Good morning everyone, today is for our northern friends from Canada and all collectors of Canadian chips. I have always been fond of these chips, mostly because I grew up in a county in Montana that was adjacent to the Canadian border. Thanks to everyone who opened my POD today. Reggie

A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

Southern California Indian Casinos

By Steve Gobel

I had been on vacation visiting family in San Diego, driving back to Las Vegas. I decided it would be fun in the middle of the night to try to hit all of the Indian casinos along the way. It wasn't planned, it was a spur of the moment thing once I was on the road. I'd left at 7pm. So I got on my cell phone (while driving alone, Bad idea...) and tried to find casinos and maps to them. I found one that I'd not yet passed. Off the freeway up in the hills on a two lane "road". Took a wrong turn somewhere and got totally lost. An hour later I'm finally back to the freeway. A few miles, and Oh! that's the turn off I was supposed to take. Back to the hills. By this time it was well after 9pm or so and it was getting foggy on the road. Soon I'm doing 5 to10 mph and wondering if they'll ever find my car (and body) at the bottom of the ravine, as my family didn't know I was going to be taking side trips. After forever, the fog becomes brighter, the parking lot lights of the Casino have been found! Can't remember this many years later which of the casinos it was.
I'd never really been out just to harvest, and was surprised/annoyed that they would not sell chips from the cage. I had all of $20 on me and did not want to gamble. I just wanted a $1 and a $5. But, I did not want to disappear back into the fog bank empty handed. Cheapest Blackjack table was $5. Sat down. Won a hand. Bit by the bug, instead of running away with my "free" chip, I played it. Blackjack! A snapper is now mine. Played a few more hands and gained several more $5 chips. Asked the dealer to change a $5 for $1's so I could tip him. Gave him two and walked with three. [Yes, I'm a Beap Chastard.] Back to the cage, same lady who wouldn't sell to me. Cashed in $30 on my $20 buy-in and kept the rest. She knew she should have sold me the chips...
Fog didn't seem so bad on the way out. I hit the freeway, this time after doing more research on my phone prior to leaving the parking lot, so as not to be a menace on the road. I stopped at 3 other casinos on the rest of the trip. 2 of them also required play and my luck held out, leaving with free chips and a few extra dollars in cash from each. It was almost a disappointment when the other one sold me the chips from the cage! Made them seem expensive somehow, even using my winnings from the other places. And I'd had to stop and put an extra $20 in gas in my tank for all of the side trips. At 5:30 a.m. I realized that I was still a 3+ hour drive from home and I'd better get going before sleepiness made me more of a menace on the road than cell phone surfing. Most fun I'd had in a long time, and every time I flip through my collection, seeing those chips still brings a smile to my face.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

LUCKY DOG CASINO SHELTON, WA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

IMAGINE CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD LATE ONE MORNING AND SUDDENLY A CASINO APPEARS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE YOU ARE TRAVELING SOUTH. WHAT A SURPRISE, LUCKY DOG HAD JUST OPENED ABOUT 6 MONTHS PRIOR. ALSO, THEY GIVE THE ADDRESS OF SHELTON, WA AND IT IS 12 MILES SOUTH. GO FIGURE. ANY WAY IT WAS A HAPPY SURPRISE, WE WENT IN HAD A CUP OF COFFEE AND A COUPLE OF FREE DONUTS.
LUCKY DOG IS A VERY SMALL CASINO ON HIGHWAY 101, AND ABOUT 10 MILES SOUTH IS LITTLE CREEK CASINO, A VERY LARGE CASINO. THERE MAY BE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO CASINOS.
AFTER OUR MID MORNING FREE SNACK, WE GOT AROUND TO THE HARVEST. I FELT I HAD BETTER DO THE BUY FROM THE ONE OPEN BLACK JACK TABLE AND PLAY A FEW HANDS. I BATTLED BACK AND FORTH AND HAD ALREADY TOLD THE PIT BOSS THE REASON WE STOPPED SO WHEN I LEFT WITH A POCKET FULL OF CHIPS (THEY HAD ONLY $1’S & $5’S) NOTHING WAS SAID, EXCEPT GOOD-BYE AND GOOD LUCK. I STILL NEED THE 50c CHIP FROM THIS CASINO. YES, I DID BUY ENOUGH AT THIS PLEASANT SURPRISE. …REGGIE

A PAIR TO DRAW TO

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

New Release Chips

New release chips have been the subject of some interesting discussions on the Chipboard; to say the least.
Let’s try to establish some guidelines that create the following prices. $1 chip = $3, $4 or $5
• Las Vegas NR’s- not sure why anyone would want to try to get top dollar for a new issue, outside low issue LE’s or LTD’s or stingy cashiers & pit bosses.
• Riverboat’s, Indian Casinos & some Card Rooms. Very often these are somewhat difficult and out of the way. Many times they won’t sell them at the cage and you have use ingenuity to harvest. I agree with the group that ask for a slightly higher price when this is the scenario.
• Overall, I think that $4 shipped (includes postage/handling) should and would be the average asking price for most chip collectors, hobby dealers, and regular known dealers.
• Some chips are released with LTD amounts, usually LTD 200, LTD 500, or LTD 1000 & up, these can and usually will command a higher price; up to and including $5
• Please if you have any thoughts on this matter, email me and I will include them in this little note…Reggie

SET OF THE DAY

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
