Hey Pasi

If ever
Id like 20 to 25 $5 chips
80 to 85 $ 25 chips
20 to $ 25 $ 100 chips

I can trade all of these against a fabulous cpc colony sample set !
Glws
Don
Ps now I ve seen bginga post !
 
Methinks we have a lockdown. Took one hour and three minutes. Waiting for Dave's PM.
So....congratulations Dave and thank you everyone for your interest. They will be placed in a great new home.
 
Sell that kind of set should be forbidden ;-)

I know. I made a crime I won't do again. Unless I lose it again...
Now we could use Jack's lyrical skillz again.

Can't mark the thread SOLD though yet, since methinks none can add anything to this thread after that.
So I will leave it in the state of "For Sale" for now. OP marked as SOLD.
 
Oh man...I've been awarded a trophy:

1,000 messages? Impressive!


My latest actions does not sign that though...selling chips :-o
 
How do you guys get access to these sweet casino chips? I'm guessing you have to wait for one to go out of business and then they get sold to a secondary market?

Yepp. Something like dat. Jim @Chiproom has bought many chips from closed casinos to secondary market, like these PCA's back in 2010. It is kind of state dependent, as far as I understand it. Some states make it easier, some harder, some impossible. Some others do those buyings also for every now and then.

Yes. Jim at The Chip Room went through a stretch when he was buying chips from closed casinos on a semi-regular basis (and offering them for sale for super cheap prices). These (PCAs) were made available through one of those purchases. Many times both primary and secondary racks were included in the sale. And the secondaries were often un-used/brand spankin' new.

You're [almost] never going to see Vegas sets since it is required that they are supposed to be destroyed per gaming commission rules.
 
Dave!

Those PCAs are beautiful. Wish I was around when they were initially sold.
 
Time to read up on the awsome PCA:

Great talking to you again Pasi, we'll stay in contact....
Congrats @Dave, we also have PCA-history...they found a great place to stay.

Despite that seeing this set and those from Fabian being sold, these sets all represent a great Euro clan that was very active on CT a few years back.
Besides Pasi, most have left the scene (Villagio Dave & Fabian, Joni) or I lost track (Felix, Mark, Mortier, Nicolas, ...).
The frequent games @Fabian dried up and most lost interest I guess.

I still love all my chips (PCA / NPS / Midnight Jazz Club) but not adding up anymore or buying new sets.
The game has changed and current prices are insane compared to 2010, glad I have what I have :)
Since then, BCC closed shop, no more paulson home chips/ pips mold, ASM is back where they were but that would be all.
I hope Jim get's back in the game or sets like PCA will be a thing of the past (low prices & easy access).

Mint TH&C mold (except for $1s), shaped, textured inlays. Doesn't get any better than that....well LCV, but that's it. Would be tough for Jim to find a comparable set.
 
Jim hit the jackpot with the PCA's and so did the community.

These chips are the best that came from TCR post 2010 and they have everything going for them except two things:
  • the $1 mold mistake
  • lacking a 1K chip (a purple 500 and oversized blaze orange (same config pri & sec) 1K chip would have been the nuts)
Besides these flaws, I don't see much sets (if any) competing with the PCA's...and it shows.

250K chips in circulation (mint & casino used) but still the demand trumps the offers every day of the week..mindblowing

We had so much fun (and dito issues) running the dealer button & plaques GB's, even a second run was done (plaques).

I'm most proud on my 300 custom hotstamped paulson dimes, that took a lot of teamwork to realize.

Thanks for providing interesting info to us new guys, thomascetti! The other thread you made was a fun read. Seems I am a few years late to the party! haha

Does this mean that there is currently no way of obtaining used casino chips from newly closed casinos?

There's still a way. But it just seems that casinos either a) aren't changing their chips as often or b) they aren't allowing Jim to buy them. Worst case scenario is a combination of both, IMO. It seems like it has been a LOOONG time. Every time I'm at the local casino I ask them what they did with their old chips (RHC w/ giant inlays - seen here). They ask me "why?" and I tell them I want to buy them. They laugh but quickly stop when I don't start laughing with them. Jim contacted them a while ago but hasn't heard a peep as far as I know.
 
Puggy,

It pains me to hear that you have reached the point that you had to unload these. At least you have some joy knowing that they went to a good home.
 
Thanks ledge and Strike. This move will be good for the chips.

That Thomas' thread is legendary. Loving that thread.
