Looked at silver-state-treasures.com site.....the standard inlay chip replaced the giant inlays in 2013.

Here's a pic. Mostly in average casino used condition, but there are some in pretty nice shape yet. The giant inlays were definitely well used.

Interesting. The Chip Guide shows that the THC mold giant inlays were produced in 2001, and the THC mold standard inlays were produced in 2013. Based on what's out there (and the condition of each), I'd lean towards that being accurate. Probably more THC chips left because they haven't been harvested yet. ;)

Sounds promising!
 
Thanks @jbutler this works much better than a 39mm rack

You're more than welcome.

Love those jetons!

Yeah, now that I have a rack for them I want to fill it. But I also have a rack of yellow $20's. All of which will more than likely never see the felt in the tiny stakes game that we play.

I probably will go out Feb-March if anyone is interested in some.

So, I just happen to have a ready to mail package with a stamp on it and everything containing a $1, $2.50, and $5. It was going to be a replacement for lost mail, but the recipient had it, just thought it was spam mail and figured it out after I was about to mail a 2nd package. If you would like a sample set for $10 (F&F), PM me and I will send paypal email, slap a new label on it, and mail it out.

hopefully quoting myself will show the picture, if not go to page 2 or 3

Thanks,
BiGGyT

Decided to go to Bally's and New York New York and try get some straight from the cashier. Told them straight up that I wanted them for my home game in Kansas. Bally's sent me to the poker room and after some discussion they agreed, I told the gal I would giver an extra $20 to sort some nicer ones, she agreed and said to give her 15 min. Done. Gave same story to NYNY cashier and he called the manager over, and manager said he would go in back and check to see if they had any NIB......they did. Awesome. Tipped them $20 as well. Here they are. The Bally's are going to need a bath but are excellent shape.

Good job. Never hurts to ask. Are any of those spotted with birds?
 
For anyone that goes to Vegas, I'd love some sharp edged Mirage $5 chips, provided they keep the candy caner version. I'd take 5 to 20 at a time. Promotionals are fine.

New mission, someone needs to harvest these, saw them on eBay, awesome chips. Not sure if they are current - chipguide says 2009 active and nothing since. I assume drop chips so probably not easy to get.

great for your $1000 relabel or other. Yes, $4/chip is pricey at cost, but hell of a lot less than the costs of $1000 chips.

I plan on trying while I'm there.
 
Dear lord! 12 racks? I might not even take that much cash with me! I better have some serious run good in me. Seriously though, I'll see what I can do for you. I might have to harvest some for myself too!

Edit: Obviously, gorgeous chips.
 
I'd be prepared to send money to the harvester in advance as long as they were members of PCF with known reputation.

Yup. I'm hoping someone else jumps in before June and offers to do this. If for no other reason than the chips are wearing more and more every day.
