The last 79 very unique "chicken" chips are up for grabs to the highest bidder. Bidding starts at $316 ($4/chip). Please email (barry@sunset.net) or text (530-570-2222) bids. Bidding ends when no new bids received in 24 hours or when all bidders but one have dropped out. Here is a picture of the chips. Good luck, and to those of you who purchased sets from me this week, they're either on their way or packed up for pick up at the convention. Thank you all.
From what I learned in the chipguide and from fellow chippers, these are apparently from a San Francisco California illegal card room. Chinatown, specifically. I don't have any specific knowledge about, nor provenance for, these chips. I bought them at an auction, shared the love a bit with several of you, and since they're not my primary collection, someone else who specializes in these is better off selling them (or keeping them).
$0.10 - 16 chips
$0.25 - 14 chips
$0.50 - 14 chips
$1.00 - 11 chips
$5.00 - 12 chips
$10.00 - 12 chips
Total: 79 chips
Yes, I know the pictures are sideways. No, I don't care to take the time to deal with it. I think y'all can figure out what they look like at any angle.
