A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

The Riviera (Florida)

By:James Eric Freedner

Here’s one I don't see on the Chipguide Florida page: The
illegal Riviera that was on one of the Sunny Isles near
Hallandale.
Red chip, 3 light blue inserts, hot-stamped "R" with
an odd hearts-and-squares mold.
The Riviera holds a special place in my memory: it was the
first casino I ever saw! I must have been about 6 years
old and visiting with my grandmother and grandfather, who
took my parents and I from their home in Hollywood to Miami
Beach via A1A. And we passed this creepy boarded-up old
building where the road going down the peninsula was fenced
off with a big chain between posts. My grandparents said
it was a casino that had been owned by gangsters, and it was
now deserted.
The building stood for quite some years (wonder who paid the
property taxes?) but became damaged in various hurricanes,
and by around 1964, I think, it was torn down. Don't
know what's there now as we moved from Florida in 1965.
Around 55 years passed, during which time I forgot the name of the
old casino, but eventually I took an interest in collecting
chips and decided to research it. "Riviera" it
was, same name but presumably not ownership, as another
Riviera Hotel in Miami Beach.
And when this chip came up on eBay, I decided to bid on it – and won!
A "red" chip would today be a $5 gaming piece, but I
don't know how it was played in the old days.
Reggie
- don't know if this counts as a "harvesting
story" but you are welcome to use it if you
wish.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

MONTBLEU LAKE TAHOE, NV

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

MONTBLEU AS MOST OF YOU KNOW IS THE OLD “CAESAR’S PALACE” IN LAKE TAHOE. I HAVE ENJOYED PLAYING POKER THERE AND HARVESTING CHIPS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIMES. BUT, THE LAST TIME IS THE ONE I MUST RELATE A SHORT STORY ABOUT. NANCY AND I WERE MARRIED THERE IN AUGUST OF 2007.
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING, I WAS ALREADY FRIED FROM RUNNING ERRANDS AND GETTING THINGS READY FOR THE WEDDING, FINDING A PARKING SPOT FOR THE RV, ETC., THE GUYS HAD TO TAKE ME OUT TO ALL THE CASINOS, MY SON AND FRIENDS FROM CALIFORNIA. I AM ALMOST ASHAMED TO SAY I WAS HEADED FOR BED RIGHT ABOUT THE WITCHING HOUR OF 12. I DID GATHER A FEW CHIPS, MOST MEMORABLE WAS THE BILLS CASINO, NOT KNOWING IT WOULD BE CLOSING UP SOON.
NANCY AND I WERE MARRIED IN LAKE TAHOE IN 2007 AT TIME SHARE COMMUNITY CENTER, WE HAD ABOUT 40+ PEOPLE THERE. HER BROTHERS FAMILY FROM FLORIDA, A BUNCH OF MY FRIENDS FROM CALIFORNIA, AND MY YOUNGEST SON WHO WAS THE BESTMAN AND NANCY BEST FRIEND FOR OVER 50 YEARS WHO WAS HER BRIDESMAID. THEN, AFTER THE WEDDING WE TOOK EVERYONE OUT ON THE MS DIXIE PADDLEWHEELER, FOR DINNER AND DANCING. AFTER ALL THAT WE MOVED INTO THE MONTBLEAU FOR A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE WE LEFT FOR LAS VEGAS AND MY FIRST CONVENTION AT THE RIVIERA.
THE DAY AFTER THE WEDDING WE ALL MET IN THE RESTAURANT AT THE MONTBLEU, THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN. I MADE MY LAST PASS AT THE CASHIER, TO BUY SOME MONTBLEU GRAND OPENING CHIPS.
NO, I DO NOT BELIEVE I BOUGHT ENOUGH CHIPS HERE AT THE MONTBLEU, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD TO TRADE TO GET A FEW CHIPS FOR MY POD’s…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

ANGLE SHOOTERS, CHISLERS, LOW BALLERS & etc

You have experienced them in the cardrooms, please let me explain how they apply to our hobby.


First and foremost, let me make this perfectly clear that this does not apply to .99&44/100% of us. But, if you want to know who the shoe fits……then read this:
There seems to be a very small amount of chip collectors from time to time visit us on our blog boards and conventions, that just cannot shoot straight. But if they get hurt in some transaction or something happens to them during a transaction that is not right in their estimation then they cry “foul”. You know who you are.
I have had a few of these types, attempt various things over the years to me, and many of my friends and customers. I think something needs to be done to help prevent these actions from happening; but I fall short of creating black lists or airing dirty laundry in public. I am always available for any kind of discussion, with like- minded “chippers”.
The best part of being a member of the CC-GTCC is that it narrows these types down to .99&88/100%. One thing; I do, do is save emails as a CYA policy. Also, I try to re-write any response to any actions of any scenarios, I find myself in; several times during a 24 hour period of time, instead of firing off a knee-jerk reaction. Be advised that I do trade & sell to many non-members, but sometimes it takes a while to gain trust with non-members and vice-versa.
One big problem has always been the USPS. There always seems to be a different set of circumstances that surround each “lost shipment”. What to do? Does the shipper or customer take the hit, or both? This seems to be the way some collectors acquire their chips, have you noticed?
And my biggest question: do we have on file somewhere procedures to follow in these circumstances? If not, is it about time? And lastly; should I just delete this last question? And stay out of this problem. And handle these things as they develop one at a time. Your thoughts on the matter would be highly appreciated. Sincerely; Reggie…

POST CARDS FROM NEVADA

I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING POST CARDS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND HAVE SOME PRETTY COOL ONES. THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A NICE THING TO DO; SHARING THEM. NOT QUITE READY TO START SELLING THEM. ( THERE ARE VERY FEW THAT I HAVE DUPLICATES THEY ARE FOR SALE AND WILL HAVE A PRICE ALONG WITH THEIR TITLES). THAT BEING SAID; SHOULD YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES THAT IS NOT PRICED, FEEL FREE TO MAKE ME AN HONEST OFFER.…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

MY WEB SITE

HOME OF 4500 TRADERS

Starting 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
