My Lucky Day!

On my way home from the convention, we stopped at Riverside to play poker. While checking with my pal in the cage about any odd chips, he said this kid cashed in a bunch of older Riverside chips and he thought they were still in the cage area. Below are two of the early chips -- one 25-center orange chip was used on the crap table to pay odds in the late 50s. Notice, it's off center and is pretty good condition. The $1 is from the same issue and is in like new condition. Included in the haul was the first house $5 in SU condition, two grey snappers never used and a new 40th commemorative $5 chip. Also, four 30th anniversary gold-colored tokens that feature old automobiles on the face. Anyway, I bought them at face value, but did give a nice tip. My thinking is that these belonged to someone's collection that this young guy either inherited or came into his possession by "other" means. Also, got a Super Bowl XXX River chip -- brand new. That's the year the Dallas Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the big game played in neighboring Arizona's Phoenix stadium. Any thoughts on the chips?
