... here's the story on that one.

Gene Grossblatt would call me every Tuesday and Friday (after the market closed) asking what all rare Nevada I found (I ran ads in over 400 newspapers for Nevada and Ivory chips), and one day he called me a few days after returning home from a hospital visit just to shoot the breeze... and saying that he was going crazy at home w/o any chip action to speak of. "No problem, Gene" I said, and told him about my recent conversation with the owner of Summit Casino Products... and if he wanted to try and fetch the $500 chip that was just sitting collecting dust. We visited for a few more minutes... and then said our good-byes. A few days later I get a call from Gene (still at home in bed) and he opens with his usual "Hellllooo, John" and pops a "guess what I'm holding in my hand right now?"

End of story...
