The 1993 BARGE Chip Set

This was the very first BARGE chip set, created by Steve Jacobs. A 300 chip home set of these chips was presented to the 1993 BARGE NLHE Champ, Roy Hashimoto. Each attendee at BARGE 1993 also received a purple chip.

A few of the chips came in the form of refrigerator magnets or on key chains. In addition, Michael "kidZee" Zimmer used the artwork to produce decks of playing cards.

After BARGE was over, Steve Jacobs predicited: "Sorry to say I don't think any more BARGE chips will ever be made. They were simply too much trouble." Good thing he was wrong!
