~~~ I returned to the casino. Via the pit, I was told to "wait right here" and being overjoyed at how close I was in having my request met, I made a point of saying "I really don't need anything fancy and just a plain black and white copy would be fine" and it appeared it was all going down fine. The bad news came over an hour later.

I can say this, on the previous night I played there were not any plaques on the wheel. The game was well-run and I even mentioned that here a few times.

What you said about the Paris inventory, I believe, thus why I would personally not pay anything near some of the quoted prices paid for some denominations.
