Hi Mark!

How are you.

Can't remember what pics you refering too but you can email me and I can tell you if they where mein. 90% of all ashtrays I ever sold where mein, and about 10% in consignments.

If you are the guy that has the ashtray web site and I send you a bunch of pictures a while ago , if those are the once , then yes at one point I did own all those ashtrays including the 51 club , cotton club , bar of music etc etc etc.

Now as far as what some people on here really say about me , you probably noticed I don't care anymore. They are in very few in #'s and most of the are dealers in some sort of way or have something big to gain in the hobby. I sold chips for as high as $13,000 a single chip through mail order had no problems. Most of the people that don't like me to this day is because of differences of opinions on the club.But like I said i really don't care anymore.

I wrote a price guide , promoted shows , had a big web site at one point in time, did the club publicity at one point for the convention , and much more. But I got tired of fighting and arguing and going too lower levels so I just do my own thing most of it not chip related. I sell a lot of casino stuff still on ebay and do good with it. And if something is worth over $500 I got a list of about 20 high end collectors tht been buying from me without problems for years so that stuff is easy to move. The more common stuff is harder to move.

Anyways my point of the original message not to get emotional support , I have that from my friends and I am fine.

We will have a get together this week and just move on with life.

The point of the message was that some of you that argue a lot or have a problem with someone just rethink it and maybe its just better to fix it. Because tomorrow it might seem very silly and may be to late.

NO NEED TO REPLY TO MY ORIGINAL MESSAGE.
I AM FINE BUT THANK YOU FOR THE CONCERN
