For sale once more: 1880 Chip N Deal RHC $5s - now cleaned and oiled! There are about 20-30 chips that are scuffed, cracked, warped, or cigarette burned, so about 1850 playable chips.
I think these would pair excellently as a relabeled $1 chip with a couple racks of Horseshoe primary $25s. They should be able to take an unlaminated label since virtually all glue residue has been removed from the faces. I have a couple sampler Gear labels left I can throw in to anyone interested.
Final count including bad chips: 1880. About 1850 good chips.
$1850 + shipping for all, $950 + shipping for 925 chips, or $110/rack.
Buyer(s) to pay by Paypal Friends & Family, as well as a $0.01 regular payment for each box used so I can print shipping label(s) off Paypal. Racks not included.
Some of the pictures aren't true to color, I'll put up better ones sometime soon.
These originally had white vinyl stickers that had been ink stamped over the faces on both sides.
After removing all the stickers, I was left with a ton of adhesive, dirt, and pet hair still to be removed:
An ultrasonic machine helped with removing the bulk of dirt, gunk and getting started with lifting the adhesive, which still had to be scraped off manually on every chip.
These look great when freshly oiled and for about 2-3 weeks afterwards. Then the edges start to fade with a white chalky look. The faces don't seem to have this problem. I thought it was due to the temperature I first used in the ultrasonic (around 40C), but the rest of the chips at a lower temperature, between 32-36C also had this problem. My theory to absolve myself of any wrongdoing is that they are faded from sun/heat exposure. This was a travelling casino in Ontario and it's possible that they just sat in the back of a Suburban for most of the late 80s/early 90s. Also, even though nearly all adhesive has been removed from the faces a couple tiny flecks of residue migrate around the mold and edges. I think the best solution for both these problems is for the chips to stay in play!
