My custom Tina set finally touched down!

Could not be more pleased with it. Colors and inlay are super crisp and bright

Glad nothing was damaged. I’ve had this happen 5-6 times with USPS packages that I’ve received, several times resulting in not-inexpensive chips being lost, usually with larger shipments, which is part of the reason why (1) I no longer ship via USPS and (2) when I ship I use packaging tape on the entire box to keep the sides from exploding and throwing up chips when drenched (begrudging credit to @Josh Kifer).

Yeah, i'm very happy with the chips... they were actually sharper and overall better shape than i anticipated from the sellers photos... so no complaints... but that box was comically thrashed... haha...
 
It has been quite a nice mail week for me. Saved it up for one big post.

First, some sample sets came in. Thanks to @sheikh617 for the Beantown sample and @Hotus777 for the other two

These excellent mixed mold hot stamps from @Spinettis Gaming also came in. Will need to host a STT soon so I can get these into play. I really love these even more now that I have them here in person.

Some CSQ hot stamps, mostly solids. Really dig the orange ones in particular. Thanks to @brocck

Some singles I traded for with @ski_ex5 . LGKs and house molds. Big surprise.

And the one that excites me the most! 2 racks worth of blue house mold $1 chips! Working on my mixed mold ratrod set and decided I wanted to do blue house molds for my $1 chip. Obviously there's a few with some high repeat numbers in there but @ski_ex5 managed to come up with over forty distinct chips to make this up for me. I'm looking forward to tracking down more to replace the repeats and flesh it out.

I think that's it! I'll probably start slowing down soon, need some 5s for the mixed mold ratrod set but I haven't really settled on what mold/style I want for that. Considering maybe red RHC grand opening and cancelled chips. Capture the beginning and end of the casino lifecycle for the 5s and also capture the iconic hat and cane somewhere in the set. But apart from that I think I may have hit saturation for a little while. Cuz you know, I can stop whenever I want to.
