What is the black box towards the right? Anyone know?
My wife said now all's I need is a stripper pole for the basement... Lol
I'm gonna have my wife send him my number tomorrow. I appreciate it though.I would guess it's a hole for a shuffler.
If you really want it I could message the guy and get his phone number. I'm sure its probably still available, only posted 4 days ago.
@Sprouty you MUST get it.@Sprouty
You better get the table too.......

Paper and they seem super cheap. No manufacturing markings at all.I’d also say not Chipco because no white ring and look a little glossier than most chips. Looking forward to seeing them in person. Are the cards paper or plastic?
Hit me up when you get your chips and I'll send you a deck.I ended up picking up the other set. Freaking love the design of these.
@Sprouty If you ever decide to come off one of the decks let me know.
Silver lining that you damaged the chips. 990 or so chips would drive me crazy. 2100 with extras would not. Congrats. Nice pick up for a nice price.So about these chips.....
I'm not sure who the manufacturer is. I know very little about ceramic chips and these are mostly a novelty to me. I don't think they are chipcos as I think chipcos might be a little more durable. They fit nicely in a Paulson rack but are a bit loose in a chipco rack.
So, in my haste to open them I flung a barrel all over the place in my basement, they are pretty slippery. The chips that hit the cement floor chipped.

So then my OCD kicked in and having damaged chips in a 1000 chip set wasn't gonna work for me. I hit up the seller to see what he had left and just put in an additional order. Once all said and done the set will work as a two table cash set with the following breakdown;
200 tan frac
300 blue $1
400 red $5
200 green $25
20-25 grey $100
So yeah, I know that is over 1000 chips now but I can adjust depending on the stakes, plus I have extras on top of that should I drop anymore.
I'm pretty sure the seller will be listing up two more 1000 chip sets in the future. I figured I would give a heads up to anyone who may be interested. The seller has been great to deal with.
Oh and @mike32 I'll have a sample set for ya on the 20th!
Edit: looks like he has already listed some up.

WOW $200? Idk if they shot a porno on it. Change the felt and hire a professional to wash the arm rest and that things still a Steal!View attachment 269321
Thats a nice table for $200. I’d buy the matching lamp legs from the Christmas story to hold it up!!![]()
Why am I not surprised...One of our league members (Kevin) actually played there.
For a short time they held charity poker at the wonderful "Flight Club" strip bar located in Inkster, MI. I think it was a really bad idea that hardly got off the ground. The boobs that were in charge did not realize how much trouble alcohol, naked chicks and gambling would bring to this fine establishment. The management really muffed it.
Triva - Back in the 60's this was a regular bar called the Skylark and it was where my dad wrote my mom's phone number on his matchbook, which eventually led to me!
I have a good story from there I'll save for a meet up. Woulda snap bought em. Great find!!
A couple years ago custom plastic flying aces cards were for sale on eBay. The seller claimed he was stiffed by the casino after making them. The charity casino closed abruptly, I drive by it almost every day and you can see the old sign still blacked out on the roof of the place. One of our league members (Kevin) actually played there.
Add on.

Sounds good! I might see what the seller has on hand as well but Saturday isn't too far off either.Mine are supposed to be here Saturday. I'll check out the reds and see what we have between the 2 of us.

I figured you'd probably get some cards, that's why I held off on sending anything. Nice looking chips!They actually came in today. Came with some of the cards as well, so I'm good on those. Thanks for your offer though.
As for the reds, all of mine definitely look like your newer reds (more orange-red than your original pink-reds).

Never use these, but thinking about selling to help fund some other sets I'm looking at. @Sprouty how have yours been holding up?
I don't use them at all. They are super slick and after chipping the ones that I dropped I didn't want to use them. They are a novelty to me and I have other sets that I like getting into rotation.
What's your breakdown?
