Looking for a quick history lesson on these two chips.
What is the status of these casinos?
Are the chips cancelled or obsolete in some way?
Why do these chip command such big $$ (other than they are some of the best looking casino Paulsons out there)?

Thanks to links_slayer and rimmerryan for assisting me in my search for the Ritz $500 and Vineyard 8-spot $100. Not into collecting but these will be the coolest card caps on the table.


Let the history lesson begin.........

A recent thread about the Vineyards:

not sure about Ritz chips.

Thanks for the Vineyard Links.

Quote from article:
"One of the first things Vineyard Worship Center did was dispose of items that Sun America left behind like $30 million worth in poker chips, gaming tables and a closet full of alcohol!"

Does anyone know how they actually disposed of the massive lot of chips?

They probably kept the wine.....

From casino to church - I thought the Vineyard story was a joke when I first saw it but i guess stranger things have happened.
