Kudos to whoever designed this casino's lineup.

The real question is, why can't all casinos have a lineup like this?

Just missing a teaser of the Primary Snapper

The sec $25 is absurdely boring. Everything else is great

At least it has day green going for it. It’s the loser of the lineup for sure, but not a total useless disaster.

Secondary $1s, $1000s, $5000s & $25,000.

Primary $5s, $25s, $500s.

Torn between the $100s but leaning primary.

 

[TKEUofM]

Damn, really hoping for a cash set "package". Love both the primary and secondary $1. Primary $5 is on fire. I love both $100s.

Would actually look to pick up a different $25 and murder them all for a Gear relabel.

So many chippie souls will be crying out after this sale...

Going to be in Kanab, UT 5/18-5/24. 99% sure that we have nothing scheduled yet for Monday 5/23. It's nice to dream....

 

[Buge]

Both $1, $5 and $100 are awesome. I really like the secondary $500 too. Great opportunity to put together an amazing set

Not one decent chip in there, a complete bust and I think Jim should price these to reflect this, just worried about him getting stuck with a load of duds!

 

[Mandos]

i assume that pricing on these sales normally reflects scarcity/demand, i.e. price per chip for the higher denoms being much higher?

Usually but not that much higher, Jim usually gets it pretty spot on to be fair, only thing you really have to worry about is the % limits

 

[perfectjawnz]

my god that 5k primary is gorgeous

Yeah the $500s were shocking. I can’t imagine playing a high stakes game and having to handle that kind of gunk.
On the brighter side, I’m sure these chips won’t be anything like that. Thanks to Covid, stuff got cleaned.

Story of every $25 lol

Prices are generally pretty much the same across each sale regardless of quantity available, but the low denoms tend to be most affordable because there is a higher quantity of those.

$1ish for primary $1's, $2ish for primary $5's and $25's, and $100's, $3ish for primary $500's, $7 to $10ish for primary $1k, $15ish for 5K, $30ish for $25k.

For secondaries, add a dollar or so to the price for each up to the $500's, IHC's tend to be $5ish more than the primaries per chip.

Except that primary

 

[JMC9389]

Except that primary

It's a shame it's not sherbert or day green. That base color with an 8V spot would make it the second most sought after besides the primary $5, I think

 

[upNdown]

Except that primary

Yeah. If he puts any mint primary $25s for sale, they will go fast

Can't tell from the pics, looks like maybe lemon green?

If the North Rim is open yet that is a cool day trip from Kanab. You’ll have the place almost to yourself, everyone goes to the South Rim. Watch for elk on the roads!

I wanted to upgrade my HSCincy fives to a better condition. But I was surprised that even with so many in the wild, the price hasn't softened.

I think I've found my minty replacement.

Too bad that spot looks like Butterscotch on the Grand $5 and not Arc Yellow...

I was only on PCF for the most recent Black Friday sale (which I decided to skip, stupidly), where the Jack Cinci $1s and $5s were very affordable, but initial couple of TCR sales of those same chips were more expensive. Jim said he doesn't sort the chips, but do relatively nicer chips get sold first, and then subsequent sales are for dirtier/not as sharp chips for cheaper?

In my experience the quality of chips is mixed regardless if you buy early or late (and I've done both in multiple sales).

That's a lot of headache just to sort them out at that amount of chips. He'll probably break even if he hires someone to do it.

That's definitely what it seems like, which is why I was confused about some of the price movements:

March 2021 Sale:

$1 new $1.69/chip, $1 used $.89/chip
$5 new $1.49/chip, $5 used $.69/chip

July 2021 Sale:

($1 cleaned - $.79/chip, $1 used - $.69/chip, $5 cleaned - $.59/chip, $5 used - $.49/chip)

November 2021 Sale:

$1- $.59/chip, $5- $.49/chip

I get selling actually-new at a premium (maybe those were pre-sorted by the casino), and I guess the price drops could just be explained as trying to get rid of inventory, but even at the lowest 59¢/49¢ prices, there could still be a mix of sharper and more worn chips?
