eBay find plus ultrasonic cleaner = yay (1 Viewer)

[RainmanTrail]

I grabbed these off of eBay for about $60 thinking they would probably clean up nicely, in hopes that they might turn into some good fracs for my Yosemite Inn set. I ran them through the ultrasonic cleaner, took a magic eraser to the edges, applied some oil, set them out to dry, then dried them off with a towel. I probably would have paid $150+ for these if they were in the condition they're in now! These are PERFECT for my Yosemite set!

100 more yellow fracs "to be" headed your way Mr @Gear (y) :thumbsup:

Love this set. What's the breakdown when all said and done again?

I'm still figuring that out. I took out a sample set for my display case and traded away a few singles, and picked up the 25c and $1 chips for my sample set, so that's almost complete now.

I'm planning to turn these into either a 500 or 600 pc small stakes set with 100 fracs, 200 $1s, 150 $5s, 40 $20s, and 10 $100s. Which would leave me with a few spare 5s and possibly a few spare $100s depending on whether or not I want to try to complete the barrel of $100s. It will all depend on what I can find at the Chip Convention this summer. If I can track down about 5 more $100s at reasonable prices, then I'll fill in my barrel of those. However, if they're going for $60+ per chip like the one that's currently on eBay, then I'm not buying them. We'll see... keeping my fingers crossed. Right now, I have about 169 $5s (15 or so have flea bites that I've removed), 42 $20s, and 15 $100s of the originals, plus this rack of fracs-to-be. Finding the right chips for the $1s is proving to be extremely difficult. It may take years for me to find something that works well. I either need modern inlayed THC light blue chips with non color clashing 312 or 3DS14 edge spots, or hotstamped chips with the same restrictions. So far, there is only one chip that fits that description that I've found in the entire mogh database, and it's not very ideal. This is going to be very challenging! There's also a dark blue chip that would work, but it appears to be nearly unobtainable, and @softchewy is after them as well.

Those look great, I wanted to jump on these but I am glad that they went to a good home.

I'm up to ~70 total LVH now.. 43 in hand and another 28 should be headed my way (really should be 80 total, but either misplaced 10 or they didn't get delivered to me - still trying to figure it out).
