Wanted Grand Casino Gulfport $1s - will buy singles (1 Viewer)

[jbutler]

Looking to find 25 of these. I'm thinking I'll probably have to resort to picking up singles on eBay, but thought I'd drop a hopeful line here and see if anyone wants to sell me any extras they may have floating around.

Thanks in advance!

You mean HINcKleY? Its pretty dirty. Off a blackjack table.

Founds a barrel. Thanks @BGinGA!

Could still use 3 or 4 if anyone wants to spare a few.

Those $1s are the nuts. I'm curious, what are you doing with 25 of them?

Inlay replacement by @Gear to use as a $500 chip in a cash set that didn't originally have a $500 denom.

Are those RHC 1's still in play right now? I've been going up to St Croix Casino in Danbury. It's been a year or two since I went to Hinckley and I honestly can't remember what chips are active there right now.

Nice cash set! Replace some cool $1000s and you're good to go!

Doubt I'll need any $1Ks. Unlikely that the $500s will ever see play since I'll have 80 $100s, but what the hell, right?

Right, but if you do use up all 20 $500s, those $1000s might come in handy...baller.

I've only had a $500 in one cash set and it was really only ever used as a badge of honor, never out of necessity. I also have some OCD reasons for this chip as discussed in another thread. The $5 and $25 are both 4D14 chips and so I was stuck either finding a black 4D14 with a shaped inlay or departing from the spot pattern for the $100 chip.

I chose the latter so long as I could also find a similar spotted $500 chip because I thought there would be some balance in having two chips in a row with one spot pattern and then two chips in a row with another. And now I'm going to be doing a solid frac, so the balance will be complete:

$.50 - Solid
$1 - Solid
$5 - 4D14
$25 - 4D14
$100 - Whatever this 12 stripe spot pattern in
$500 - Ditto

I'm sure these will work great as 500s. I guess they would work great as anything really, considering the awesome spots. Bold move with inlay replacement, but it is maybe too hard to find playable quantities using them as 1s anyways? Awesome chips like these needs to be used! I'm sure they will turn out really nice.

Thanks for the kind words! And yeah, very tough to find playable quantities, though both @Leonard and @k9dr have built beautiful playable sets with these.

By the way, somehow I'm dense enough not to have realized until just now that the original Grand Casino Gulfport $100 is very near to the $100 I'll be using in this set:

 

[Dwight87]

Wow, you're replacing the inlays of some holy grails. I hope you're not asking @Gear to dig them out and just covering them with your custom labels, ala Picasso or Van Gogh.

 

[jbutler]

I hope you're not asking @Gear to dig them out...

The world is a grim and depressing place. Sometimes we have to learn to live with what is rather than what we wish could be.

 

[Dwight87]

Come on, man!! Really? Think how great it will be for the person who ends up with your chips after you past and discovers that underneath your custom labels are masterpieces of the chip world (and way more valuable as well).

Yeah I'm almost certain they haven't changed them from my picture. That was for black jack. The poker room has a slightly different chip.

 

[Mr. Cheese]

I wonder what kind of condition they are in currently? If you make it there anytime soon let me know if you think of it.
