I know/have seen that some casinos issue special chips for certain events and holidays, my question is...Has anyone ever seen or heard of a Groundhogs Day chip? Feb. 2nd is the actual calander day and it also happens to be my B-Day, I've been searching around but can't seem to find any info. on them. Can anyone help me out? It would be a great addition to my collection, if they exist... Thanks..

As an interesting side note to this subject... There are some dyed in the wool stalwarts in the chip collecting hobby, who feel that Limited Edition chips are the bane of chip collecting. Mean while, the explosion of Limited Edition chips has brought a lot of new collectors into the hobby and quite a few of them are only interested in those Limited Edition chips.

Very similar to the NRA concept of they can pry my gun from my cold dead hands (or however it is stated), a motto of the "no more LE" stalwarts was, if they issue a Ground Hog day chip, I'm leaving the hobby!

Well, the Four Queens shortly there after issued a Ground Hog Day chip, no one left the hobby for it, but the chip remains a mini-icon in the hobby.
