This could be the late Jim Rogers who owned channel 3 here in Las Vegas.

Ralph, he spells it differently Jim Rodgers

I did a Google search myself to see if this guy was famous......and I did come across Jim Rogers.

I'm thinking Jim gave his chips a "pedigree" so they would be worth more. Maybe he should put them in the holders (like they have been slabbed) and add that they came from the Jim Rodger's Collection.
