Found em ... my understanding is that these would not remove?
Are you asking whether it would be possible to remove the labels?

Oversized labels can be removed but the results are never satisfactory. The hats from the edge molds will be halfway removed along with the label, as well as part of the rim itself, and no replacement label put back in its place will look good.

Removing them isn’t the problem - I’ve seen that done. But there’s no way to neatly replace them.
See how the inlay is pressed in to the hats and canes? You could only replace it neatly with a smaller label, that went out to the edge of the actual recess, but you’d be left with an indent around the inner half of the outer shoulder, where the outer edges of the original inlay had been pressed into the clay.

Thanks Jim @TheChipRoom

Looks like I’m out of the sale.
I thought the standard packages were suspended. International priority was ok

Anywho, I’ll sit out. More chips for others
If you really want to participate, you can find a re-shipper based in the US here in the forums. They can receive your chip shipment and then use FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.

I really don't know how it works, but very determined people can get things done, I'm sure at some additional cost.
 
I know it’s probably been said, but the condition of the primary chips seem to be mostly new to slightly used?
 
Thanks DirtyTIVA, very helpful to see these together! If you happen to have the $5 sec that you could throw into this photo I wouldn't hate it :)

@DirtyTIVA just because i cant see on my phone.. are the jack cincy 500p and indiana 500p the same colour?

There seems to be a slight difference.

Maybe similar to the 2 different kinds of red on the CDI 98 $5
 
The metallic silver spot on the IG secondary $500 is really nice. Pictures don’t capture it well. Only after I got one in my hand did I decide to go for some next Sunday. Along with some 1ks hopefully...

Agreed. For some reason, the met silver on the secondary is much nicer than the met silver on the primary.

Might just be a result of handling. The Paulson metallic silver and metallic gold are known to not wear well.

Whatever it's the result of, it still doesn't look as good. Even after cleaning and oiling. I wouldn't buy the p$500 if it were half the price.
 
They look similar but they are very different with different security features. And Gear won’t make labels that say “casino”
 
Has anyone tried taking a label off? How was it?
 
Has anyone weighed these chips yet? I’m trying to avoid more lightweight chips. I prefer 9 gram plus and some are now 8 grams each (like the Horseshoe Cincinnati $25) Denominations can vary widely. Can anyone check the weight of the $25 primary and secondary chips? Thank you.
 
It’s worth mentioning that in my experience, individual chips can fluctuate by a half gram easily, and I only have one sample of each, so take these weights as ballpark.
