I just picked up this neat, attractive advertising poster for Bill Borland's "Las Vegas Commemorative Casino Chips." Copyright 1992. $79 plus actual postage. It is 8-1/2" x 11." Both sides are shown in the pictures below. Mint condition. Thick sturdy cardboard. Sealed in shrink-wrap plastic. The poster has holes for the 7 actual $5000 pie chips that are included -- just as you see it below. These are commemorative poker chips issued by Borland after the casinos closed. The dates of operation are on each chip. Obsolete and very collectible now. Sold separately, the chips (mostly scarce and desirable pie mold chips) are worth over $100 fair market value. You could frame it and save this great memorabilia from a chip collecting pioneer, Bill Borland.
Historical notes on each side of the "poster," including a short history of each casino.
