For your consideration, we have the following Near Mint rack of Paulson THC chips with a unique custom inlay:

This is part of a set of miscellaneous THC solids that @Jackstraw very kindly helped me acquire. From the original owner's description, these were custom-ordered from Paulson way back when they had brick-and-mortar stores catering to the public. The official Paulson colour is "Grey", and they are all on the THC mold in Excellent-to-Near-Mint condition. The inlay design has the words "DeLorean Owners Association" and "Las Vegas Weekend". I don't know if the chips were made specifically to commemorate a fan event or not - the owner never really clarified this point to me. Otherwise, they are non-denominated. They have been ultrasonic cleaned but not oiled. I do not believe they are leaded because they are normal weight.

I have set the reserve price at $150, which is fairly typical of this type of chip in this great a condition, given their unique inlay. Every dollar of the winning bid of this auction will be added to the prize pool of my upcoming charity fundraising event that will be held in the latter half of August of this year, so 100% of this auction's proceeds will end up going to a registered Canadian charity determined by the winner of the casino tournament held at that time. Nothing shall be held back for expenses. Note that the winner will need to pay for shipping, but I will ship anywhere in the world at Canada Post rates, with optional insurance.

Bid early, and bid often! A deserving organization awaits!

That's pretty cool. I still remember a guy on my old recycling route had a delorean in his garage. I had to stop and talk to him. He was in the process of restoring it but was complaining how hard it is to find authentic parts and was going to give up...:(
Such a sweet car.
 
That onesie is hilarious! Couldn't find a "Back to the Future" themed one with Christopher Lloyd as Doc on it? "Great Scott!"

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big BTTF fan too, but I also love the styling of the original car (sans flux capacitor), DMC logo, and the whole John Delorean story.

She'll get some BTTF swag too... eventually! :) :tup:
