Hi, Reggie,
Here is another chipping story, all true of course!
I had heard that it was difficult to buy a chip from the San Rafael Club in San Rafael; it was a small cardroom, limited hours, and management did not favor selling to collectors. Still, toward the end of one of my chip trips to the Petaluma area several years ago, I decided to give it a try. I had gotten the club address before starting my trip, which is fortunate because the 881 Club is not at number 881 on any street any more. My internet search led me to a brief history of the club, started by Pete Pellolio years ago.
Upon entering the building, I paused in the foyer between the bar and the cardroom to look at a portrait on the wall. Unexpectedly, a man came to the cardroom doorway and asked, "May I help you?"
"Is this Pete?" I said somewhat absent-mindedly, pointing to the portrait. "Yes," he replied, "Did you know Pete?"
"No," I replied, "but I heard he had started the club years ago, and kept the business going for many years, and was respected in the community."
"Want to play some cards?" the man asked.
"Actually, no; I was wondering if I could just buy a few chips, I collect them."
The man gave a non-committal look and then smiled. "We have a strict policy, no sales to collectors. But since you spoke so highly of my father, I can sell you a few."
My visit ended with a hearty handshake and a smile from the new owner, and his invitation to "come back any time." And a few of the elusive Club San Rafael chips in my pocket.
Sometimes, it pays to admire the artwork.
Don't have time to drive up to San Rafael to see Pete's portrait? I didn't know this chip existed at the time, but you can view it here: ChipGuide # CG 023545.

ON ONE OF MY MANY TRIPS TO MONTANA OVER THE YEARS, NANCY AND I STOPPED AT THE LITTLE BIG HORN CASINO ON THE WAY TO BILLINGS, MT. THIS CASINO WAS JUST OVER THE WYOMING-MONTANA BORDER, IN THE LITTLE INDIAN TOWN OF CROW AGENCY.
WHEN WE WALKED IN THERE; IT LOOKED BAD, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. NANCY LOOKED AT ME AND I LOOKED AT HER, AND I SAID DO YOU WANT TO GO BEFORE I FIGURED OUT HOW TO HARVEST? SHE SAID NO, WE CAN STAY A LITTLE WHILE I SEE SOME OLD MACHINES THAT I USED TO LOVE TO PLAY. I SAID OK AND ASKED THE CASHIER WHERE THE POKER ROOM WAS. SHE DIRECTED ME TO A STAIRWAY AND SAID UP THERE.
I WALKED UP THE STAIRS AND THERE WAS A BIG INDIAN MAN AT HEAD OF THE TABLE AND HE SAID ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A GAME? AND THERE WAS ONE OTHER INDIAN MAN THAT LOOKED LIKE HE COULD HAVE BEEN IMPLICATED IN THE LAST STAND THAT OCURRED A FEW MILES AWAY. I SAID NO, THAT I WAS LOOKING TO BUY SOME CHIPS FOR MY COLLECTION, HE SAID JUST GO TO THE CASHIERS CAGE, THEY WILL FIX YOU UP. I WAS VERY GRATEFUL TO GET THAT INFO AND WENT AND BOUGHT MY CHIPS AND QUICKLY GRABBED NANCY ON THE WAY OUT.
I GOTTA SAY THAT WAS ONE OF THE MORE STRESSFUL HARVESTS; BUT, SUCCESSFUL. AND YES I DID BUY ENOUGH AT THIS CASINO. …REGGIE http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=MTCALB

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
Add one dollar for shipping, unless you have a hold service with me

FOLKS THIS IS THE YEAR (2017)THAT I AM BEGINNING TO FORCE MYSELF TO SELL, TRADE OR GIVE AWAY ALL OF MY EXCESS DUPLICATE CHIPS. AND AFTER I GET THE EXCESS DOWN TO MANAGEABLE SIZE; THEN I WILL BE READY TO START SLOWLY LIQUIDATING MY COLLECTION. (2018 OR MORE LIKELY 2019)
IF YOU FREQUENT THE CHIPBOARD YOU WILL SEE MY MANY EFFORTS OF DOWNSIZING. THESE ARE SOME OF MY WAYS OF PRESENTING MY CHIPS FOR SALE OR TRADE: PAGES OF THE DAY, PICK SIX, CLAY TREASURES, VERY-VERY CHEAP CHIPS, SETS OF CHIPS, FEATURE CHIPS, “A PAIR TO DRAW TO”, AND SINGLE CHIP OFFERINGS. MANY OF THESE DISPLAYS ALLOW ME TO REDUCE PRICES EACH TIME THEY ARE SHOWN.
AND THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF LOWERING THE NUMBERS IN MY INVENTORY. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE BUY ONE OF EVERY THING THAT I HAVE IN CERTAIN CATEGORIES. I HAVE HAD ONE TIME CUSTOMERS; OBVIOUSLY ARM CHAIR COLLECTORS HIT MY WEB SITE ON THE COLLECTION LIBRARY WEB SITE AND LOAD UP; SPENDING IN EXCESS OF $500 AT A TIME.
ALL OF THESE METHODS ARE ACES WITH ME. SO, IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO GET MORE INVOLVED WITH TRADING AND/OR SELLING CHIPS AND YOU HAVE A FEW BUCKS TO SPEND; LOOK ME UP AND SEND ME AN EMAIL. AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFO YOU COULD CALL ME, MY PHONE NUMBER WILL BE FURNISHED TO ANY INTERESTED CUSTOMER. THANKS FOR READING THIS.
MANY YEARS AGO I STARTED MY POSTING, BY POSTING “A SET OF THE DAY” I THINK I HAD ABOUT 300-400 SETS ALL TOGETHER. THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN BACK THEN. AND WHEN I STARTED DOING “A PAGE A DAY” I INCLUDED BETTER SETS AS A CATEGORY.
BUT NOW; RATHER THAN HAVING MY BETTER SETS CATEGORY, I WILL START HAVING A REGULAR SET OF THE DAY WITH MY OTHER FEATURES WHEN I DISPLAY A “PAGE OF THE DAY”.
I AM REDUCING PRICES ON MOST OF THESE SETS, SOME WILL BE FACE VALUE, SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND WANT, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN SENDING ME AN EMAIL, PUTTING A SOLD SIGN ON THE CB IS NOT THE WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PURCHASE OR TRADE. SEE POD FOR P/H RATES. SEND ME AN EMAIL FOR ORDERS OR QUESTIONS…Reggie
$5 for the Set
