Back in 2012 on ChipTalk, I bought my playable cash set of Borland El Ranchos from Apache. I've added onto it a bit over the years, (thanks, David Spragg!), and I think it's now around 600 chips.
In the ensuing years, I've not only never heard of another playable set of El Ranchos, but of any of the Borland commemoratives.
Does anyone know of any other playable sets, or any other source of related information besides the production totals on marlowcasinochips.com?
TIA!

From the Apache sale:
"El Rancho Las Vegas Borland Chip Set For Sale
These chips were made in 1992 and are in brand new condition.
I would like to sell them as a set but will break them up.
I have:
200 $1 Chips
172 $5 Chips
87 $25 Chips
22 $100 Chips
7 $1000 Chips
4 $5000 Chips
A very nice 400 chip set could be made and this would be a one of a kind set.
Little story:
I remember back around 1999 at Gamblers General Store when they bought the entire lot of these. They had about ten different CASINOS available and the boxes were stacked all over the place. Not sure but I think they were priced at $.75 each. It is not uncommon for these to sell for over $10 each. Just wish I would have bought all of them."
