Anyone able to vouch for this member?

CHEAP!!!

Nice! I’ve never seen that color frac before.

They had many different options when group buys were done on the suits mold home line
Apache might have ordered those back in the CT days

Hello all. Thanks, @HaRDHouSeiNC You are correct about the $0.25 chips. I was one of the lucky ones who bought 200 of the $0.25 chips when Apache was able to get them. I have had them all this time in the boxes and just couldn't bring myself to play them when Paulson stopped selling to the public market. For reference, I really haven't been that active on this forum. Watching all the chip P0rn got me so excited, I bought this set from Apache, then decided I wouldn't play them. I then bought a set of the Day of the Dead chips from BRPoker. I have a few threads in my profile from Gene aka @ABC Gifts and Awards about those chips. I seem to recall that ABC and BRPoker are affiliated. AT Grimaldi isn't my real name, just a screen name I use for forums like this one and a few fishing ones mainly. I assure you, these chips are real as am I and the auction. If it makes people feel more comfortable, send me a PM and I'll reply with my phone number so we can talk. I do understand my lack of activity and such a rare and high auction coming out of the blue may make some pause. I get that.

Here are a few past threads I have been on in the past:

I don’t believe it’s absolutely necessary, but that paper would be better served next to the chips up for auction. GLWA.

Considering the auction price is already at $5,000... it seems the current market seems to be responding quite well to the starting price.

Keep up with the times old man.

I knew I should have posted this after my bid.

 

[Sneakygreek]

Wowzers!

 

[ovo]

When they were released they were about 1.20 a piece, it's been a long time, anyone know how much they started at ?

This should be required for all sales!
