Hi everyone, I haven't been having the best luck trying to build the set I want atm but I did see some other sets that were really nice like these. Condition should be used but in good condition. Open to mixed cash sets as well. For example, I do like the Cleveland 1s.

The numbers I'm looking at are roughly:

200 x .25
200 x $1
100 x $5

I have considered China Clays and they might be my other option if this doesn't pan out. I have an US address so no worries about international shipping for you.

Edit: Not into the Cincinatti's.

Edit 2: Might even mimic @Irish 's awesome starburst set with matching casino 1s so drop me messages if you have atleast a barrel of a starburst (not overstamped) and/or ~15 of a particular casino $1 chip. To understand more about what I'm referring to, here's a pic from Irish's thread:

Step #1 is to buy some $5’s. They’re the toughest to land.

YES this is actually what hit me in the loo earlier. If I do go the varied starbursts route, I have no idea what to use as the 5s since the colour should(in my head) be something unrelated to any particular starburst or casino $1.

Sorry, my post might not have been directly related to your suggestions but what $5 to get with the starbursts has been bothering me. Wonder how @Irish solved it.
 
You will probably get contacted by a few guys with chips to sell. Most will be fair offers. If something doesn't feel right, feels overpriced, ect....feel free to post and ask their value, or even PM me, or someone else.

Already had somewhat sketchy offers that I need to check out lol.. Thanks for the offer!
 
Please do hit me with any cash set combos you might have! I'm open to almost anything at the moment.

Only thing I ask is that if possible, add pics as I might be not be able to identify all the chips correctly without doing some googling (which I'm fine with, just want to avoid any possible confusion).
 
I can also put together a small set of mint-to-near mint undenominated THC starbursts in 4-5 hot colors, made of chips not included in the above sale. I haven’t fully decided whether to sell those, and would want higher prices than in the current sale, but PM me if interested in pics and discussing it.

(These obviously wouldn’t have the chip denominations mentioned in the OP, but for a private, regular game personally I don’t feel the need for that. Players remember the colors and how much they are worth pretty quickly. After the first half-hour, it becomes pretty automatic. After the first couple of games, second nature. I also prefer non-denominated chips because you can change the stakes later if necessary, and it’s easier to find additional chips which match. But to each his own...)

Simply use a board and write the color values on it.

Actually I played poker using dice chips without denominations for years and the group had no issues with remembering the values at all so definitely an option.

I think I've been spoiled now due to all the beautiful options available. Not to mention the allure of building a mixed set that somehow works together.
 
I have a set of Kenmore Lanes ASM chips on the A-mold:
$0.25 x497
$1 x198
$5 x159

And while the quarters are in good condition the 1s & 5s are very casino used so probably not what you're looking for.
