Great chips! I was able to get a set during the original TCR offering. I was not able to get any fracs, though. I did get a rack of Twain roulettes, and used those as fracs. I loved the chips, but they didn’t fit my current needs for a couple of reasons;
1) No real frac. The .50 chips were rarer, and those that got them didn’t wanna give them up. Also, this was before Gear was really doing his thing, and murder/re-label wasn’t done. If I knew the latter was gonna be more prevalent in the future of this hobby, and I could make my own fracs, I would’ve never gave them up.
2) The breakdown was more for a 1/2 game, and not a .25/.50 game; $1 x 100, $5 x 300, and $25 x 100. At the time my game played real small, and I never got a single $25 in play. This set was last in my rotation, as I had others that were a better fit for my needs.
So I sold them, and it’s the only set I’ve ever sold during my time in this hobby. I have been able to acquire a full sample set since then.
Thanks for the pics! They bring back a lot of memories! There were so many early TCR offerings that you don’t see much of anymore.
