Hello Chuck,

I got this lucite sometimes in 1995 or before I started collecting. I did not know at that time what to collect I bought this piece as a paper weight while I was at Stockston State College, NJ. I remember seeing tickets but did not buy them -"worthless tickets" I thought. I found this piece in Egg Harbor Township. I started collecting in April 22, 2000 - buying 40 $1 chips from each casino in the Strip and a friend of mine met us in Las Vegas with 600 $1 from CA - he was the Pit Boss of Varona Casino.

What a tease, huh.
