My first set of TRKs - Pick Hobson's Riverside + Nevada Club Lodge (1 Viewer)

[RainmanTrail]

As you can see, I'm in need of some oil. Anyone know if "personal lubricant" works? Hahaha, otherwise I'm gonna have to make a trip to the ol' drug store... Enjoy

Sweet chips and great pron! Remember a little bit of oil goes a long way. Congrats on the pick up!

Gorgeous set. Bravo! Thank you for sharing shots of them.

Are the red and green chips minty fresh? The "faded" edges on them is how they look when new. It goes away as they get handled.

If that is the case, I would personally not bring a bottle of mineral oil within 10 feet of those chips. But I understand others feel differently about oiling.

Awesome set. But DO NOT OIL THESE. Let them gain it naturally through use. Once oiled, you can never go back. Chalky TRKs are a thing of beauty.

Oh snap. Lovely set.

Yes, those ones are brand new. And the 100s. I'm a bit hesitant to oil them too. Not sure if I'm going to. I know there's a heated debate over the topic. I'm somewhat of a purist myself, so I may just keep them as is. I'm going to use them though for sure. These are going to see some felt time, so they'll brighten up either way.

Sick starter set Rainman. I will never not hate Pick Hobson's for having no $1 clay chip but damned if this isn't as good as you could do to supplement.

Very nice.

Ya, it's too bad. But it goes really well with the set IMO. I assume they just had so many 1s left over from the original Riverside and/or Jessie Becks that they just kept those in play and got new higher denoms? idk

Wow - nice pick up for sure.

Actually, Pick Hobson used slot tokens. Crazy, eh? Spent all that money on gorgeous TRKs and cheapened out by not making $1s.

Wow, that is a gorgeous set.

Beautiful chips. I also say no oil. Just serve potato chips at your first game, you'll be all set.
