INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
It has come to my attention over the years, that there are several chip dealers and collector/traders that will not ship overseas. Of course, that is a personal call.
I do not mind shipping overseas-internationally. I do it out of courtesy to our international members and our international chippers, whether they are CC-GTCC members or not.
There are some things in my International shipping policy that you should know, and I will list them below:
• I will only ship to customers with pay pal accounts, or are willing to send cash safely through the mail* (*Please note; chips will not be sent until funds have been received by me.)
• When sending pay pal payment; please only USD (American Funds)
• I will only ship chips, other items such as dice, match books, or anything else that is NOT a chip, I will not ship; please do not even ask.
• You should understand even though I quote postage/handling rates in my order instructions, that international shipping could be a substantial amount more. I will endeavor to get as close to an exact postage quote from the USPS web site prior to mailing. Should I be incorrect on my figures I will issue a credit slip to you on your next order or ask for a balance to be added to my pay pal account.
• The newest information in reference to international mailings recently divulged to me by the USPS is that using bubble mailers will triple your cost; if it is not a uniform thickness and it is not flexible (is rigid and does not bend). Using a #10 envelope and corrugated paper with a maximum thickness of ¼ “, up to 5 chips can be mailed.
• Since, there is a special postal customs form that needs to be filled out, for each package(bubble mailer), you should know it always takes longer to mail a package internationally; (up to an hour) and you are required to go physically to a United States Post Office.
• As you can see it takes more time, and sometimes it requires more expense to do this, please know I do it out of love of our hobby. And I do not charge extra for the handling. Please always, make sure that your name and address is spelled correctly and the spaces between names and address (streets & avenues) are correct.
Thank you for reading this and I hope this makes it easier for us to communicate, ship and receive packages of those little round treasures we all so dearly love. Sincerely, Reggie

Have an interesting gathering story that I'll pass on to you.
Was on a trip through PA recently cashing in and gathering. The PENNSYLVANIA CASINO (Made up name) has a $3.00 drop chip that they told me several times in the past they could not let out. In fact, they told me that dealers/floors/cashiers had been fired for doing it (kind of severe but ....).
But I figured I had nothing to lose by trying!
I started with the floor and was told that the chips were not being used anymore and he saw no reason they couldn't be sold. After all, they were just sitting in the vault. I then went to the cashier and told her what happened. She asked the floor and he again said he saw no reason not to let one out. The cashier then called her boss who agreed that she could sell me the chip. I made it obvious that I was going to give her $10.00 for the chip so she went and got one. As we were completing the transaction, another cashier went by behind her and said that people had been fired for selling them in the past. I tried to explain that the firings happened when the chips were being used but they're just not being used anymore, that the floor and her boss agreed the chip could be sold, yadda, yadda, yadda.
The cashier pulled back the chip and said she just couldn't take the chance at being fired. She was all apologies (sincerely).
If you do include this story in your POD some Friday, please change the casino name to something totally fictitious "to protect the innocent". Don't know who reads the Chipguide and I really don't want to get anyone in trouble at this casino.
This is a chip I would like to acquire through trade or purchase please email if you have one available or know someone who has one available. Even if you do not have the denomination or mold shown, you should know that it is possible that I may need other denominations or molds from this casino. Please email me with any items that you would like to sell or trade. Please make your request for trade and the price you would like for this item. Thanks, Reggie

THE CASINO CLUB IS ON A STREET THAT RUNS PARALLEL WITH THE I-5 FREEWAY, THAT RUNS THROUGH REDDING CALIFORNIA. AT THE TIME I STOPPED IN THERE, I WAS DRIVING MY EXPEDITION AND I BELIEVE I WAS HEADED UP TO MONTANA FOR A FAMILY REUNION. IT WAS IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND AFTER LOOKING FOR THE BRICK AND MORTAR BUILDING CALLED THE CASINO CLUB FOR A WHILE I DECIDED TO STOP AT A GAS STATION (NO GPS) AND GET DIRECTIONS.
ONE OF THE DEALERS AT MY FAVORITE HANG OUT IN OCEANSIDE AT OCEANS ELEVEN ASKED ME TO SAY HI TO EVERYONE AFTER HE LEARNED THAT I WOULD BE STOPPING THERE TO GRAB A FEW CHIPS. THIS IS WHERE LONNIE HAD LEARNED HIS CRAFT WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER. NOW I HEAR THAT HE IS A SHIFT FLOOR MANAGER AT OCEANS ELEVEN.
THERE WAS A COUPLE OF TABLES OPEN AND GOING STRONG ALREADY, ONE OF THEM APPEARED TO BE ONE OF THOSE ALL NIGHTER TYPE TABLES.
THEIR CHIPS WERE A MIXTURE OF WAFER THIN H/C’s AND THE NEW BJ CHIPS. AND THEY STILL HAD A FEW COMMEMORATIVES IN THE $5 RACKS. I DID GET SOME HELP LOOKING BY THE CASHIER. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR I HAD ENOUGH OF WHAT I WANTED, MOSTLY THE BJ CHIPS BECAUSE THERE WERE RELATIVELY NEW AT THIS TIME WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND 2005.
I DID NOT GET ENOUGH OF THE H/C’S; BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT WORTH COLLECTING, NEITHER $5, $1 OR THE 50c CHIPS. I DID GET ENOUGH OF THE BJ $1 PINK CHIPS AND ABOUT 4 OF THE $5 COMMEMORATIVES. I TIPPED THE CASHIER AND ASKED THE FASTEST WAY TO THE FREEWAY GOING NORTH AND HEADED TOWARDS CANYONVILLE MY NEXT HARVEST…REGGIE
I am always trying to put things together that have some semblance of balance. Of course, that will always be in the eye of the beholder. Some of these may attract you the collector a little or a lot, no matter which way it attracts, please know I am always trying to help you out, with items you want at price that is fair. For now, I am going to do them every week, but as an unscheduled surprise feature…Thanks for looking. Reggie
If you have some ideas about compatible pairs please send them in to me. If it is possible and I happen to have the two, they will be put on the docket...reg

Starting in January 2016, I have listed everything I have (all of my excel inventory +) on the collection library trader/for sale. Of course, many of you did not know that my previous listings were items I had more than one of. Now, everything; even the ones I only have 1 (one) of will be listed. Please know; none of these are from my personal collection. One more important point while searching for chips on my CL site; there are two settings for viewing my chips. One is a simply a long, long list of pictures and descriptions. Two is by Country/City/State/Casino alphabetical. You may request to change this at any time. And when you do I will leave it on that setting for a couple of days, or whatever you request within reason, before I change to help another chipper’s request.
Follow This Collection Library Link To Approximately +/- 4500 Trader Chips >>>: http://www.collectionlibrary.com/Index.asp?EvApp=mls.5117&sPageName=MyTraders
This will cause more work for me, and along with that will be the possibility of more errors, and chances for items to slip through the cracks. So, I apologize in advance for the times I do not clear off a listing after it has been sold. Also, on the other side of coin, there will be times I will find a very nice item that I had forgot to put on the “Collection Library” when I first got it. And now I am listing it just when you started looking for it.
*On the subject of trading, please know: When you spot something on my CL Trader/For Sale list that you really want, I need to get something that I can put into my collection, also; or it will be a cash sale. Because, to take in trade something I will in turn have to sell, (that is already in my collection) requires me to work twice as hard to complete the original transaction.
The total amount of chips listed on this site as traders and for sale are approximately 4500. This of course will fluctuate up and down, however this number should afford most collectors looking for a piece to put in their collection at least an opportunity to see a few chips not often offered.
Thanks for taking your time to read over this post, Reggie
*Please read thoroughly
