Nice little eBay pickup. These were the first plastic cards I ever bought back in 2004 for my high school home game. Lot of memories with these. Made in Spain by Bee. Fournier stock?

Very likely yes

I’m sure these don’t have much value, but I saw them on FB marketplace for $30 and thought that they were cool. A Dal Negro jetson and plaque set.

There is a not so open secret that if you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy, you can get samples of any WSOP Rio chip you want.

Either the seller is that guy or one of the guys who knows him and is flipping for the profit. Even at the inflated prices the high denoms on eBay feel like a steal.

Fun fact: The picture of the 5,000,000 chip in my guide Albino linked to is from the private collection of someone on these forums.

I couldn't resist. Just grabbed some myself - I've wanted some of those RHC Rio WSOP for forever. Will make for amazing card cappers.

How about a SNG set?

I impulse bought a Metallic silver 1M and White 100k secondary. I'd grab more but money is a little tight and I am worried the market is about to get flooded but also I know I will regret that decision soon.

I would love to get my hands on one of the 500k oversized 8V primaries, that is one of my favorite chips of all time.

My knowledge is second hand and limited so I can't answer. My understanding is that a Rio employee "rescued" some chips and if you knew how to find him and slip him some cash you could walk away with some cool stuff. Based on the fact he is posting listings with 5-10 chips available of each denom, it seems like there may be more out there then I knew for sure.

a playable set of the Rio WSOP chips would be out of this world. YMMV, but for my money, they beat the pants off the Binion's WSOP chips, despite being RHC.
