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.

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?
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.
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.

So who knows. The mixed barrels that are the chips from the table may very well be in good condition
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'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.......
I'll bet I'm far from the only person who did this.
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%).

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’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.
Doubt that because @WhiteMamba1646 had a bunch of GO chips and his racks looked Pretty good condition
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.
The only thing I could see changing my plans is if my primary $5s are all in rough condition. In that case, I could see myself unloading them - slightly used with sharp edges I can deal with, but more than that, esp. when mixed in with better condition chips? No thanks.
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!
Paging @timinater!
Count me in too (secondary snappers).
Yes, count me in please!
I'm already working on it
This man needs a award
do you have enough tables to where these all see felt or are these just eye candy?
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!
Nice looking set / breakdown! Congrats!

Sheesh, I had 41 out of 142
I agree sec 1’s are my fav from this set
Glad to see everyone seems to love secondary $1s. I think they’re my least favorite in the set after my junker primary $5s. Something about the colors just isn’t doing it for me. Maybe I can trade ‘em for some decent $5s, lol.

Sorry to see some folks didn't get the condition they were hoping for.
Having gotten a minty IG sample set and a well-worn set of Majestic Star CNY commemoratives, I can say I prefer worn RHC to minty RHC. Minty RHC feels like an inferior THC, whereas worn RHC feels like a superior china clay. So I prefer the chip that feels like it exceeds low standards rather than the one that feels like it fails to meet high standards.

Man comparing Paulson to China Clay. Now that’s a hot take lol.
Wow, this was some shocking crap to read:
But this is 100% truth:
I just can't agree with your conclusion. I'll take the minty RCHs, then the worn RHCs, then anything else in the world made of clay or plastic, then finally those chips made from whatever's in the trash heap today (from old carpet to used insulation, to those winner tshirts they print for the team that ends up losing,) China Clays.
