Good morning ladies and gentlemen, the POD is on the air. Today's pages are Arizona, New Mexico and the Chips of the Year ( from the beginning thru current). Things seem to be going just fine with this new year and new cycle of POD's. My Hang a Sold sign displays also are doing just fine. I have 1000 of them with suitable replacements to add when one is sold. It will probably take between 4-6 months to go through the 1000. At the end of the 1000 displays I will start over and lower the prices on all of them except the ones with LOCK's on them and the ones that have reached the minimum of $4. Reggie

SOLD CHIPS:
A WORD OR TWO ON MY REVERSE AUCTIONS
FOLKS MY REVERSE AUCTIONS WILL EVENTUALLY BE SO REDUCED THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESIST. HOWEVER, I SHOULD POINT OUT TO YOU THAT A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE ARE ONE OF A KIND, IN OTHER WORDS; IF IT IS A CHIP I HAVE ONLY ONE, OR IF IT IS A SET OF CHIPS THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT I HAVE ONLY ONE SET.
ONCE THE CHIPS GET SO LOW AND THEY ARE EITHER FACE VALUE OR THE SETS ARE FACE VALUE, I WILL BREAK UP THE SETS AND/OR LOCK THE PRICE ON THE SINGLES TO EITHER JUST ABOVE FACE OR FACE VALUE. I REALLY WANT TO FIND HOMES FOR MY CHIPS I JUST DO NOT WANT TO PAY TO HAVE THEM TAKEN OFF MY HANDS.
WHEN I START SELLING MY COLLECTION I WILL ANNOUNCE IT ON THE CHIP BOARD; FOR THE HARD TO GET ITEMS THEY WILL BE PUT ON THE REVERSE AUCTION STATUS. THE CHIP BOARD WILL ALWAYS GET FIRST SHOT AT MY CHIPS, BEFORE EBAY. THE COMMONS WILL BE HANDLED AS THEY ARE ON THE PAGE OF THE DAY. SOME COMMONS WILL HIT THE LOWEST OF THE LOW “THE VERY VERY CHEAP CHIPS” OFFERINGS.
ALONG THE WAY I WILL ITEMIZE WHAT CATEGORIES/STATES I WILL BE MAINTAINING FOR MY COLLECTION AND WHAT WILL BE OFFERED UP FOR SALE OR TRADE.
THANKS FOR BENDING AN EAR TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT…REGGIE

My story about the new Lucky Lady. I had been following the ups and downs of the Normandie Casino online - open, now closed, but actually still open . . . until news of Larry Flynt's purchase of the casino hit the news. But as you know, a big ruckus erupted between Larry and the City of Gardena which wanted a guarantee of $800,000 tax revenue per month in return for certain "favorable allowances." Mr. Flynt refused to cave in and kept the casino closed . . . for a few days. I recognized this as the classic poker-bluff.
Sure enough, the City caved in, and in a news release on July 19, it was announced that the Lucky Lady might open as soon as Friday, July 20. I read this on July 20 . . . and decided to drive down to Gardena to see for myself, with no great expectation that the casino would indeed be open.
But, surprise! The new Lucky Lady was open, in fact its grand opening, marked only by a workman hurriedly applying a new Lucky Lady decal to the front doors. It must have been hurriedly arranged - no balloons, flowers or that sort of thing. Just some dedicated gamblers playin' away . . . with new chips! Which, when I bought some at the Cage, turned out to have the naked lady on the inlay. Shocking, but fun! I had all of $65 with me at the time, and this went fast for 50¢, $1, and $5 chips. Walked around the tables and asked a dealer what those green chips were - $2 drop chips, she replied. Welllll . . . back to the cage for some of those, which the cashier graciously sold. But then - I spied some red chips in a rack and was told they were $3 drop chips - not currently on the tables. But, I asked the cashier, could I buy some as a collector? She shrugged and said it was all right with her. Next problem: no more cash!
Drove frantically around Gardena looking for a compatible ATM and sure enough, a block from the Hustler, the right bank appeared. So, with a newly-acquired $100 bankroll in my pocket, I raced back to the Lucky Lady and bought more chips, including those $3 ones.
Best chuckle of the night: seeing a patron approach the doors of the Lucky Lady, stop, and stare at the new decals. He did a double-take, as if he was on "Candid Camera." But the doors had a familiar look to them, so in he went. I can only imagine his surprise when he got a handful of naked lady chips for his game!
Anyway, that's one of the few casino grand openings that I ever attended, and pretty much all by accident.

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO NANCY AND I FLEW INTO SPOKANE TO VISIT THE PATRIARCH OF MY FAMILY. ALSO I DID SOME HARVESTING, BUT THE NORTHERN QUEST WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE PART OF THE HARVEST.
WE VISITED THE BLACK PEARL, LILAC LANES, HOOTERS, ACES EMPORIUM AND THE CHEWELAH CASINO. THE CHEWELAH WILL BE ANOTHER STORY LATER ON.
AFTER ALL OF THE VISITING AND SPECIAL MEALS WITH MY UNCLE AND WIFE WE DECIDED TO HEAD OVER THE NORTHERN QUEST. IF ANY OF YOU LIVE OR HAVE EVER BEEN TO CALIFORNIA AND HAVE RECOLLECTIONS OF HOW HUGE SOME OF THOSE CASINOS ARE THEN YOU HAVE SOME IDEA HOW LARGE THE NORTHERN QUEST IS.
NORTHERN QUEST HAS A NICE POKER ROOM, SO I GAVE MY NAME TO THE BRUSH AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES FOR THEM TO CALL ME. MEANWHILE, NANCY WAS DOING HER JOB, OF MAKING SURE THE SLOTS ARE WORKING. I HAD GIVEN HER A TEN TO PICK UP SOME NORTHERN QUEST SNAPPERS, OF WHICH I WAS LOW ON. WHEN SHE CAME BACK AND SAID I CAN’T WIN HERE, AND HANDED ME THE 4 SNAPPERS THERE WAS BRAND NEW ONE IN THE GROUP THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN. WE SCRAMBLED AROUND TRYING TO FIND SOME MORE I MANAGED TO ACCUMULATE ABOUT 12 ALL TOGETHER. I DID NOT BUY ENOUGH
WHEN I SHOWED UP AT THE LV SHOW LATER THAT WEEK, IT WAS APPARENT NO ONE ELSE HAD SEEN THIS NEW SNAPPER FROM THE NORTHERN QUEST.…REGGIE

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 NOW, 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

I WILL BE FEATURING ONE STATE PER PAGE OF THE DAY IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE, NO CHERRY PICKING REQUESTS, UNTIL I BREAK DOWN THE STATES INTO INDIVIDUAL CHIPS. IT WILL BE ONE TO TWO YEARS (2019-2020)BEFORE I BREAK ANY OF THE LARGER STATES AND WHEN I DO I WILL MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
A WORD ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE DUPLICATES ON THE PAGES. THESE ARE UV OR MOLD VARIATIONS. I AM NOT GOING TO PULL THESE OUT AT THIS TIME. SHOULD THIS BECOME A NEGOTIATING FACTOR AND THE BUYER ONLY WANTS JUST ONE CHIP AND THE UV’S AND MOLDS MATTER NOT, THEN I WILL REMOVE THEM AND ADJUST THE PRICE ACCORDINGLY.
FOLKS, MANY OF THESE CHIPS ARE ALIVE, AND STILL BEING USED ON THE TABLES TODAY. SHOULD YOU BE NEAR BY A CLUSTER OF CASINOS FROM ANY PARTICULAR STATE, YOU PROBABLY CAN COME OUT AHEAD. ALSO, PLEASE KNOW THAT I CONSTANTLY OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS UP GRADED. I BOUGHT ANY NEW CASINO ISSUES WHEN THEY COME OUT FROM THE LOCAL CHIPPER THAT OFFERED THEM FOR SALE ON THE CHIPBOARD. THANKS FOR TAKING A LOOK-SEE…REGGIE
