Here is a little bean spilling.. 3 racks of my RVCL $5s came from Spinettis!
Sitting right under our noses for who knows how long!
Mikko told me he didn't remember when or where he got them (he only had the 3 racks of $5s and a few racks each of the $25 pri and sec)
It was a fluke that I found out he had them when discussing other chips with Mikko.

Was this last year? I got the primary (?) / secondary (?) $25s after the chip show last year.
Still counts -- I had 3/5ths of the denominations (half if including the 50c chips).

FYI I picked up # 67 of the $1 chips recently. Three more $100 to get to a full rack. Thanks for the love of first edition Trops.
And of course, your "grail" set may -- in fact, probably will -- change over time.
I can easily remember when a Vineyard set was my absolutely unattainable grail...and before that, Chipco Egyptians.
Time flies when you're buying chips...

Grail is definitely a subjective term. There are only a few sets out there that I consider to be my grail sets. I'm lucky to have two of them. Both sets took years to build, and a lot of work to track them down. Lakeshore Inn, Nevada Lodge, Mapes, ACF, Starlite Cruises, Old School Binions, and maybe one or two others. But they have to pretty rare, extremely beautiful, and in playable quantities to make my list. So as amazing as they are, Tropicana 1st edition doesn't make my list because of the lack of fracs & $1s (I would need to see a full rack of fracs and 2 racks of $1s with the 5s, 25s & 100s to add them to my list). But I definitely can respect others calling sets like Olivia's, RVCL, Vineyard, or whatever else they deem as amazing to be their grail sets. To each their own.
I used to consider the Wynn Tourney set to be a grail set until we found out Steve Wynn was a pervert. Funny that changed things for me, but I still think it's one of the best looking sets of all time.

That Nevada Lodge lineup is fantastic. The five plays so well with the 25. WOW
