Jim I have pictures from the auction in question. It looks legit.....but I didn't think it was worth $18....so I didn't bid on it.....now kicking myself in the head. No chips but it the have the paper tip chip and the sticker on it. The packet had a staple stuck in it! I did try to reach out to the buyer but so far, no luck.

Yet another Win Card Mystery that we may never know about

I'm starting to think that some of the casinos sold the packets vs. gave them out. I've had a couple of people in the past told me that they "bought the packet" in the gift shop (There was a dealer on Ebay that told me that about the Sands LV....but I don't know if I can trust that since there are chips for the Sands).

I guess that's part of the hunt......now if anyone has a Packet from the Sands, Dunes, Tahoe Biltmore (with stickers, tip chips and cards.....I would be willing to pay $20 for them)!!!

Larry, In most cases I pay between $1.00 - $2.00 per packet....and I have bought one or two packets at the $5.00 range when I really needed them.
