About half way completed, actually. My back hurts.

My faithful pack mule, since 1980:

Chips1.jpg


Shelves 1. For reference, that third shelf up, with the Vineyards, has 7,100 chips on it -- at the moment.

Shelves 2, the staging area:

The sorting table:
Chips4.jpg


Under the sorting table, yet to go:
Chips5.jpg


A nearby stack, yet to go:
Chips6.jpg


And someday, I might even be able to use my radial arm saw again (yes, there are more Vineyards, GVs, NPS, and Worlds there too):
Chips7.jpg


Done for the day-- cooking supper now, roasting a chicken outside. Copious amounts of wine will be consumed tonight...

Stop packing and just send them to me. Save your back ;)

Btw is that a rack of Casablanca $1s in the last picture? I've only seen one rack before
 
I see enough quantities of certain chips there to significantly affect the market
 
Also if you ever unloaded the whole hoard I can imagine prices crashing with that many chips hitting the market.
 
My God--it's full of stars!

Very nice, Larry. I've got extra Vineyards to trade for Vineyards if you can spare a rack of 5s as part of an exchange program. Looks like you need one more rack of real 3s to fill a birdcage, of which I have some spare racks. Partake of the wine first, then let me know! ;-)

P.S. Nice barrel of 500s, but I also think that lone 500 needs a new job protecting my cards.

I don't know what's more impressive - the collection itself, or the willpower to resist shredding each and every box upon receipt in order to gaze at the contents therein.

On multiple levels - well done, sir!
 
I've been waiting a long time for this day. Not disappointed.
 
Amazing! You could probably pay off my mortgage with all those chips lol!
 
Awesome! How many years have you been collecting sets? Incredible! Please give me a week's notice before you start selling off... :)

Are those TRK boxes I see??
 
I have a few of those storage racks, they're awesome for chip storage, very very sturdy. Of course the one rack I have with chips has 2 shelves filled with chips, not 2+ full racks filled with chips, lol. Well done.

Most of the yellow chips in the pics are Vineyard $5s. Nicest chip in that entire set, imo, and there are some real stunners.


Oh, and this. Definitely this.
