When I cherry picked all 7000 pieces after Stan and Dorris found the "cases."
It's believed that the IL woman's club (where they were shipped to via REA from Reno) did the o/s.
BTW, I cut out one of the shippng lables back then and sent it to Howdy.
Considering the number of table/color combinations involved in the 7000-piece find, that's not all that many chips when you add up the number of sets that can be assembled.
Howdy published a great graph after I submitted all the previously unknown combinations... I remember he coined it "The Missing Link to the Harolds Club..."
Somebody purchased the remainder of the find a few months later... and I wholesaled most of my inventory except for the "New Out Of Box" stuff.
