Anyone else HATE the wait after they win an auction for a nice chip???!!!!???
I won 2 SUPER RARE ones today!!
I will be posting good scans when they arrive!

First one didnt cost me too much BUT i think thats because the seller didnt include the key word "Florida" because i know a few Florida collectors who would of bid high on this one. The reason is that i think this may be the first known pari-mutuel chip(excluding any old illegal type of chips)!! I talked to THE Florida chip expert today (Lighterman) and he didnt see the auction and knew nothing of this chips existance. This would of been made before cardrooms opened in Florida!

The second rare chip is from the New Bahamain Club in the Bahamas! This one cost me but i was glad to get it for what i paid! Also after checking some of the other chips in the lot i found that a few of the others were valuble too, so ill probably dump those off and bring the cost down!

Yes! The better the chip the longer the arrival seems. In reality it's usually 2 or 3 days but I've had times where I've gone home at lunch time to check the mail!

Congrats on the pick-ups!! That Bahamian chip sure is a beauty!

I had my eye on the second auction, too...

If you're looking to dump the chips from The Brighton, let me know.
