in my experience, the best strategy for bringing down the per chip cost of a set is to buy as many more chips as possible at a slightly lower price point

Unreal. Great action. Felt like it was a final table

$7.45/chip by my calculations. Impressive by any standard.

Tongue in cheek or not, it worked for me with the Riversides. The only "cheap" denomination were the Bluebirds, so I went bananas and bought 1,700. Definitely brought the average price per chip for the set way down.

Mapes game in Cincy one of those days?

Absolutely!!

 

[AfterTheFact]

Thanks to all who participated by bidding and keeping the excitement alive!

It was a blast.

I was thinking about taking a break from chipping but now I'm back in with both feet

Sorry to any international bidders. I really wanted to keep these here

I was able to pick up enough $100's in Vegas to consider my set complete now. I'll post new pics soon.

I have a few other things up my sleeve and hope to show off soon.

Again, thank you all... Especially HQ! Your new Mapes set ships out tomorrow.

 

[B.C.]

[thyechal]

I bid $4000

 

[JFCJ]

[pokerplayingpisces]

Congrats H|Q! That is a sick set!

If I knew this was gonna be the market on these, I would have bought every single one Spinettis had, when I was living in Vegas back in '08. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to settle for having a complete sample set;

I think there are secondary versions of the $5 and $25 on the small crown mold.

[H|Q]

Thanks for all the kudos, gang. I'm not sure that feeding the degeneracy is good for me, but I like it. Good thing this is the "Last Set" for a while. Be sure to quote me if the wife shows up here.

These look more like the primaries based on condition. I've never seen those 5s mint. Also never seen the orange 5s in extreme worn condition

Holy chowder!!!!

 

[Basque Bull]

$7.65 a chip, that's like a latte a day. Just don't buy any lattes for the next couple of years and you're even.

Mapes Casino set with a bank of $4700 for $3800 is a nice pick up. Congrats
