This rack is a quick in and out for a great trade deal.

I'm not big into collecting casino singles, but when I spotted this one on eBay it was an easy pick-up:

If you're not familiar with the checkered history of the Montecito, one of the finest hotels ever built on the Strip, be sure to check out this short documentary:



The wife and I used to watch the show back when it was airing. She watched it because Josh Duhamel was one of the hunks from her favorite soap. I watched it because it was about Vegas security (a make-believe version of it, anyway) and that was cool and fun.

This particular chip looks to be RT Plastics, which is nice - it's a budget option for a casino so easier for a TV production to afford, but still has more "real casino" vibe than relabeled dice chips or whatever. I suspect given the odd color combination that the chips were custom ordered from the manufacturer. I haven't rewatched the episodes to see what other chip designs they might have used among their props. I do like the chip's appearance, though; the label in particular strikes me as simple but classy.

A fun and unusual addition to my collection, with a touch of sentimental value!
 
Saw @FordPickup92 @Ben8257 find a near mint+ PCA primary $5 earlier this year which was proof that they exist…. Then this surfaced on eBay last week for $12…. Snap buy, super sharp edges…. I don’t collect singles but needed this for the PCA set…

Congratulations on the pick up! I would've snagged it as well had I seen it! Great price too, definitely a snap buy!
