Nope, I don't have any examples remaining, nor am I proposing a purchase, but a few viewers have asked me "what does the chip go for" and "which are the rarest" - so here goes:

When I first located the chips I ran straight to
"The Chip Rack" to check out the value.

There, listed before my eyes were every color
combination of table color (rings: red, black,
yellow) known. The key word here is "known" and
not what is actually out there in
collections, or was in my inventory. This "known"
information of the chip colors we have Howdy Herz
to thank, for it was Howdy who traveled to the US
Playing Card Company years prior to shoot the
chips in their museum. Without Howdy's effort we
would have never known these chips existed, as
what my find consisted of was nowhere near all the
combinations (6-each red and yellow ring - 7-each;
black) that were actually manufactured in 1937.

Anyway, "TCR" price was $100. I called around
asking those who have worked on the lake and
collected Tahoe for over 30-years asking what the
story was and if they had any of the chips in
their collection. "No" was their reply, "never
seen anything except for a drilled pink example."

So, I figured I had something rare, and the first
chip went off at $200 (twice book) in a set of
12-different color/ring combinations. I was very
happy, the buyer was very happy and those few who knew to buy had pounded down my door asking for one at the $200 level. I did hold back a bit, of course.

A few weeks later at an Arizona Charlie's show,
one example turned $600. Excellent, I now had a
new base price.

Shortly after, I consigned six different color
chips from the yellow (ring) table to Gaming
Archaeology - Auction N0. 21 (2/20/97), and each
lot (chip) realized from $605 to $763 + the
buyer's 10% commision, so I now knew the chip had
a value of $700+. Again, happy am I.

Howdy noted in his auction description:

WE have been looking for the Cal-Neva checks and chips for years. The value checks of $1, $5 and $25 have been around for years in limited number and should be considered rare." Howdy continues: "We have been aware of the Roulettes for almost 10-years [1997] but have only seen samples in sales records of the US Playing Card Co. When we finally learned of a limited number of examples we were overjoyed. Records at USPC indicate that less than 100 of each color were ordered, and the fact that any have survived make these chips very desirable."

Now I give eBay a shot, and the chip flew: $800;
$1000; $1400 and $1750.

The yellow ring is the most common; the red ring
follows, and the black being the rarest while the
black on white being the rarest of all (only two
examples).

On the last few outs the yellow ring did book; red
ring between $100-$1400 and black ring between
$1400-$1750.

That's all.
