HARVEST STORIES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR
BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPULSIONS TO GAMBLE, SOME TO AMASS FORTUNES AND OTHER’S, WELL THEY JUST LIKE TO WRITE STORIES. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE ME. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TO WRITE, NEVER WAS VERY GOOD AT IT; BUT I HAVE DONE IT OVER THE YEARS JUST THE SAME.
EVERY WEDNESDAY I AM GOING TO ADD A HARVEST STORY TO THE PAGE OF THE DAY.
IF ANY OF YOU WANT ANY INSIDE INFORMATION ON ANY CASINO THAT I’VE BEEN TO, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW.
IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SOME UNIQUE EXPERIENCES HARVESTING, AND HAVE A STORY OR TWO, PLEASE; BY ALL MEANS SUBMIT THEM. I AM THINKING OF ADDING THESE ON THURSDAY’S POD, WITH YOUR PERMISSION AND YOU BEING ACCREDITED.
IF YOU LIKE THEM BY ALL MEANS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. REGGIE NEW STORY THIS WED.

MEMBER A or MEMBER B
HERE ARE TWO SHORT STORIES ABOUT MEMBERS OF THE CC-GTCC:
MEMBER A AT A CHIP SHOW IN BATTLE CREEK SEVERAL YEARS AGO WAS ASKING AROUND FOR A CERTAIN CHIP THAT WAS SELLING FOR $20-25. HOWEVER, I DID NOT KNOW THAT. BUT, I PROUDLY STEPPED FORWARD, AND SAID “I GOT ONE”. MEMBER A THEN LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND SAID, HOW MUCH? I SAID $5. HE SAID ARE YOU CRAZY? THAT IS WORTH MUCH MORE HANDED ME A $20 BILL, AND SAID IT IS WORTH THAT MUCH. IT STILL IS, AND I STILL HAVE A VERY GOOD TRADE RELATIONSHIP WITH MEMBER A.
I ADVERTISED A CERTAIN CHIP FOR $8, STATING I HAVE 3 OF THESE. I WAS APPROACHED BY MEMBER B, AS TO WOULD I SELL ALL THREE TO HIM. I DID NOT KNOW THAT MARLOW CHIPS AND A DEALER ELSEWHERE, HAD JUST SOLD ONE FOR $50. I THOUGHT, WELL OK. I DID IT. LATER WITHIN A WEEK I FOUND OUT WHAT I HAD DONE AND ASKED MEMBER B TO RETURN ONE TO ME AND STATED THAT HE HAD TOTALLY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME, AFTER 15-20 EMAILS HE STOOD FIRM, AND I WAS VERY DISILLUSIONED WITH MEMBER B, A PERSON I HAD TRADED WITH OVER THE LAST 8 YEARS. OBVIOUSLY, HIS BOTTOM LINE IS MONEY; NOT INTEGRITY OR FRIENDSHIP. #9 IN THE OF ETHICS OF THE CC-GTCC IS: To furnish requested advice to the best of my ability and knowledge, and not to take advantage of superior knowledge on my part to the disadvantage of a less knowledgeable collector.
THESE TWO STORIES ARE BOTH TRUE.
MY QUESTION TO YOU, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO BE A FRIEND AND MAINTAIN A TRADE RELATIONSHIP WITH? REGGIE
