Why do I go to Tombstone? The answer is in the pictures of these rare Antique poker chips. As an Antique chip collector, this represents a MAJOR SCORE with these rare gems! Well worth the 33 mile trip for me.

RULES: Guess the total price I paid for the 18 chips in the pictures without going over. HINTS: All of the chips are Antiques from the late 1800s or early 1900s. Some of the chips are not Seymour coded. Some were in a $3 bin or 4 for $10. A 10% discount was applied to the total price and 8% tax was added to that total. The chip lot was purchased today!

The member that posts the closest guess of what I paid for the 18 chips pictured without going over, wins a pair of GOOSE chips from GOOSE AFB/SAC Goose Bay, Newfoundland pictured at the bottom of this post.

Obverse and reverse shown on the first four chips. Note the small size engraved chips... very rare!



The BIRD CAGE THEATRE in Tombstone claims, "The Longest running non stop poker game in history." 8 years 5 months & 3 days lasting from 1881 until 1889. Notable players were: Bat Masterson, Luke Short, Diamond Jim Brady, Adolphos Busch, Randolf Herst, Earp, & Holiday. $1000 buy in and an estimated 10 million dollars passed accross the table with a 10% rake in this house dealt game. The table is still set up in the basement with it's dirt floor. The picture was taken today.

Winner gets these two GOOSE chips! GOOD LUCK! Smitty
