There were many auctions of these plaques and jetons over the last three weeks at the French eBay.
These auctions made the collectors here in Europe really crazy ;-)
Nearly nobody have these pieces in his collection. Most of us even do not have seen these plaques before.

I was told that a large number of these plaques and jetons were sold on a public auction near Paris two or three months ago.
It seems that many of these plaques are in public hands now. I think that the prices will decrease soon.
I am young... I can wait... :-)

I asked the casino in Monaco about the story, but got no answer.
(The Casino de Monte Carlo never respond on questions )
