*** SALES LIST AND WANT LIST ***
| ¶ The chips on this page
are not casino chips. Rather
they are casino quality, fantasy
commemorative poker chips, made through
the efforts of Bill Borland some 15 years
ago. Today they are obsolete and highly
collectible. ... .... .... I noticed this
pattern to the chips (disregarding variations in the
size of edge spots): (a) the chips cover 10 casinos; five
of the casinos have sets of 7 chips ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500,
$1000 and $5000); the other 5 casinos have sets of 9 chips ($1,
$5, $25, $100, $500, two $1000's (one with edge spots; one with "pie")
and two $5000's (one with edge spots; one with "pie"); those
that have both pie and edge spots, the color combinations
of the pie and edge-spot chips are esentially the same; (b) the
$1 and $5 chips have two edge spots (except the $1 Dunes chip
which has no edge spots); (c) the $25 and $100 chips have three
edge spots; (d) the $500 chips have four edge spots; and (e) the
$1000 and $5000 chips have either four edge spots or are pie. ....
....... ........ The above picture is of a cardboard advertising
display for Borland's chips. The back of the display is pictured
at the bottom of this page. Note the inscription "copyright
1992, The Bill Borland Co. ... .... ." Note also that only
7 of the 10 casinos are cited, and only those casinos have pie
$5000 chips; the missing three casinos have only edge-spot $5000
chips. ¶ I am especially indebted to David Spragg, who made the scans of the chips on this page and let me use them here. The history of the Borland chips, the Chip Rack Nevada codes, his scans and descriptions of the colors of all the chips can be seen on his Web page and the Web page he maintains for the Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club. In August 2005, I changed the code numbers to comform to the new number arrangment devised by David. ...... ...... ....... Note: In the pictures, below, where it says "Re-orders with 1/2" inserts," it means that when Bill Borland (in the early 1990's) depleted the first issue of these chips, he re-ordered some more chips with a change in the size of the inserts. Incidentally, all of the code numbers that have an "a" suffix (eg., 15a) have 1/2" inserts. ¶ CHIPS I NEED: In the tables below, I indicate which chips are missing from my collection by a notation in the "Comments" column.. ..... ....... ........ I am also in the market to buy any of the Borland chips for my inventory. ¶ CHIPS I HAVE FOR SALE: In the rightmost column I indicate which chips I have for sale and the sales price. I sell all of my duplicates. I do not hoard them for possible future trades. I wish all collectors did this -- make their duplicate chips available to other collectors by offering them for sale. All the chips offered for sale are in excellent-very fine condition. ... ... ... Postage-insurance: $3.00 . (Click the link at the upper left for PayPal, mailing address, etc., info.) |

The chip is pictured twice above to show the 2 sides.
I don't consider this chip as part of this
series, but the chip was made by Borland,
and the casino dates are on one side. ... ..... I don't have
this chip. |
