Starting down the path of TR Kings (3 Viewers)

I regret selling my custom TRK set years ago, It was in their last year of existence. I created the oasis club logo and had the hot stamp made....

Sigh... memories

Josh, look what you started... Obviously, TRK brings out a lot of chip passion. Some VERY impressive sets out there!

I second the earlier idea of buying a stack of 20+ to shuffle and see if you can enjoy them blindfolded. I wish you well in your search.

I'm really happy my dumb question just got people posting prOn. I have a small set of older ones to shuffle. I think a small 1/2 of Jessie Becks is gonna happen. I messaged Spinellis without luck, so I'll have to give them a call it looks like.
 
didn't mean to derail your thread, but hey, more pRon the better right !

Spinettis isn't the fastest in responding, i have an email out to them from yesterday that hasn't been replied to yet. But they will.

So your getting a 1/2 set or 1/2 a barrel?

Current plan. 2 racks of 1s, 2 racks of fives, and hopefully a barrel of 25s.

be patient. mikko will eventually respond.
 
FWIW... just crunched some fuzzy math, averaging 5% smaller, the TRKS are heavier,

By my calculations.... approximately 20% denser of a material. Probably why they feel like bricks when shuffling.!!

And please.. i hope someone checks my math.:eek:

Didn't check your 'smaller' math, but the appropriate comparison size number would be volume, not diameter....

I compared grams per cubic cm.

Used NV Club $5 vs. SDM $5
 
Different years in production yeilded different amounts of lead content as well i believe.
 
Comparing weights/volume of a stack of various older (pre-1998) THC chips to a stack of various TRKs from that era would yield more accurate and meaningful results. :)
 
I didn’t get a chance to take chip photos this weekend, but here is the view from my desk, of the small denom chips, and a box of mixed others.

These are my primary and secondary sets, respectively :)

Josh, did you settle on a specific new TRK set? Please share a picture when available.
Got a simple Jessie Becks coming. I see the old lady as a bonus.

200x1
200x5
20x25

Might need a rack of 5$ and one more barrel of 25s... Or a few hundos
