These guys didn’t take typography classes, obviously

Is there more security with the giant inlay? After all, even @Gear states that they cannot overlabel or remove and relabel one of these $25k

Wow, were the 5Ks in so much use that they needed to rack-check them that often?

Based on the colors that transferred, I think it was used to rack check $1, $5 and $100 chips.

Check marks on the face are from idle chips in a rack, no?
Wear on the chip being used to rack-check is along the edge, I believe.

Ah, brain fart on my part. My guess is only a few $5K's come out so the remaining barrels stay put and got checked repeatedly by an assortment of chips.

I didn't ultrasonic any yet, so forgive the novice dirty pictures...

So you got one of the lucky outer ones, I guess.
Good news is it should clean up fine

Definitely feeling the sec. $25 as a potential frac. Really difficult to choose which $1 I like more.

Something like this perhaps, with one of the $5ks as a $100?

Disappointment number one for me is that the Primary $5 is such a dim color, especially compared to the bright red secondary. I was briefly torn, but my dislike of bear claws easily carried the day. Better a darker five with good spots than a brighter five with ugly spots (yes, I know, everyone loves them... I don't).

Disappointment number two for me is that it turns out I really don't like RHC.

I was thinking maybe this would be a good set for me, but after having a shuffle stack of these excellent-condition chips in my hands... they're definitely not for me. They're not bad... but they're not great, and I think at this point in my chipping journey I need to save my money and cabinet space for great sets.

I'm keeping the sample set though. Gotta Catch 'Em All, you know.

Regarding the $5s - I do like sloth claws, but in the pictures, I didn’t think I liked these. I don’t care for white edge spots, and the pink spot on red seemed ineffective. In person, I like the chip. The edge spots are still a bit underwhelming, but whatever shade of red that base color is, it’s bright and exciting.
Regarding RHCs - no argument, except that it’s all relative. They’re better than ceramics, I think.

That chip was probably at the bottom of the barrel.

When you guys mention the % breakdown, what is an example how it works? Say I want a barrel of the $500s and $1000s, what else do I need to buy?

Look at past sales for an example.

https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/jack-cincinnati-sale.70695/

You'll probably need to buy 1000 chips total or so to get a barrel of 1ks.

Take a look at the percentages listed here; these will probably be similar
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/jack-cincinnati-sale.70695/
So if $1ks are 5%, you’d need to buy 400 chips total, to get a barrel of $1ks

Just change the percentages and prices on the excel sheet once chiproom releases them, when everything is green, you’re good to go.
