Hi all,
Looking for a rack of Casablanca $5s, the pink 218s, like this:

PM me if you've got a rack in need of a good home.
Thanks for looking ;)
 
I did yesterday, right before the thread was closed… Unfortunately, he was already working out details for a trade just before I pm'd him.:(
 
Maybe someone can help me out a little here… Am I simply looking for yet another white whale, or have I just gone about my search all wrong? :unsure:

…and a quiet… bump….

I tried this project a while back and it was a fail
 
Ughhh… Those are not very encouraging words…. :oops:
Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a more pleasant outcome.. :unsure:;)
 
You are many members deep in line I am afraid....
Never say never but you will likely have to be patient.
 
I guess that's what happens when one hesitates..
Should've just said "yes" imediately when mrwitti first posted, rather than first asking about shipping.
I have no problem being patient ;)
 
Yep, PCF mantra, repeat after me:

pounce now, ask later....pounce now, ask later....pounce now, ask later.....
 
I don't know what plans you have for these chips, but another option might be to work with Gear and put $5 labels on some different pink chips.

These guys are fairly obtainable - at least much more so than those pink Casa $5's:

The plan was/is pretty straight forward: Mixed set. Use them as is. Get as many in play as possible… and be sure that they all end up in front of me by the end of the night! :D:ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

While relabeling something else is an option… And no doubt, from what I've seen, Gear does absolutely phenomenal work… I just can't get myself to truly consider relabeling a casino chip.. At least not in a situation such as this -one where there are certainly loads of different casino $5s available.
Idk (for me, personally) I guess I just feel like it's "defacing" the chip… Almost like erasing it's history. Being that most chips making it into the population are certainly "limited" in their availability/quantity to begin with, (again personally speaking) it would be a shame if one were searching for a specific chip, only to find that the entirety of the "stock" had all since been relabeled as something different. (I know, that's a pretty extreme and unlikely thought, but I suppose anything is possible.)

That being said… That AS snapper is pretty darn… well… Pretty!! ;) And recently finding out what it's "history" truly is, I could almost consider relabeling those… Then again, taking that exact history into consideration I would also argue: how could you consider relabeling something that came from (what I think) is an absolutely AMAZING story?
Sorry, got sidetracked… The fact that there are multiple versions of Casablanca $5s out there (some rarer than others obviously) I definitely couldn't convince myself to relabel a chip to create a chip that already actually exists. That's simply an impostor in my book.

Anyway, think I probably should've lessened my response, this is merely the classified section, not a main forum thread… Sorry 'bout that.

So, to that point: Yes @BSteck that is definitely an option and I most certainly appreciate your response! TYVM :)
 
If it helps you sleep any better, a lot of those AS snappers were purchased with the explicit intent of transforning them into something else (typically quarters). Feel free to deface at will. :)

I'm sure they were… Seems that snappers, in general, are quite often the first to achieve new identities.
I definitely will sleep easier now. Haha:p
 
Yikes! That's a while! Thinking I might need to settle for something different… for the time being. :banghead:
