If anyone else is interested in a HSI primary cash set split, I am interested in at least the $5's

Don’t be afraid of a flattening project.... It turns out a lot better than you’d expect. Good luck!I'll go through all of mine and pick out the worst ones, but upon initial inspection almost none of the barrels are sitting flat with no wobbles.
I'll try the stacking method, but I don't think I can stack as high as @Jeevansluck though, waaayy too wobbly.
I picked up some ceramic blanks from BRPro as well in case I need to do some clamp flattening.
Other than the warped chips, they all look great and have sharp edges! Very beautiful
Thanks all!

Yup! I have ceramic blanks on the way! Right now i have the boxes laying on their side, I will leave it like that for a few days and see what happens.
If that doesn't work I will go with the gentle heat (heating pad) and clamp method.
I also have a clamping rack from @One Eyed Dollar 3d3p site that I just ordered so that I don't screw anything up haha!

I’ve had great success with a heating pad (folded over so chips get heat on each side) for 10 minutes, 10 chips at a time. After 10 minutes of heat, clamp with ceramic spacers in between each chip in cheap hand trigger clamps from harbor freight.
Leave for a couple hours to cool.
Completely flat chips.

Interesting. What heating pad do you use?

Please do share images of this! Would like to try this method out.

It’s just a generic pad, about 10”x14”. It says on it that high is 142 to 168 degrees Fahrenheit. It tels you avoid sharp folds, so I rolled the edge a bit as I folded it over.
I got the heat pad idea from your post in the other HSI thread. I like this approach mostly because putting chips in the oven scares me!
I have a bessey 12" clamp so I plan to use that with this method. I'm sure it works wonders!
Have you had the chance to check if your chips changed in diameter at all? As in did they get "squished" even slightly? And how much pressure do you use for the clamp? I assume just enough pressure to close all gaps between chips and no more?

To not derail this thread further, I decided to post my method in the flattening warped chips thread here in thread 'Flattening Warped Chips':
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/flattening-warped-chips.3903/post-1344277
Btw, I have seen no I’ll effects (“squishing” or otherwise). However, please test your setup on one chip first. YMMV!

The links that are active have stock, except for the IOC $100. So that makes:
HSI $1 pri
HSI $1 sec
Lady Luck $25
HSI $500 sec
HSI pri set
HSI sec set
IOC $5
IOC $25
WSOP Chipco set
WSOP Paulson set
WSOP Paulson sample set

One has to actually try random numbers in your cart for each, then narrow it down to which QTY throws the sold out message and which one doesn’t. Takes a bit of effort but you can get it down to the exact amount by the time you’re done.

Does anyone know why this sale has the dead links to let you know what has sold out, but the other HSI sale threads don't?

I don’t think there’s many pri $25 HSI left. I tried adding more than 1-2 chi’s and it said they’re sold out.

I think this was recently done by Jim to avoid any confusion as to what is available and what isn't. After tinkering with the cart here's what is presumably still available:
Individual Chips
- HSI 1a Secondary - 7,983
- HSI New Primary - 3,417
- Lady Luck $25 Secondary - 2,025
- HSI $25 Primary (New) - 2
- HSI $500 Secondary - 81
- IOC KC $5 - 11,154
- IOC KC $25 - 3,142
- HSI Primary Cash Set ($649.99) - 11
- HSI Secondary Cash Set ($699.99) - 18
- HSI ChipCo WSOP Set ($199.99) - 1
- HSI Paulson WSOP Set ($849.99) - 4
- HSI Paulson WSOP Sample Set ($59.99) - 83
No guarantee that these are accurate, but as of this post, any quantities entered greater than those mentioned above result in getting the "Sold Out" message.
Just picked up a HSI secondary cash set, so that makes one less available can’t wait till they arrive

Nice! I’ll just update it once a week for those still wanting stuff by trying to punch in new amounts. Good time to test the theory now actually by trying to get 18, see if it says sold out.
I do think inventory is being added to some items. I was tracking HSI secondary sets before I bought and (unless I did something wrong) the inventory increased at one point.

I wish he would add HSI $5's. Currently only available in sets.

Secondary chips that never left the cage end up faded and warped
My guess is some brainiac saw fit to store them on top of a space heater (or similar)
Survivor racks auctioned maybe?? (If any)

So this is interesting. A Horseshoe Baltimore chip somehow found its way into my order. Kinda neat imo

Not faded but a reaction that occurs with that particular colour. It can also be cleaned with good result.Secondary chips that never left the cage end up faded and warped

As far as being warped, it seems to be similar to the $1a chips (based on what I've seen here, they may be a bit better).
This is specifically the secondary snappers.
I've been tied up this week but hope to try running them through the Ultrasonic Tuesday. Based on how the yellowing comes off in my hands (checking with UV lights) I am hopeful that a lot will come off.

Whitch now makes me wonder if there’s a possibility of HSI chips being introduced at the Baltimore casino.

I can't imagine going HSI->Baltimore as easily as Baltimore->HSI. It's far easier for a cashier to notice the presence of a new color in a stack than for a cashier to notice the absence of a color in a stack.Whitch now makes me wonder if there’s a possibility of HSI chips being introduced at the Baltimore casino.
