From the chipboard:

Low book value -- $40/chip -- might be 20 sets still in existence. $80 shipped, PayPal please.

heh...sure you're sorry! But it's cool; Bob is the great guy who sold me the "imaged" (for lack of a better term) MR chips a few weeks back, and he offered these to me at the time. He told me the story about those chips, but I passed; not quite my thing. But thanks for looking out for me, muchly appreciated.

So what's 208 Poker?

Does Cripple Creek sound like the greatest place on earth outside of Vegas and AC? How many card rooms are in Cripple Creek? Jeesh!

This is what Bob wrote me back in November:

"Below those are 5 no cash value tournament chips, and 10 208 Poker chips. 208 Poker was a game a few Colorado casinos tried for a short time. It was like roulette except it was played with cards.

(I just love knowing that 7 of the top 8 of those chips, are in my house right now!)

Yep, sounds like a slice of poker heaven. According to cochips.com, there are currently 20(!) open casinos there, though that doesn't sound right; Jambine can confirm whether this is true. I counted 52 total casinos, open and closed. That's just crazy talk.

I can't wait to go to the Midnight Rose and just walk around there, then go to Three Creek Ranch and thrash Jambine at one of his cash games
