As I've posted before, I've got a (relatively) short list of about 200 Nevada casinos whose chips I'm hunting for. I collect one per casino, preferably a $5 denomination. My ebay searches are now rarely turning up chips to bid on or buy. Craigslist and Facebook marketplace are pretty useless. Doug Saito's current auction (my first with him) has a few I'll be bidding on. I attended my first convention this past year and found quite a few there, and I hope I'll find even more this year. I check the "for sale" posts on the chip board, of course, and I've posted my entire want list in a post of my own, which contains a link to an excel spreadsheet I keep updated as I acquire issues I'm seeking (see below). Spinettis and Marlow's no longer have any that I'm looking for, and Rube's thus far hasn't yielded any I'm seeking. Where else might I find more chips to fill in my collection? The ones I'm seeking are all pretty rare at this point. Only 2 chips have a TCR value code below "H". 90% are "L" and above. 50% are "U" and above. I appreciate any leads you can throw my way, and just so you all know, I'm open to being adopted and accepting bequeathed collections left to me in wills. I'll be a good boy and eat all my vegetables. I promise. Thanks -- barry
