Oaasis was an underground card club in Levittown, NY in the mid 2000's. I was supposed to go there twice and then it disappeared, as most of the clubs did around that time. The guys that owned it also had owned the Diamond Club in NYC. One day at the Wynn Poker Room, my brother-in-law was playing in a 5-handed $2-5 no limit game with one of the owners. I spoke with him for a bit (nice enough guy). I asked him about the Diamond Club chips (this was before so many were sold into the hobby) and he told me he had them all and was waiting for the right opportunity before he sold ANY of them. No idea what he thought might happen.

Anyway, always liked the chips. The two above came from the WICO collection that Rich Burgel acquired. Thanks, Rich!
