Theoretical question: WW comes out of hiding and offers you $30k for the set. What would you do?

I don’t like theoretical questions…

11.5g isn’t that heavier than the average leaded chip? (I don’t own many so I could be way off here).

My 10.5g Casablanca $100s feel like bricks, I can’t imagine what these feel like.

11.5 is pretty heavy for an inlaid THC. The heaviest I’ve ever seen is about 11.9.

The recent set @inapinch picked up is the same good good clay….

So much for keeping this cool set together

 

[upNdown]

Also, I would never split them up.

Yeah, since it’s unlikely more of these will ever turn up, I would hold off shedding any. Give it some time.

Hey, the guy knows how many chips he wants (or needs) so that's all he's keeping. I think it's admirable.

The $1s remind me of cotton candy

It wasn’t many years ago that I would have thought I’ll never need $100’s for my game and now they get in play pretty much every game. In a few more years who knows I may be thinking the same thing about $500 chips. With a 1 of kind set once they leave your possession you will most likely never see them again. I’d hate to think “damn, those 2 racks of $5’s would be really useful in this set right now” and not even remember what the $1500 or so you got for them was even used for.

Making some extra money is not difficult. Uber, DD etc, not to hard to clear some extra money. There will never be more of these chips made.

 

[harrysallout]

Relabel these for your frac.

 

[RadicusScout]

These are so rad! Congrats on the haul.

That $1 is pure ridiculousness.

There have been many times when I thought I had a set’s chip count right where I wanted it.

Every time I was wrong

And the converse can be true too.

I’ve played a $0.25/$0.50 game with my friends since high school (17 years ago). We haven’t changed the stakes once, and even though our disposable income has more than 10xed, our biggest total pot still comes from a crazy game in high school.

Now, having said that, I still build all my sets with 10k+ total bank

Most of my group has been playing poker together for about 20 years now. There are a lot lawyers, engineers, business owners, some doctors etc that make a lot more money than we did back then. Playing for $100 doesn’t have the same rush anymore more. You never know where your game will go.

 

[LeLe]

That’s some amazing haul, what a find

Holy shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Wheeler Assembly

Congratulation for your epic find. The hundo is such a killer and the $1 even shines in darkness.

 

[Taghkanic]

After reading your thoughts on this, I feel even stronger that I made the right decision…. My game is a friendly $.50/$.50 more often than not, and I can assure you that I’ll never host higher than $3/$5. I’m all good and I’m happy offer for you to help pay my kids tuition and car payments at any time going forward.

10 years ago I was playing a weekly $30 no-rebuy tournament in a friend’s basement with dice chips.

Never in a million years would I have expected to now be hosting 2/5 NLHE and PLO on a Gorilla table with 1,400-chip custom THC set. The players typically bring at least $2K each to the game.

Times and budgets and priorities change. That’s all I’m saying.

In an age of bots and scrapers, it's kind of poetic that a simple, good old-fashioned wanted ad has led to arguably one of the greatest PCF finds of all-time. Bravo!

We don’t know if it was a simple or old fashioned ad…

I still don’t have a copy.

 

[Taghkanic]

He responded to a wanted ad that I placed and we made a deal.

Like, a newspaper print ad? FB Marketplace? We now all need to learn how to bait these hooks!

 

[Taghkanic]

On top of everything else, the condition of these chips looks ideal for actual use. Still 95% intact, but with just enough wear to handle beautifully.

Chips in the 11's are the upper end of clay, very yummy. When you handle 11's you forget about 10's imo

 

[Taghkanic]

(Mental calculation… Number of newspapers in states with multiple closed casinos… Price of average classified ad… Bulk discount for 3+ month runs… Value of winning random grail set lottery…)

 

[louBdub]

This set might bring The Batman out of retirement.

As a seller, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings!

 

[TheBigTater]

Best find of my life!! I never thought I’d consider parting with my CDI set and box but I don’t know how I can let these go!

What an amazing find, congrats!

 

[Nanook]

A few thoughts for @Wheeler Assembly coming from the biggest enabler of relabeled chips.

- Great find. Certainly right up there with the best of them.

- Not even I would murder a set like this. Normally I don't love white $1's & I like more than 2 racks of $1's too, but both are minor annoyances and both can be dealt with easily.

- Personally, I would not break up the set, but I do understand where you are coming from. I think that if I really needed the money, I would sell the whole set on auction keeping it together. Otherwise I am keeping the whole thing. It's an all or nothing sort of thing
