Well, hopefully mine look better after a thorough cleaning, but I’m not particularly optimistic. Oh well, ya win some, ya lose some. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of great condition racks up for grabs sooner or later.
This is exactly the line up I was going for.
DibsThankyou @TheChipRoom for another awesome chip brought home to us chip freaks!!!
No regrets on sec5’s these stack like bricks and minty minty minty
Yeah people definitely got chips on par with that or worse for the entire order. I’d say mine were moderately worse than that for all 700 chips, but not majorly worse. Kinda suprising the differences in wear considering they all came from the reserve.Went through and cherry picked my couple of 5s racks. This was the worst barrel I could put together, with the worst sides showing. Seems like others got chips that looked like this on the whole?

That’s what I’m hoping for! Fingers crossed.
I thought I remember Jim mentioned that some of the primaries had been put into rotation once and switched out so the reason for the variation in condition. Found it.Yeah people definitely got chips on par with that or worse for the entire order. I’d say mine were moderately worse than that for all 700 chips, but not majorly worse.

Gotcha with that in mind it makes sense why some are somewhat worn since they were prolly the chips played and then taken out. Lowers my hope for the other chips though since they’ll have been in play for 2 years and will likely show heavy wear.I thought I remember Jim mentioned that some of the primaries had been put into rotation once and switched out so the reason for the variation in condition.

I'm keeping most. I think I mentioned this already, but I bought more than I wanted specifically to ensure I got two racks of snappers for my set. Once I've settled on what I want to keep, I'm selling the rest.I wonder if anyone is keeping their chips?? The flip on these was horrendous. And from what I see in the threads includes people that have commented on the prices I asked for chips.......
Yep that’s what I was doing except I wanted to sort the $5’s. Couldn’t sort them because condition was all the same and sold the leftovers.I'm keeping most.

I'll bet I'm far from the only person who did this.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the people getting < 10% GO got the least work chips and people who got more than that got chips that saw play. I suspect that this was because they put a lot of the $5 GO chips into play.After reading through the last couple pages of this thread, I'm pretty sure I hit the $5 primary lottery.
Most of mine are a little dirty and need a cleaning, but they're all sharp and have next to zero wear - about as close to minty as played chips get.
Also, I only had 36/600 GOs (6%).
Doubt that because @WhiteMamba1646 had a bunch of GO chips and his racks looked Pretty good conditionI’ve come to the conclusion that the people getting < 10% GO got the least work chips and people who got more than that got chips that saw play. I suspect that this was because they put a lot of the $5 GO chips into play.
same boat here, I ordered a bunch in order to be able to get two racks of snappers and a rack of $1k. As I wasn’t sure which $1, $25 and $100 I wanted to go with, I ordered both. I may keep both $1s in any case.I'm keeping most. I think I mentioned this already, but I bought more than I wanted specifically to ensure I got two racks of snappers for my set.

Count me in too (secondary snappers).Is anyone working on a 25¢ label design for the IG snappers? I plan to order these from @Gear in the near future, and I'd be happy to help pay design costs if someone is already working on this.
Paging @timinater!

Nice looking set / breakdown! Congrats!View attachment 923673
Very happy with my little set. Exactly 1 barrel of GO chips which I actually think is kinda awesome! Haven’t cleaned them yet, but decided to share pics.
Those secondary $1’s are absolutely stunning!

Man comparing Paulson to China Clay. Now that’s a hot take lol.Minty RHC feels like an inferior THC, whereas worn RHC feels like a superior china clay.
I can say I prefer worn RHC to minty RHC.
