Straight Flush
Sold as a lot: Four classic and highly sought-after vintage TRK chips. These chips need no introduction—they are prized by collectors and would make an excellent addition to any collection.
The El Rancho $25 quarterpie is one of my absolute favorite chips. This one, like virtually all examples available in the wild, exhibits some signs of minor damage from the fire that destroyed the casino. It is, however, in better shape than most, and the damage is only apparent on one edge: the orange quarter pie to the left as you look at the chip. It looks worse in the picture than in person, and faces up on both sides beautifully.
The Tropicana 50¢ is slightly used, with minor flea bites. But it displays very well and is stunning in person.
The Showboat 50¢ is in near mint condition. It is perhaps my favorite chip ever produced. It took me years to find it and when I did, I found two.
Finally, a slightly used Pick Hobson 50¢.
Sold below my cost and below market. Shipping (first class bubble mailer) to US addresses included. PayPal F&F.
$150.
