The search for one very elusive IBP $3 is over. Thx Danny!

There is a story here. At the 2021 chip show, @Psypher1000 found this chip for me. Later at the show I was chatting with Emilio @leo822 and he immediately suggested I give it to this old time California chip dealer…so I did hoping for future IBP chip karma. I’m a firm believer in chip karma so it was no big deal. Recently, I had stuff Danny wanted so I shipped it to him. He also had a stack of chips for me including this. We think it is the very same chip

What goes around comes around. Literally.

$25 riverside is hot (all shades of brown, chocos, & golds are my favs)
where did it come from?

That one? eBay. Lol. Will go with the rest of my set…

I love that shaped-inlay light-chocolate-base dark-chocolate-trimoon small crown beauty WAY more than I should. WAY more.

So these came in. I couldn’t resist the price. They’re really nice weighted chips! Have we seen these before?? Are they CPC? ASM??

Tried to grab some racks of these. Awesome pick up

 

[chipinla]

Well packaged, quick delivery, fair price, easy to deal with.

My first time dealing with @casinochipper22, but an overall pleasant transaction.

Proof that @casinochipper22 does give 101% effort.

I'll give them a soak in warm water and Dawn and they should be right as rain.

Pretty sure that’s blood

Capping off 2022 with a single chip gift from @EmptyPocs that arrived today to finish my full rack of used $5s. The mint ones are just too nice to play and @Okku would hate me for it.

Happy New Year PCF

My chipping strategy for 2023:

Don't wanna live as an untold story
Rather go out in a blaze of glory
I can't hear you, I don't fear you
I'll live now 'cause the bad die last
Dodging bullets with your broken past
I can't hear you, I don't fear you now
Wrapped in your regret
What a waste of blood and sweat
Oh oh oh
I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me

All chips are meant to be put into play. ALL!

I was going to say this too!!!! Let those chips hit the felt! Just don't throw them around like lunatics

Yeah. Hooker juice. That's what I said.

Thank you eBay seller. If the person/people who snagged the other 2 lots of King’s Crown chips, from same seller, doesn’t need all of them, please look me up. Sample set is growing (28 different chips at this point).

He's my favorite eBay seller of all time Absolute gem stuff that he posts.

I cleaned every chip by hand and didn't find this spot. Pretty sure it dissolved in the warm water and Dawn bath, so blood is

Yesterday was an absolute BANGER way to start off the year! Got some more Saddle Club $1s and a Western Club $1 through a trade off forum. Then, I was able to finally get a Midway Chuck Wagon chip. Not sure how many of you know about this place, but it wasn't an actual casino. It was actually a chuck wagon eatery in San Diego at the time on Midway. It was open according to ChipGuide from 1956 until the 1980s. I'll have to do more research, but history video incoming soon!

Chuck Wagon may be in my top five inlays ever. It's so stupid but it's fun and I love it.

 

[FDLmold]

Any chip with "Prime Ribs of Beef" printed on it has got to be a top 5 inlay ever. Agreed.

I agree! That was a really cool chip. I'm a vegetarian, lol, but thats still one of the coolest chips I've seen for a long while.

Imagine a playable set. Are there other denoms out there? Denominated in dinners, no less. "I bet 13 dinners!"

When are we going to get to see pictures from that haul from Peoria??

Tons of epic variations. Someone actually just found a bunch (25/75 I think) of these green and the orange version:

Oh, wow! Too bad all are 1 dinners, and not 5 and 25 dinners for a playable set
But damn, a whole bunch of epic variants indeed!

Edit: @ReallyGoodUsername got a picture of the hoard found? Would love to see some splashed or racked shots
