Dunes Tournament Set

Also not quite complete, but it's probably not going to change drastically in the near future. I thought I would be able to edit post #2, but I guess I let to much time pass.

This set began a little over a year ago with the purchase of a 300 Dunes uncirculated chip set from @Spinettis Gaming. This was my first set...where it all started. I loved them, but as soon as I got them home, I realized that I wanted to eventually make it a truly playable heirloom tournament set. About a month or two later, I was able to make a deal with @vapourtrail1 for his Dunes set (Thank you Vapor!), and overnight the size of my set almost quadrupled. Then over the next 10 months, it was monthly orders to Chris at Spinetties, either over the phone or in person. I added another rack of $100s, a rack of $1000 Bacs, 4 barrels of $5000 Bacs & 1 barrel of $20 Bacs. All ordered 1 or 2 barrels at a time, as my budget permitted. Thanks for your help & patience Chris! Not as epic as @ovo or @Jackstraw sets (Respect), but this one is mine & I'm pretty sure that I'll be its steward forever.

Inventory (as of Nov 2019)
400 - $5
400 - $25
400 - $100
100 - $500
100 - $1,000 Baccarat
80 - $5,000 Baccarat
2 - $25,000 Baccarat
20 - $20 Baccarat (envisioned as bounty or rebuy chips)
1502 - Total

Eventually, I'd like to add a 2nd rack of $500s and 18 more $25Ks to complete a barrel. A couple of racks of $1s would be nice, but those opportunities are very few and far between.

Paris Set

I love the Paris casino in Las Vegas, and have been working on this set for almost a couple of years. All chips have been harvested by me personally. Those of you that have harvested Paris chips know how difficult and time consuming it is. Additionally, I'm VERY picky when is comes to condition. I would estimate that only 20% of the $1s that I've harvested actually made the cut. The other ~80% were returned to the cage. I've sorted through a lot of Paris $1s. At the very bottom is a photo of a random rack of $1s to show the average condition of the $1s & $5 in the set. Until the casino re-orders $25, I will have to be content with 1 rack of 20yr old, fairly rough RHCs.

Along the way, I also picked up a barrel of various pin-up LE $5s here & there. Why? For me, the pin-up girls and Paris seem like a really natural fit, plus what's life without whimsy.
