Living in Germany certainly limits your access to great off forum deals.

Edit:
Wait, now that I think about it...
I did manage to snipe a pretty great deal on a French site with the help of @Eriks !

i hope this isn't a dumb question, but where do you guys find impressive sets , if not on eBay or here? craigslist? FB marketplace luck?

 

[LeLe]

Fucked I wish deals are that easy to find around here

I only got one and legit find last year, they cost me less than half a rack of those exclusive professional relabel $5k classic

There’s is no $1 denominations in this find so I overlabel the $1k as my new $1

I wonder if anyone can top @inapinch in 2023.

It's too bad there wasn't something like a small group that found an entire CA cardroom. Posting photos of racks on racks of the entire find would be pretty epic.

Pretty sure the Belle's are untoppable, IMO.

Clear frontrunner. But be careful and don't want to rush to judgement

You've been waiting to use that, haven't you? My opinion the Belle's are the belle of the year, shaped, leaded, playable, and no other sets of them out there.

Proceeding to put foot in mouth...

 

[Grimace]

I found theses. Forgot about them cause they were too far away. Found them again. Found a new member willing to pick them up and ship them to me. Took 2-3 months but likely won’t make another find like this.

PCF Silk Road IYKYK

 

[Bluegrass Poker]

My last couple auction finds.

Holy moly congrats. That is insane!


Would also be great to hear some backstory on some of the finds! Like where, how and of course price is always fun

Did we ever get some closure on the old man on the porch deal?
Did krish pull it off?

I wish I had an enticing story to tell (“so I won at poker and then wandered into a mysterious stripclub and….”)

But, nothing too crazy. I was visiting family and after sharing my story of touring Mississippi trying to find a playable casino set, my cousin reached out to show me his chips. He found them after Katrina from a private seller after he returned home from touring in Iraq. Been in the closet ever since. I made an offer and he accepted. Flew home with them in my carry on.

My wife has been pissed about the cost, hence why I’ve been selling off a lot of my incomplete MS chips lately. Compromise

Is there a thread with pictures?
Can't make out the name to look for it through the search.

@bernielomax how TF did you find all those?!?! Can you share your methods? I've had only 3 off forum scores. From few years ago. Two from offer up and one from Craigslist. And for two of them I had to drive to Vegas. These are amazing finds.

What an insane coincidence that your cousin had a set of these laying around, lol. Don't think I've ever seen a playable quantity before, but maybe there are other sets out there?
Anyways, congrats. Amazing chips. I'd say you can happily sell off most other MS chips after finding that epic little set.
