Hi, I started a thread some time ago looking to find info or pics on the chips in play, at the historic underground club, known as the Mayfair. No one replied in the WTT/WTB section, so I'm trying this forum instead. The Mayfair Club is where Heimowitz, Zolotow, Harrington, Seidel, and Lederer learned to play. I am curious if anyone has seen any collectibles that may be out there.

There was an older chip posted on the chipboard that was from the mayfair club. It was one that was not used in a long time. I have a poker buddy who worked there till it closed and he confirmed it was not the chip that was used. I will be seeing him in the next few weeks and will ask him to describe the one being used when it was raided. I've not seen them (I've seen plenty of the diamond club though).

Here are a couple of pix of the Diamond Club
