Terry, In a word, No. However...

I have one that I just told another collector of NCV's that I would be putting it up for sale on TheChipBoard today. (I will do so shortly.)

But in this post I will explain that the white 100 was used last week for single-table satellites for the Orleans Open. The Orleans Open (2011) closed on Monday, but ran for a couple of weeks. Evidently, throughout (hourly) they held single-table satellite events at $130. First and second place received a "buy-in" (at $540) to the next day's Open Event and $60 cash.

The satellite chips they used were the 2 dark green 25 NCVs, the white 100 NCV and the blue 500 NCV (located just below the white 100 NCV in the scan.

Meanwhile, the Open Events used the:

Lime Green 25 NCV
Purple 100 NCV
Powder Blue 500 NCV
Grey/Magenta 1000 NCV (a 1/2-pie beauty!)
Blue/Orange 5000 NCV (1/4-pie beauty!)
and, a Creme Yellow, 25,000 NCV!

Other than the 25,000 NCV, these same colors are now in-use for the daily tournaments, except the 5,000 NCV, which seems to only come out on Friday night's bigger game at 7:00 pm! (BTW-Mike Spinetti's wife (Anne) had a stack of the 25,000 NCV's when I saw her last, going head's-up at a Final Table for one of the Open Events that ended on Saturday. I don't know how she ended up, but it was a nice payday either way! At the time I pointed out the 25,000 NCV's to Mike. He had never seen them before either.)

I played in one of the satellite events and about 15 minutes into the game, one of the players suggested creating a 3rd place and that the 1st and 2nd place finishers would take the buy-in prize only and give up the cash ($60 each) to the 3rd place finisher. This was accepted by all 10 players and I ended up with the $120! $100 after I toked the lone dealer $20.

So, the white 100 NCV's are again locked up for another year!

This one is really very nice, and Yes, I cleaned it! Like a fallen rack of ribs! vbg
