Mystery revealed!

Shoutout to @Colquhoun for getting these across the oceans safe and sound.

I now have 3 sets which is still under the PCF average of 6.5 but we’re slowly getting there!

This kijiji find goes all the way back to August 14 when I was browsing awful dice chips and suddenly this ad appeared and the chips didn’t look like dice chips. These chips looked different. These chips were a few hours away oddly located in northern Saskatchewan? Some back and forth with the owner on total counts and breakdown ensue and I’m thinking road trip. Hell yes I’d like to come see these. Ok the owner says. I’m in Windsor. Eh?? Like Windsor Ontario? Yup. That’s easily a 35 hr drive. They had been listed incorrectly to look like they were near me. The guy wasn’t willing to ship them because they were too heavy??? Let me tell you Canada post ships a lot of poker chips heavier that your set. Nope. No shipping. Crap. Time to forget about these.
Fast forward exactly a month and I can’t forget about these chips. They are still listed. How has no one found these and scooped them? Yup still available and no to shipping. So now starts the quest for a member in the Windsor area. Along came @RuthlessKat to my rescue. A new member on here and someone I had no previous dealings with. Here we go. @RuthlessKat met to acquire the chips and after getting some boxes shipped to him packed and shipped them to me. About 3 months but totally worth it I think. There’s roughly 1200 chips in the set. An epic mail day.

Anyone know if these were from a person set or actual casino chips? The inlay is pretty intricate.

These chips are filthy haha look at the hooker juice on these $1s! Always good to see chips get play. They'll continue to get play here, but probably not as much as they previously did.

Damn. Those are filthy and well used. Looks like they are from a cardroom.

Cool to see some Chumash chips show up on here. That was my home casino from 18 years old to about 22. I've seen it go through 4 chip iterations.

Took a trip up last year. Played a little poker and a little blackjack. Not much worth bringing back in terms of singles collection. This iteration is pretty beat to hell.

Only had a moment for two shite pics but first impressions.

Are non-chippers going to get ripped off buying "Real Casino Chips" online? Yes for sure.

Are rip off haters going to hate these? Yes for doubly sure.

But with that being said.................

Oh My George Takai GIF




@justincarothers , you hit a home run in the ceramic realm. Now everyone rush out and buy theses and cause clay futures to crash harder than the 2007-2008 housing market crash so I can grab some new clay sets. :LOL: :laugh:
