Truthfully, I’m having trouble opening them up. I want them out. Any tips?

So out! Nice! I'd love to see some in a stack!

If you're careful, a razor/box cutter will let you get into the edge. It won't go into the chip because there's an inside plastic lip, but they become vacuum sealed sometimes, so it can be tough.

Glad you like them and they arrived safe. Sorry if my packing job looked like I was smuggling drugs, all I had was duct tape :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
Send it to me. I'll take care of it at the cost of 1 chip.

In all seriousness I usually feel for where the crease is and put a knife in the crease and go all the way around prying gently upwards.

Absolutely epic mail day!! If you are not a fan of my "Ben Books" then skip on by, but this one is important damn it!! Lol

It is one thing to have the funds and buy a rack of chips, be in the right place at the right time... It is another to spend nearly 2 years doing anything possible to piece together a rack! Early on I met @Lil Tuna and we chatted about the awesomeness of the Pick Hobson's Scrown TRKs. I explained that I really liked them and was ready to do whatever necessary to build a set. He told me it had taken him 2 years to find 30 of the fracs and said chipping had been good to him, he had found his complete minty rack and he wanted to send me a gift
View attachment 679066
This is what he sent me, my first 2 yellow PH fracs included... I was hooked! People like @JWC , @coolcustomer123 , @liftapint @AfterTheFact @HaRDHouSeiNC and several others have helped along the way. But mostly it was one or two chips at a time. Thank you all for helping me get to 73!

When I herd @RivieraDanny had made this big score I got my Hope's up but thought, those are probably going to be expensive and probably kept together for a sale. I reached out anyways and Dan was super nice and said he would help me finish my dream rack! I offered more money at the going rate and he truly hooked me up and asked for less! Dan you made a grown mans Dream rack come true today brother!!

I honestly can't thank you enough sir!! What a coincidence that we get an awesome card from the TRQueen on the say day with her awesome cut cards!! Love you Mel!! You are truly one of my best friends in this crazy hobby and it wouldn't be the same with out you!! Also a huge shout out to my amazing better half Brie @FordPickup92 who gets on eBay, the chip board and every other internet chip site everyday hunting PH fracs for me! I couldn't have done it without you love!

Thank you all that have helped me on this Grail rack journey, thank you PCF for being the best forum community ever!!!

A bit more cleaning and oiling and Finally Matt @Lil Tuna this impossible task will be compete! Couldn't have done it without you brother!!

Happy to hear and see you finally got that rack put together my friend. You were on a record pace to completing that rack grinding out those beauties a chip at a time.
Congratulations on it all finally coming together and can’t wait to see the finished rack amongst its peers in your Pick Hobson set.
I knew from the beginning that sample set was going to a great home.
Cheers to you and the Princess.

Ben Books are great if you ask me. Anytime @Ben8257 completes a barrel, rack, or a set is a good day. Job well done. I know you put tons of effort into what you do. Matter of fact, if @FordPickup92 wasn’t into this as much as you, slight chance you’d be single man by now given the dedication to chipping. I take my hat off to you Ben. I admire your hard work and how much you love this stuff.

Now, can you go talk to John for me?

Wicked cool. I know the feeling spending more than months to make a rack and then finding 10+ at the end to speed it
along. My 25c Binions Swirl Die rack was that way. Glad to see it come together :) Its a great feeling!!!

It's finally happened. I've finally got some hot stamp 5s for my hot stamp set. :D

PXL_20210417_023055120-01.jpeg



Now for some shots with their new family:

They're not my preferred 5, but they look great and will hold me over :D Eventually want a casino cash chip with a gold hotstamp.

The new hunt is for a playable amount of my preferred 20:

Thank you for passing those along to me in the first place. I wouldn't hesitate to get a set of BCC chips after getting my hands on those, especially the 25s, which I thought were super nice :D

My pleasure! I agree, the cigar & snifter mold is awesome, if I ever get the chance to buy a set of the inplays I will not hesitate. Can’t decide if that’s my favorite BCC mold or the T-mold (e.g. Samurais).
