Sheldon:

I can tell you the exact history of that chip (since I am the one who sold it to you on eBay!)

I picked it up at the craps table, on a buy-in bonus as explained before. I bought in for $80 and they gave me $80 in regular chips, plus four of those beauties. This was the night of October 16, 2003, for reference. Of the four, I kept one for my collection, gave one to a friend who is also a chipper, put one up for sale on eBay, and still have one lying around somewhere.

It doesn’t surprise me that it isn’t in TCR #9 given how recently it was in play. I am guessing that it will be one of the rarer Sundowner chips in peoples collections given that it was used shortly before the Sundowner closed. Time will tell, but I hope you enjoy the chip regardless!
