Horseshoe Casino - Gardena, CA (1 Viewer)

[jamesjkim]

Being born and raised in LA and frequenting the south bay often as a kid growing up, this set has lots of sentimental value to me - one of my absolute grails.

IMO, these are the chips that started Paulson's fantasy line given they were actually made for the Horseshoe Club in Gardena, CA but the casino closed before they were able to take delivery. I have no evidence to back this claim but many of the fantasy line ups thereafter have the same colors and spot patterns so I can't help but believe this to be the case.

There are too many forum members to list that helped me get here but you know who you are. Goes without saying but thank you PCF community!

And yes, I'm still looking for the black $20s and needed to cheat to get the family photo.

This guy? Possibly, but could I ever find it?

Well, those are our kitchen cabinets, so I suspect I did.

I hope sending dollars can increase the odds.
