If anyone has information leading to the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa's body please pm me.

He may actually be easier to find than the Mapes $1’s

I don't want to start a new thread for this so I will just ask here (because lets be honest this thread is not going anywhere)

I have no experience with ordering from CPC. If I was going to get a custom CPC set very similar to the Mapes what would the price point be roughly speaking for a 500-600 pc. set?

How close could I get to the original with using CPC? (I mean copyright wise).

 

[JFCJ]

My first rack was purchased in very small lots at a time over about 7 months.

1/5 of that time * 6 (factor in greater demand, less supply)

I think I oversimplified.

I think @slisk250 can help. Until he sees this, search his username + "Mike's Casino".

I am also not delusional.. I have backup plans.
1. Mixing in / inlay replacing another yellow TRK

How it looks with my rack of Pick Hobson $.50s mixed in

Looks nice from the top (only 80 are actual Mapes $1s and 1 rack of the $5s are Money Trees)

2. Adding in my 2 racks of Money Tree $.50s to equal one rack of $1s

 

[JFCJ]

They're out there. The 80 you picked up and the 33 that recently sold are from new quantities I hadn't known about. I used to keep track of playable quantities, but failed to keep it updated.

So how many known Mapes 1’s and 5’s do you think there are, roughly?

 

[Mac128k]

@liftapint too?

The first time I saw that set I thought I was looking at the real deal. They are fantastic!

 

[JFCJ]

These counts are only what I know of. Many more $5s and $25s exists.

 

[softchewy]

bump

 

[JFCJ]

Add 500 to the $5s total for @inca911's set.

 

[softchewy]

cool... now please tell me there are an extra 500 x $1 and who has them ...
I assume you are only including non-cancelled $1s in your totals?

 

[softchewy]

Some trade options...

Pretty rare rack (took a bit to get it together and I have never seen another) - Excellent to Mint LVH $1s

Mint PCA Cash set

HS Clevelands:

Hot Pinkness

Fancy Cash

No, totals include all $1s I know of, impression stamps and all.

Impression stamps, imo, have no impact on market price. I've asked all the heavy hitters about the stamps with no explanation to date.

Should have clarified.. I meant notched cancels, not stamps.

 

[JFCJ]

Correct. I do own one notched.

 

[softchewy]

Correct. I do own one notched.

ok, thanks

 

[softchewy]

will trade 1 good $1 for 5 notched cancelled $1s

 

[softchewy]

Bump?

 

[softchewy]

Plans for a stand in/add on.. thoughts?

 

[softchewy]

...if you were about to throw out all your Mapes $1s, don't... I will purchase them for money
