Unfortunately, it’s looking like my daughters’ graduation may be scheduled for that Friday now, but I’m going to do my best to make it out there.

Very cool mission!
Hop in the time machine and start picking up vintage chips!
Clay - ASM/Burt (numerous molds you could pursue here), TRK (small crowns, large crowns)
Clay Composition - Paranoid symbols, Paranoid engraved, crest and seals, embossed, interlocking
Early plastic - Bakelite, Catalin
Ivory, bone, wood, and paper
Even just within Paulsons if you're trying to be a completist there are about a dozen more molds you could pursue besides RHC and THC, although those two are the main ones, of course, and that doesn't even get into the Paulson casino house molds.
Good luck on your quest! I too am walking a similar path.

A few more, sorry I haven't taken the time to be thorough:
NexGen Pro - plastic chips that aren't slugged, aren't super diamonds, and aren't china clays
Faux Clays - also not slugged, not super diamonds, and not china clays; one of the earliest plastic chips that people thought felt a lot like clays
China Clays - there's a bunch of interesting product lines that are discontinued and somewhat hard to find. Examples include spirit molds, PGI greek keys, and tower-and-spear molds. A wealth of information can be found on PCF but you have to search to find it.
Ceramics - B&G and Abbiati make ceramics as well, and I believe they are unrelated to the Sun-Flys or the ones ABC/BrPro use. Sun-Fly makes several different types, and ABC/BrPro has at least two types with different textures. There are some mass-market ceramics as well: Scrolls and Laurel Crowns and some others I think? They're likewise different from the others (and not as nice).

Trying some new cards! Love my Da Vinci’s.
Thanks to both of you! I know I've got plenty more to collect. If either of you (or anyone else seeing this) have 10 chips to spare of the above styles I'd love to get a PM from you!Very cool mission!

Thanks for the surprise sample Nav. I know you were wanting a different color on the 500 but I’d love to felt these and think they are a great cohesive set. Particularly love the 1k
Also some more cut cards arrived. Thanks for crushing these group buys @Eloe2000
That’s my favorite part, how Nav made his 1K as a tribute to his favorite chip. Awesome stuff.
@Jeevansluck must have been busy at the post office this past week! Really appreciate the full set of Jack’s as well as a beautiful sample of your new custom set, thanks Nav!!!

Ya, I'm sure she won't care. She'd totally understand if you wanted to play poker instead. It's just graduation.
Well, there are two daughters, and of course I won’t miss their graduation. But dates seem to move on the school calendar lately, so I can hope. And there’s always the weekend.

Not usually a fan of IHC, but these $1ks are something else.

By far one of my favorite IHCs, it's more butterscotch than brown. Still hoping one day I can find a single to complete my sample set

Huge unexpected mail day. Went to drop off outgoing and was pleasantly surprised.
First, big thanks to @chrismurda for the Mint Clubs. Leaves one to finish the barrel and I think I found that.
This one is bigly wonderful and really helps finish off something I’ve been hunting. Thanks to @n0m1n4l and @Marius L, you have both made me a happy man...

@John Conor those Mint Club $25s are the bomb.
I often find the simplest fonts/designs on old chips to be the nicest.

Yikes, these MGM Vegas house mold chips that @clapton77 got for me on his trip almost cut my finger because they were so sharp. Big thanks for getting these (11 of each). They will be labeled over for some fun cash game chips inspired by a PCF thread about different purposes for chips (favoring doing a bomb pot chip and a run it twice chip for these) ... additional ideas are welcome (and encouraged)

I agree. That C&J color is awesome. Lavender maybe? These look amazing next the 5s too. I think these might be the same base as the Stardust 20s.

I agree! Some of my all-time favorites. Just wish the $1’s were more plentiful...

Happy we could make it all work out with those PNYs!
And I agree, those mint clubs are really awesome as well.
