Chips: 10,507 | | | Re: American Cruises - S.S Savannah Sun I've heard a bit more from Charles Kaplan. He advises that he did make the purchase at Gambler's General Store, however, at that time GGS had a store within a store arrangement with a chip dealer by the name of Bill Aikmen. Bill and GGS owner had a separate sales agreement for Bill's operation and it was not as though GGS was selling Paul-Son made chips.
Bill was selling collector-type chips (onesies and twosies). Bill did this for a period of time before moving elsewhere. Bill now has a presence on eBay.
It was also discussed that these chips may have been from a casino that never opened, much in the same fashion as the President New Yorker. But there is no confirmation on that.

Chips: 6,624 | | | Re: American Cruises - S.S Savannah Sun Can't comment on whether they were fantasy or not, but I had around 100 $5's and $25's of these over a year ago. They were sold by DFlemming. There was recently a set of around 900 of these. I had to resist, love these chips.
Probably the best looking $25 chip I've seen. I sold off the chips I had because I wanted more of the $5's and couldn't find them. Plus now have too many cash sets and only host tournaments. |

It took literally every ounce of restraint in my body to not buy that 900 chip set. It was the perfect 2/5NL cash set.
Now, I wish I had bought it.

No one still knows for sure if these are fantasies or not.
The Dunes $25's look sweet but are to costly. |
