...I set the starting bid at $4k. If they don't sell, I won't lose any sleep.

Best. Line. Ever.

It's a good thing I don't like/use $1s in our games...otherwise I would have had to get involved in this sh*& show. Good luck to all

 

[Heavyball]

Same here Ken. My group has played cash once in 4 years now. There’s always hope!

It won't be the same without you Ken!

Good luck to all involved in this epic auction. Here's a sample set pRoN to keep it going... (thanks for the tip on the high denoms @RocAFella1 )

I’m away from home. Flying home from Boston. This is my last pic to post. Taken with my Moment macro lens and an iPhone. Kind of artsy. Enjoy

Can someone explain why these are so valuable?

They are very nice especially the $1's! Hurricane Katrina destroyed the casino in 2005. They are rare and in this quantityvery hard to find!

 

[asam2006]

Leonard you really started something.

History, rarity, leaded, and just look at THE $1’s!!!

Similar reasoning as to why this is valuable, but you can also play with the chips!

Safe to assume the wedding is off Josh? @flipupchipup

It's hard to say this without sounding like a dick. What could possibly be said that would help you understand? Look at the pics and the breakdown, combined with rarity and there you have it. These ain't run-of-the-mill, boring, RHC Jack chips. An all-time classic imo.

I guess I get that. But everyone is talking about the 1's and I guess I don't see what's do great about the 1's. Every hobby has its 'Mona Lisa'. I guess for chips I expected something different.

Was wondering that myself.

Like with any luxury items that all have about the same functionality (dice or mint paulsons) it's all about preference. Personally though, I'm on the GC $1 band wagon all the way!

Ok, now this might derail a little, but please post pictures of $1 chips that are nicer than these (maybe post a new thread). The GC $1's have an awesome spot pattern, and colors that absolutely pop! There isn't a $1 I've seen that would look as good on the table in big piles.

Imo it's about personal preference. I think the 25s look great. 1s...meh.

I don't think there is any explaining. You either see it, or you don't. I SEE IT!

I don’t know...they're great, but they’re worth $9300, $9400 tops.

Even though I think the GCs are spectacular, I totally understand where you are coming from. The PCA secondary set is extremely close, minus the $1s, but the PCA set has incredible fracs. I can’t imagine paying what this set is going to go for, but if I was a mega baller like so many on here are, I might have a different opinion. Nonetheless, the set is awesome.

 

[Leonard]

IMO the attraction is only partly in the fact that it is a beautiful set. The history (Katrina, etc) and the scarcity do the rest.

I just wanted to be the first to bid 10,000. I doubt I’ll win but that’s ok.

It would be funny if this was the winning bid. You may have to use the $1s as $1K chips
