the price tripled when Frank died...
Thanks again for the posts, Frank!
