I understand this may be a long shot, but is there anyone who picked up a couple sample sets that would be willing to sell me JUST one of the $25k chips? I didn't want all the others that came with the sample set, but would love a single $25k chip!

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I was under the impression that relabeling the snappers isn't really a good option due to the larger inlay size. @Gear can correct me if I'm wrong.
It's not great, but might be possible.
Generally speaking, giant inlays are not suitable for being labelled over, because the artwork spills out of the recessed inlay area and into the mold rim.
In the case of the Horseshoe snappers, the faux shaped inlay means that most (or possibly all) of the inlay that is outside the recessed area, is a solid color already (sort of) matched to the chip. Labelling over the center part of the inlay might be alright as long as the "points" of the shaped inlay don't go past the edge of the recessed area.
I don't have any Horseshoe snappers in-hand yet, and until I do I won't be able to say for sure whether this will work as expected or not, but it's more likely to work on these chips than most other giant inlays.

^^ I thought the same thing (edit: gear replied as i was typing)

My concern would be that there's not the same hard edge transition between the recess area and the outside rim as the inlay itself kind of smooths it out, if that makes sense. As such, I would be concerned about the (white) edge of the label showing more than it would in a situation where there is more of a hard (90 degrees) edge within the recessed area. Does that make sense?
It does. An unlaminated label is thinner than a laminated label (thank you, Captain Obvious) so there would be less 'edge' to see, but hopefully if the label butts up against the edge of the inlay area that visual effect will be minimized.
No doubt, a labelled giant inlay chip is always going to look like a labelled giant inlay chip, but might be better than nothing. We'll have to see what's possible once I have chips in hand.

One snapper is already on its way to Gear for evaluation. My physical review of the snapper makes me think it will be feasible, but I'm just a rookie at this. The label edge will be obscured by the recess chip wall. The inlay art didn't appear to be outside the recess area, so the label should hide it. We shall see. Still need my 80 snappers though!

I know these aren't here yet and this is probably a long shot (maybe not...pending any additional ChipRoom sales, that is) but I'd still be interested in buying 20 x $5000 secondaries from someone.

I don't really understand why you would ever want a faux cutout label. then you have to color match the label to the chip.
so what is the reason behind doing it? I also understand it the particular state law. thats not the answer im looking for. more like why have that law what are they trying to achieve by having it?

I would like
13x P 1000
13x P 5000
And any 25ks I can get
Plus any sample sets as well.
Please let me know if you are interested and in what. I have lots of sets including PNY 1ks P. Let's see if we can make a deal.
That I might be willing to swap?

If anyone can squeeze in a single primary $500 chip and mail it to Finland via USPS First Class international (bubble envelope), please let me know. I'd love a card guard, that spot pattern is dope.
Got you covered, if none hasn't yet (have not been reading the thread through yet).

I had a feeling everyone was going to want the $25k chips... I thought about buying a sample set just for that one chip but decided that was too much for a card guard... ha!
Anyone willing to part with a $25k let me know! I'll pay a premium!

Hey Big Jelm,
I don't have any of what you need in trade but would gladly buy 2-2-2 of your high denomination chips. I was only able to get primary 1s, 5s, and 25s. Don't even mind giving you a little extra for 6 chips. If interested give me a price.
Thanks,
Lil Tuna
I'd say WAY more than $30. Do the math. They were only available in the sample sets, which were $89. Everything else in the sample set added up to $38.87. The convenience of being able to purchase one of each chip was not worth $20.
Of course that only means something until the next Chiproom sale (assuming there is one, and assuming 25ks are offered separately.)
EDIT: I guess I am WAY wrong. I just found out Apache will be selling $25k chips at $475/barrel, making them $23.75 each.

I don't have my order yet, but I do have an RHC snapper on loan from @inca911.
Observations:
Some of the 'points' of the faux shaped inlay extend past the edge of the recess area. It's not all of the points, and it's not very far, but it's enough to be noticeable, and it can't be covered by the label.
Conclusions:
1. It's definitely possible to put a label on the snappers, as long as you don't mind having some (but not all) of the points 'peeking out' at the edge.
2. It's not feasible to print a faux shaped inlay with the points cropped off, and then try to match alignment when applying the label to the chip.
3. It's not feasible to print a smaller label and deliberately leave all of the points 'peeking out' at the edges. That is, it's possible, but the label would have to be substantially smaller than the inlay area (which causes problems), and positioning/centering the label on the chip during application would be a pain.
Recommendations:
1. Do not label the Horseshoe RHC snappers, nor any chips with Giant inlays.
2. Find an RHC chip with regular Grand inlays.
