Genuinely wonder where the hoards of Indio Bingo Palace, Antique Rose and HP $100 are…

EDIT: Unless they define a hoard as anything > 20 chips known to exist, which is quite frankly…idiotic

To think this all started because someone at Chipguide felt they needed to burn a seller on future sales after overpaying for a chip…in their eyes.

Some of those are ridiculous. The Aztar 100, PCA's, bid deal, they have been out a long time, not rare, I guess that makes Shaffer @TheChipRoom a pimp

Anything that’s a chiproom release is ridiculous.

So someone from that site is just cruising the Gallery section and flagging anything in a PCF collection as a “hoard”?

Hey @lrapley any insight on the new Chipguide Hoard Alerts?

I fear the poor Aztar IN will never make the list...
@ChipGuide - throw a dog a bone

Unless they grabbed it from your picture? That's the only place I've seen all of those chips together.

I haven't noticed anything on the ChipGuide, I cant get past the Windows 98 header.

Whoever runs the @ChipGuide website created it on Geocities and still has an aol.com email address.

I'd love to know who the person posting these updates is and why they are doing it...

All I can figure is a chipguide editor with a grudge against PCF set collectors. Without numbers behind the alerts, they are useless. Some Chip Rack prices reflect the existence of PCF-type hoards, others don't. Somebody is trying to turn chipguide into something more than a "here is a casino and here are the chips they had", and they are failing miserably. I can't take the effort seriously until they find one vendor, just one, with one mostly unknown hoard of chips that they are selling onto the open market at a trickle, and pushing THAT information.

I'd love to know what the standards are for qualifying as a hoard (spoiler alert: there aren't any)? I noticed none of the Binion's Horseshoe chips were listed as "hoard alerts" despite a few vendors on eBay selling thousands of them at a consistent pace over the years.

See they have the nugget $5s already.. need to add the Artichoke Joe's horse book $1s also.. hoarding the f**k out of those

oh and these beautiful beasts..

It comes across that way but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. Also, if anyone was paying attention anyway, I’d argue it hurts singles dealers more than PCF/set collectors - we’re setting the prices of all the popular chips here anyway as opposed to let’s say « The Chip Rack ».

Anyway…What a gigantic waste of time: no numbers, no source, as always the info is unverifiable. It’s low quality content, I agree with you @FDLmold. I use the query facility regularly and I appreciate the work that has gone into building the database but this new thing is pointless

Because that’s what it’s all about, convincing everyone the chip market is bogus and discouraging any further investment or new members.
