As I have posted previously, the chip collection of deceased Club Member Don Zeni will be available for individual items purchase at the 2012 Convention. Prior to Don's passing (October, 2011) he had an opportunity to have his collection professionally inventoried and appraised by a highly regarded Dealer.
I will be assisting the Executor of Don's Will with the sale and distribution of the Zeni Collection and you may see me from time-to-time at Table 68 on the Bourse Floor. Please feel free to stop by and say Hi.
Don's collecting interests had started of by keeping a chip or two from the casinos he played in from time-to-time. After attending his 1st Convention at the Tropicana in 2000, he began collecting "girl" themed chips, whether they be Limited Edition or house/rack chips, and if they had a picture or image of a female (or even a girl named casino) Don was interested.
In his later years, other than having a New Issue Service provide girl chips from the Palms and the occassional Hard Rock (girl chip), he shifted his attention to Brothel (Fantasy) chips of Nevada and Australia. While those chips were not included in the appraisal, they will be available for purchase at the Convention.
As an early offering to Don's collection, I have been authorized to offer this set of 'right up Don's alley' chips released by the Riviera in 1999, with many of them being pulled by Gaming shortly after release. Often refered to as the Riviera P0rn Set, this chip-set depicts 3 P0rn Industry Stars; Nikki Tyler, Heather Hunter and Jenna Jameson.
While Don overpaid for this set I intend to put it on with an opening bid of $299 and a BIN of $370. However, I will make it availabe here for a Best Offer over $320 up until 9 pm PST tomorrow (Monday June 4th).
Note: If you wish to pay via PayPal, you will also be responsible for the added fee amount. Payments will be made to the "Estate of Don Zeni" by PayPal or by check/MO. Postage, handling and insurance will be covered by the Estate.
Bids may be posted here as a reply posts to this post, or by email to EstateofDonZeni@gmail.com. Email bids will be posted here, by me, to be valid and in the event of last minute email bidding, the auction will be extended by 10 minutes, continually until a final bid is realized.
I reserve the right to modify this auction and I am tyhe sole arbiter of any issues that may arise.
