Yes, the Bellflower shows, later moved to Arcadia, were fun. At my first chip show (the 2nd ever Bellflower show), I was overwhelmed at first. All those dealers & chips in one room! Previously, I only had the experience of picking up chips on personal chip runs, or in dealing with a few others through the mail.
There's a related chip that Doug Saito did for one of the Arcadia shows. He used a paste-on label onto a TRKing/small crown chip, which he then affixed a ribbon to (to be worn like a "chip medal"). I'm recalling this from a (hazy) memory, as I don't know where mine is any longer.
