Any interest in this Cuban chip?: American Club

I can buy 29 of these chips -- all in blue. What would you pay for all 29? For one? Nice chips but maybe all who would want them, have them already. I was once told that they are from the Andaluz Club in Cuba, but Luis Alvarez and the Caribbean Chip Club site ( http://www.caribbeanchipguide.com/chip2.php?primarykey=CUBAC&sort=type ) say Club Americano or American Club, Cuba. They can't be traced to the US Playing Card Co records, though that company surely made them, what with the style and quality of the chips and those two small holes in the top chip -- used to fasten the chips to a box or page by USPC Co.

(Too bad they aren't Agua Caliente chips. They sure look like chips from that place. ( http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/AguaCalienteChips.htm )
