Years ago, my friend Robert Eisenstadt told me about complete sets of all the original AC casino chips for sale from $1 all the way up. Well I didn't have the money then to buy all of them so selected a few--one I didn't get was the Brighton and of course kicked myself thereafter. Three summers ago, I was in AC and there was a small flea market set up outside the Sands in the park. I strolled by and there was a Brighton chip for sale and the seller said, "It's not good any more so you can have it for a buck." I paid the buck and danced all the way back to the Trop. The following day picked up Archie's book and saw that my Brighton NCV was worth just about what I paid for it.
