One of the items I was selling at last year’s Coverville 500 Concert was a set of six Coverville 500 poker chips. Each chip represented one of the artists in the show: Jonathan Coulton, Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine, Chance & The Choir, Natalie Gelman, The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd, and the host for the evening, Dan Klass.

Ever since the concert, I’ve still selling them in sets of six. But today I counted, and I have just 20 sets left. And a couple of people had suggested that I actually sell a set of chips large enough for a group of folks to play a game of poker!
So today I put all the chips together into one 120-piece set, and I’m putting the whole shebang on eBay. And I’m not setting a minimum, so someone could walk away with these pretty inexpensively. And these I’ll ship anywhere in the world to the winning bidder. Here’s a link to the auction:
If you’re interested, please make an bid, no matter how small. You must might end up with a piece of Coverville history.
Poker chips, or poker tokens, are used to keep track during gambling and replace money during the game. Clay composite chip sets were popular in the early 1800s and today are rarely used mainly because they are more expensive and tend to break easily.
