The chip below came from Bruce Landau at the last AC Chapter meeting in November. I was at Bruce's table looking at the chip when Rich Hanover came to the table and we started to discuss the chip. Bruce then told us how he got the chip. He told us that the chip was current but you could not purchase it from the casino and that you had to win it. He then proceeded to tell us how he "won" the chip. He placed a $55 bet on team A with the points and a $55 bet on team B minus the points. He then waited 2 hours for the game to end. The winning ticket was now worth $105. He collected his winnings with payent coming in the form of chips rather than cash. This made the cost of the chip $105. He then said to me, "if you want the chip I'll charge you $105." That's the kind of guy Bruce was. All that time and effort and then selling the chip at his actual cost.
