I have a lot of favorite Illegal chips but this is my favorite for the following reasons:

1. It is a very Rare and Desirable Chip.
2. It is on a great old mold - Heart &Rectangle
3. I visited the Club where the chip came from - it was still open in 2003.
4. I spent some quality time with the Bobbi Pearse (Widow of the Purple Krackle Club owner Bud Pearse) and she gave me a complete history of the Purple Krackle.
5. The chip was a gift from a fellow who used to work in the old illegal clubs in the E. Cape area and I got a ton of info on the illegal clubs in that area and a bunch of chips from him.
7. I met a lot of interesting people when I visited the Southern Illinois area several times in the early 2000s.
8. After visiting the area, I wrote an article for the Club Magazine about the Illegal Clubs in the E. Cape area.

I guess thats enough reasons to like the chip !!!!
