Welcome to the group of us who are addicted to illegal club chips. The best part is when you DO find a chip and are able to attribute it to a known club. Here in east Tennessee there just are no chips to be found! I have been looking for five years. Then one day I dug into the bottom of a box at a local antique show and came up with a cigar box of chips. I saw the Blue $1.00 s-mold chips that said "Lookout House" on them and almost fainted. I had discovered a previously unknown Newport,KY chip that matched the known $5.00 pink. And that is not the best part. It so happened that there were Red chips with the initials "RBP" in the same box. I just knew that those red chips had to be from Newport also. Imagine my gratification when two years later Larry Trapp tells me about a conversation with a former cop from Newport that remembered a black bar in Newport with the name Royal Blue Palace and he remembered the RBP chips. Sometimes life is great.
