He is not really selling this flyer. He used one of his free auction listing to promote the show. Several sellers have done this in the past.

Makes sense, also I got scammed, lied, and blackmailed from him by the past just FYI.

I’m new to the hobby and never been to one of these events before, so bear with me please.

I’m going to be in Vegas for my birthday coincidentally while this show is taking place. I’m a casual collector who’s goal is to get one $1 chip (I usually go with my favorite looking one) from each property I’ve visited over the years.

Will I be able to go to this event and buy single chips that I’m looking for? Is there a big selection? Obviously prices vary by chip, but are the prices usually pretty reasonable? Nothing I’ll be looking for will be overly rare or limited, I don’t think.

Here’s some examples of some chips I’d love to pick up at the show, if available:

http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip_search.php?ccg=018691

http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip_search.php?ccg=015918

http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip_search.php?ccg=000392

http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip_search.php?ccg=001568

http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip_search.php?ccg=019084

Are these the kinds of chips I’d be able to find at a show like this? In good condition, hopefully.

Apologies if dumb questions. Like I said, very new to the hobby and not sure how these types of shows work/what kind of selection I can expect.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Yes you will be able to attend even without preregistering. Depends on what day you will be attending will be how much the admission is.

Recommend you go to the website and look at all the information that has already been posted. There is also some videos on the page that can give you an idea of what it will look like on the floor.

I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you’re already in Las Vegas. The chips you are looking for should be easy to find at the convention and reasonably priced, based on what I have experienced. Several vendors will have a bunch of more recent and live chips that you seek.

Here’s a picture of the floor from a couple years ago. Many vendors have organized binders and some have piles/containers you can dig through. Some have really expensive chips and some have more common items, but most have a mix. It’s really a lot of fun, I think. And if you like chips, there’s nothing like it.

Super helpful and gave me a great idea of the setup and vibe I can expect! I think I’m definitely gonna make my way over there while I’m in town. Never been to South Point either and been meaning to check it out, so a good excuse to kill two birds with one stone. Thanks for the reply! Cheers.

So far so good for Hotel Nevada $25 hunt at the convention. Most I have ever found at one time. Only 2 more for a barrel!

 

[PokerDogDoc]

Late to the party and been out of touch for a while…

Is there a way for me to ask any folks attending to keep an eye out for a specific chip for me?

Willing to pay a finders fee (asking with reimbursement of chip cost and mailing cost).

Too late now but @Okku had a thread going for that.

Tina has made her way into the bargain bins this year…

Along with some legit vintage clays, I see

One of my favorite convention chips. It’s too bad these aren’t available by the rack. At least none that I’ve ever seen

 

[PokerDogDoc]

Too late now but @Okku had a thread going for that.

Rats, for some reason I couldn’t find @Okku ‘s thread at the time.

Been looking for 2 years for this illegal chip from my old stomping ground of Jeffersonville, IN to get closer to completing my collection since moving away from there. Maybe I’ll try posting a wanted ad here again, though I’ve not had any luck on PCF nor on my rare forays to the Chip Forum.

There was a table/vendor that had a vast collection of only illegals. I don’t collect them or know anything about them, so I didn’t pay much attention, but maybe someone else has their contact info for you.
