I have a pretty good collection of $8 chips. The last couple of years I have sent Sheldon some money and he picks them up for me. I am not writting this to embarass him. I want the newer people to see what kind of people we have in our club. We did our usual deal last month and Sheldon made several trips and got most of the $8 chips I needed. One chip, The Palazzo was not available because Asian marketing got them for a private party. Somehow Sheldon got me one. Immediatley everyone knew this was going to be a rare LE. One on Ebay brought over $100. This happened before Sheldon mailed my chips to me. It would have been very easy for him to pull that chip and say 'sorry, I couldn't get that one' and he would have had a pretty decent profit. Knowing Sheldon, I'm sure that never crossed his mind. For years I have kidded him about how lucky he is to have the lovely Christine , now I also think she is lucky to have a guy like Sheldon.
