Good afternoon all.
I am auctioning off 2 sample sets in 1 auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Ellicott City Flood relief.
As some of you may be aware, my home town of Ellicott City, MD was devastated by another flood this Memorial Day weekend. just under 2 years ago, another flood destroyed most of our precious main street. Some of the businesses and residences took over a year to rebuild, only to be destroyed again. At the top of Main Street is Ellicott Mills Brewing Company; the restaurant that my wife and I had our very first date in. Main Street is near and dear to our hearts.
For those that are not familiar, and would like to read more, here are some links:

On to the details:
I have a complete sample set of the Aurora Star Tournament Chips and 1 complete sample set of the Empress Star Cash chips. The winner of the auction will receive both sets of chips, shipping including anywhere in world.
100% of the money raised for this auction will be donated to Ellicott City relief (helpEllicottCity.com)
On top of that, anyone that donates money (in any amount) to HelpEllicottCity.com and posts a screen shot (if possible, no need to post the amount) will be entered to win a sample of my new CPC SpeakEC tournament set (see post here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/the-speakec-custom-cpc-tournament-set.30027/). Pending donations received, I can either run a flip, or run it "raffle" style. If it is done "raffle" style, I may need some assistance with that process.
I will post pics later; however, I am sure most of you are familiar with the chips. They are currently located in my flooded basement, but I will be retrieving everything this evening.

2. Bids must be placed in minimum increments of $1
