Just so thrilled (and honored) that I was able to find a small way to thank you for your generosity over the years. You’re one-of-a-kind, Paul.

Now, when can I come to the museum?!?
 
My favourite it "The Mint" $25 - I've never seen a "The Mint" TRK in person. I made a tribute set on cards mold a while ago:

Decided to take a bit of time today to check over what I had and take a total look over it all. I don't think when I started buying 2 years ago that it would have evolved into this, but let me tell you the journey has been incredible. Of course this is a majority of the TRKs I have in quantity. These I would classify as the sets or almost done playable sets. I completely forgot to add the Desert Sands into here although I still have those. One thing I have noticed is that I don't really have much Nevada TRKs in quantity. I do have close to a few barrels of some, but not as many as I'd think. Also, most of the stuff I have found was off-forum which I've enjoyed the hunt. Hope you all enjoy!

Holy shnikes!! Golden Nugget $100 and a Milton Prell's $25 in the same pic! So awesome!

Reminds me. Someone told me back when I posted my golden nugget sample set that these G~N molds were not actually made by TRK. Is that true? I had always believed they were.

Dennis said they made them and that's good enough for me.

Both Burt and TRK made chips on the G-N mold. A long while back, Doug Saito had a blurb in one of his auction catalogs as a GN chip was made by TR King, but he didn't remember where he got the info from when I asked him about it. I asked Jim Blanchard about it and he told me that Burt made chips on the GN mold and he never sent the G-N mold to TR King, so he didn't think they did. The correct answer appeared when David Sarles started uploading Burt and TR King Order Cards to the Chip Guide.

I couldn't find a card for the 1/4 pie $1 and the red $5 but i have a feeling those were also TR King. Burt made most of the G-N mold chips in the 60s and early 70s.

Absolutely beautiful piece of history there John! That would brighten up any chippers poker room! I think I would frame it and put it behind glass... I know Glas behind glass but that extra level of protection! Would be awesome to have those remade but will kill the value of that original.

If not in the TRK thread then where exactly would you share this? It says TRK Pron.. not TRK chips! Lol

Agreed! My first thought was that it should go in the bedroom... You know, for inspiration/motivation. But I guess it could also go in a poker room too.

@TRKingChips do you have any history behind the sign? Do you know when it was made or who it was made for? Is it new old stock or did you find it at a resale?
 
That’s an incredible piece John. It’s in great condition, leaning towards a repop. If not maybe used in a transom?
 
Thank you for fixing the pic for me …
I really appreciate it …
YES - one of their earlier gaming supply

Re : $100 Golden Nugget G~N mold chips .
Dennis O’Neill told me that Steve Wynn personally delivered the molds to TRK to have
the chips made for them .

TRK commissioned the sign to be made for their
Store in 2006 . Incidentally - that is the same year that TRK closed their business . It is new
condition as far as I can tell . A special tool was
used to make the all-around chipped edges on
the glass sign . Truly a spectacular memento
that comes directly from TRK .
