for trade for sale POD of California Ones for sale for trade

Hi Everyone, here is the latest POD. California. The great state of California. At least it was when I still lived there, have heard it is well; not so good any more in certain areas. I digress. This Wed and Thursday, there will not probably be any postings from yours truly, we are going over Miami way. Staying over night at the Hard Rock. No, the the "Big Guitar" is not open yet. They are still working on the inside of it. So, California collectors take a look at the huge assortment of California dollar chips, and thanks for taking a look at my post. Reggie

CHIP TIPS FOR CHIP COLLECTORS

new release

New Release Chips

new release
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

A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

Barona Casino

By: J. Eric Freedner


Having been "tipped off" by another collector (Jim Colbert) that Barona Casino had put new lower-denomination chips on its tables (and had begun using the Year of the Dog $8 chips), I drove down there to see for myself, and of course, to buy a few of each denomination. Yes, new chips were in play. I stopped at a blackjack table to buy some 1's and 5's, which the dealer happily sold. In looking at the 5's, I spotted one very different looking - a dark purple inlay and "Welcome Home 2018 Expansion" on it. (Jim hadn't mentioned this, and it turned out he didn't know about it.) The Pit Boss, who had come over the supervise the transaction, said that this was also a new chip released for the opening of the new hotel wing, and that if I wanted to buy more, they were circulating at various tables.

Off to the "Dragon Alley" tables which is the Asian gaming section. Found another dealer who had a few Year of the Dog chips in his rack, threw down a $100 bill and asked to buy them, along with any $5 "Welcome Home" chips he might have. The man rose to the occasion, but took a few moments to compute 8's and 5's out of $100. He started by tossing out two $25 chips and began looking through his rack. While this was going on, I became aware of a bit of confusion and noise behind me. Turned around and was handed a Lucky Red Envelope by the lady leading the Puppy Patrol, or whatever the special Asian good luck troupe was called. Inside was a free $8 Year of the Dog chip! These are usually given out only to seated players, but the Puppy Patrol figured I qualified. (Another lady at the table also got an envelope.)

I said, "Thank you, Dog Lady!" At which the other Patrol members, shaking tambourines and drumsticks, all broke out in laughter.

In retrieving my other $8 and $5 chips, and the $25's, I noted that the $25 chips were also different from last year's in color and design. I left with pockets filled with nice new chips, but not before I tried my Dog Luck at a slot game. Won a $120 jackpot. Yep, the Red Envelope indeed contained a Lucky Dog Chip.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

HARRAH’S CHEROKEE, NC

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

WHILE LIVING IN TENNESSEE HARRAH’S IN CHEROKEE, NC WAS THE CLOSEST CASINO TO WHERE WE LIVED IN IN EASTERN TENNESSEE. IT WAS ABOUT A 2 HOUR TRIP ONE WAY. WE TRIED TO DRIVE A DIFFERENT WAY EACH TIME WE WENT BECAUSE THE SCENERY IN AND AROUND THE GREAT SMOKIES WAS BREATHTAKING.
THIS WAS THE ONLY CASINO IN NORTH CAROLINA AND IT IS HUGE. AND THEY HAVE ADDED MORE ROOMS TO THEIR HOTEL RECENTLY. THEY DO A LOT COMPING AND HAVE A LOT OF SHUTTLE BUSES IN AND OUT OF THERE.
HAVING BEEN THEIR SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE PAID MY DUES, THEIR BLACK JACK AND ALL TABLE GAMES ARE ELECTRONIC, YET THEY HAVE A DEALER STANDING THERE TO PAY OR COLLECT YOUR BETS IN CHIPS. I HAVE ALWAYS HARVESTED A FEW, AS NEEDED EACH TRIP, THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING NEW SO WHEN I SPOTTED A NEWER LOOKING ONE I WOULD UPGRADE MY TRADERS AND COLLECTION. …REGGIE
