SOLD Apache Poker Chip Taj Mahal Set (6 Viewers)

[jayfiggy]

I have a set of near mint condition (used 3 times) Taj Mahal ceramics from Apache Poker Chips. I am not really sure what I can get for it… I paid $600 for 1000 chips, looking to get within $200 of my purchase in terms of value. Looking for any nice THC or RHC fracs, racks of IG $5 GO, or no GO. Also would be willing to trade for some Jumer Secondary $1 chips. Honestly open to a lot of trades, very new to Paulson chips, trying to build a nice set I can rely on for a cash game. Feel free to shoot dms or ask any questions, I will entertain
everything!
Breakdown:
x300 $1
x300 $5
x100 $20
x50 $100
x25 $500
x25 $1000
x200 .25c

Fair point

Fair point

Did you purchase these through Apache? These look like Cards mold chips through Tina and I wasn't aware that they sold these. I wonder if they have permission to use whoever created the art?

I know you are looking to trade. Would you consider selling instead?

Yes I did, really not sure about the art… maybe it’s dissimilar enough? I know of the Taj Mahal set but haven’t really looked at it.

Yes

How about $600 and I will pay shipping costs as well?

That works, PM me.

Nope.

IIRC, any work Tina does, she will sell to the general public as well so once you submit artwork there, anyone can purchase. Maybe @SeanGecko can correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Labrat]

Nope.

The artwork is definitely different if you look at each chip side-by-side.

How?

 

[Labrat]

I have both sets.

I'll take a picture.

 

[Labrat]

Top are from Justin, bottom are from Apache.

If you notice the POKER is larger and clearer on the top set and the edge spots are a little different.

Those look like cards mold to me and Tina probably "modified" the original design slightly so it wasn't a complete copy. I'm with Justin on this one.
Unless @Apache wants to chime in and state otherwise

 

[FordPickup92]

And I should say Tina, or whomever originally purchased the chips could have "modified" the design slightly

So, I definitely see how POKER is larger on the top. I wouldn't consider this a significant difference in the "art," but OK. My opinion is that someone did that just so it can't be billed as an exact copy. I don't see a noticeable difference in the edge spots and if you see something I don't, I feel like it can be written off as changes in the printing process (or however they do it).

It's 100% cards mold and at best, they borrowed the original designs and made a slight modification as a technicality.

I'm just saying they are different chips. And the difference between both sets and the amount of spinners makes me think it's a different blank, also.

 

[LeLe]

Spot the difference

 

[merkong]

Let’s step back and let this sale go through. I think buyer is going to like them and am always thrilled when someone transacts.

Moar Chips!

Made to purchases myself this morning!

I'm not arguing that they are different chips and whether or not each order used different blanks. I'm saying it's very clear that the artwork was reused.

 

[Labrat]

Well technically the very first version of the artwork was "reused."

But not sold for profit by the person who created it.

I'm really not into internet pissing matches, so this will be my last post. My entire point of the picture was to show that you may be getting different artwork if you order from different supplies.

FFS.

You must work for the Chip Guide.
