Around the time Binion's Horseshoe became Binion's, Gene Trimble posted his suspicion that Becky has all of the racks in storage and they would begin to leak out. He warned that none of their chips may be hard to find by the time it's all over. I believe this has been discussed many times on this board in the years since. I believe Mr. Trimble has been proved to be correct for many Horseshoe chips. I would be wary about expensive Horseshoe chips. I don't know enough to know which have come out and which haven't, but I know I've seen Gene comment on those chocolate chips before.
Sorry if you've been burned. I would guess it has happened to most of us on some level at some time, especially with the effects of the economy and the aging of the chip collecting population.
