I just looked up a company webpage I created in 1995, and I almost laughed my ass off.
I sold my shares in 1996 but apparently they still had the same site up in '97: http://web.archive.org/web/199702041...tp://ccom.net/
Was I an HTML guru or what?!  |

| | Oh man, I bid on some of those $10 chips a little while ago. These chips are fantastic, simple graphics, great colour schemes, and close enough to remember. Never went there, closed before I was of age, but you're right on in terms of the name and location. I think i even made a posting about these, let me see if I can find it...
Hmm, can't find it anywhere. There's a chance that I posted to 2+2, but couldn't find it there either. Great chips, wish I had 'em. If anyone sees these anywhere for sale, pm me!
There they are... http://www.lcssinc.com/bigmike/plaisdescongress.html |

My home game this week, my father-in-law was visiting and all he had was US dollars. We took them at par! |

| | | I love the edgespots and different inlay shapes on these chips, nice set!
Can I borrow that way back machine and get someone to sell me 500 Paulson actual casino chips for $300? |

I'm not sure the history of these, my searches tell me that the Palais de Congress is something like a convention center in Montreal and that CPIAAQ is the Center for the Promotion of Agriculture and Agribusiness in Quebec (not exactly, I don't know French)
