Are you willing to wait for border reopening? ;)

I've been able to ship both ways across the border throughout. Just can't land cross as fast as I know. But yes could wait too, just want to use these for side games.

@Goldfish You reckon your method would do the trick on this barrel?

Also, @mattross1313 — you going to be trying for any of these? If so, might be worth us sharing shipping?

I am sure there are more experienced flatters here that can chime in, but my guess is that the really warped chips will always stay a little warped. most of the chips, however, will get much flatter. I have turned some really wobbly barrels into sturdy stacks. Some chips require 2 or 3 runs though.

Agreed, some chips require multiple cycles of flattening. Only time will tell if they remain COMPLETELY flat, but I’m sure they won’t return to anywhere NEAR the warping they are now.
 
The warping can be fixed but I'm more worried about the stuff that is on them.
At first I was afraid it could be something like mold/mildew...and wouldn't want any in the proximity of my chip sets (or house for that matter).
After seeing the Stardust chip, color sample & other chips, it's obv. color based and also a bit scary...

Could this be a post lead production issue with light pink ?
It's not limited to RHC...

The PCA 50c chips are way older and have no issues ever reported...nor any other older chips.

Any thoughts on how murder/inlay replacement will work with these given the small original inlay? Is it possible to replace with an inlay that will fill the full recessed area?
 
The fluorescent "spreading powder" is what is making me think. That pic with the fluorescent yellow hands and substance all over the boxes and the things you touched... yikes. I'm guessing wearing gloves while you clean and tossing the boxes would be in order here?

Imagine what the poker table would look like if you shined a black light on it. :eek:
Would your "member" shine yellow under black light?? :nailbite:

I was wondering the same thing. I think large labels that are unlaminated will fit over the inlay just fine. If you want large labels that are laminated, you will have to remove the small inlay AND mill the chip.

I have a dry sauna in my basement that I can get up to about 170 degrees, do you think that extra heat and a little weight on top would remove the warp if they sat for a 1/2 hour or so session?
 
I have pink empress roulette chips that I purchased directly from jim probably close to 10 years ago. They were cleaned with oxi clean and sat in my basement.They don't seem to have any yellowing at all. I also have brand new ones that were not cleaned or oiled, also no yellowing. Same for my rack of 36mm chips, no yellowing. Perhaps its the environment where these new snappers were stored ?

The chips above you have referenced are Paulson Pink (at least the Buyin chips are). I believe this issue is specific to Light Pink.

@jazzV3 is right! No one should be any of these chips on Sunday. I know I won't. :whistle: :whistling:

for me it's not mildew but pigments ?
one day i put a cleveland $25 chip secondary in an oven (no comment lol). at 110°C chip is softened and covered of yellow pigments.
 
From what I’ve seen so far in this thread, it looks like the yellow is one of the chemicals in this specific color leaching out to the surface over time.
 
Definitely ordering the straightening jig from 3d3p and some labels for fracs if I am lucky enough to get some of these. Worth the work for some good fracs imo!

And I'll assume those roulettes are leaded clay, so whichever shade of pink they are, it's a different formula than these HSIs
 
I'm worried that the little yellow that remains after scrubbing is going to bug the crap out of me. It will be the type of thing where nobody else notices, but it just eats away at me... :nailbite::cool

@grantc54 is that water staining on the edges of the chips? Does that come off? Thx

Not sure what you mean? That barrel is the before with the yellow film. The last pic is the final output.

I'll likely do a 2nd run at some point on the edges that still have a bit of yellow but I used up my last magic eraser today.
