THE MONTE’S CLUB CHIP EXPERIENCE:
POSTED ON THE CHIP BOARD

Date: 7/19/14 11:43 am

Hello Chippers!!
I had a most exciting morning!!! I stopped at a garage sale this am in Fernley, NV - 30 miles east of Reno. As I entered the sale I heard a woman say, "how much are the casino chips? The response was, "$20.00".
I had to investigate. I approached the buyer and new owner and asked to view the chips in the box she was holding. She had about 80 of the chips. I asked if she would like to sell the entire box for $50.00 and she said, "NOT FOR SALE". At that point, I started to beg for the purchase of just one - she agreed and sold me ONE for a reasonable price. I returned to the sale person and asked about the box of chips. She told me the daughter of the man who owned and ran the small bar, Monte's Club in Winnemucca, NV, had found the box of chips in her father’s home after he had passed away. She stated she thought the bar was operated during the 1940's but didn't seem certain.
I couldn't wait to get to my car and look the chip up in the Chip Rack - Not there. Had to get home to see if the chip was listed in the CHIP GUIDE. Yes, thanks to Eric Rosenblum CG 061911, it was there.
Since then, I have not wavered in my promise to chippers in our club. I only release 12 Monte’s per year and each year, the price increases by $10.
Stop by table 79 and visit the incredible Monte’s chip! Sale price this year is $140.00. Previous purchasers can buy one at the price they originally paid.

See all of you at table 79 for a view of the Monte’s and don’t forget to pick up your free drawing ticket ….good for a Montes chip or $50 in cash. Drawing will be Saturday at noon. Need not be present to win!

Enjoy the convention! Have Fun!!
