With a tip from a good friend and some very lucky timing I was able to purchase the poker chip business(including art work), Holdem Poker Chips from the estate of Michael Patton. I have been trying desperately to get through to the family without luck so that I could accompany this introduction with a story of Michael Patton's life. Unfortunately that hasnt materialized. Michael wasn't married, had no children and was survived by his mother and 4 siblings. I'm hopeful that at a later date I will be able to bring everyone his life story which is an important part of the history of our chipping community. Waiting for this information is why I've waited so long to let everyone know.
With regards to the chips I plan on doing my best to keep them in sets. I want to apologize in advance that it will be a slow process for me to list the larger sets and quantities of chips as I work very long hours. Couple that with the fact that I'm already trying to horde sets that I want to keep. I had to get my wife involved on this purchase and she thinks these were all bought for resale. Ha ha yah right....
I will post pictures of some of the sets as I have time though you can find many of them in Michaels own thread here:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/memories-of-older-stuff-collecting-dust-these-days.9023/
Here are chip sets that I plan on listing over the next few months:
Mardi gras V2 a(not listed) and b (listed).
Oasis club trk
Key west (listed)
Nevada jacks tourney listed cash not listed
Speakeasy (not listed)
High roller(listed)
Matsui cic (listed)
Donkey kgb (not listed)
Some sets that I'm currently locking away. Pictures don't do them justice, especially Samurai Palace and Riverboat:
Martini Club
Riverboat
Protege
Samurai Palace
In this thread you are free to ask questions, post pictures or share any stories you have of Michael Patton and Holdem Poker Chips. I'll do my best to answer.
Thank you,
