After several weeks they are here!
 
I finally got around to snapping pics of a few recent purchases. The first is a small stack (8) of the only Vineyards I'll probably ever own. Thanks to @Herman Pu. I'm not even sure why I bought them other than I love both Vineyard $100's and Vineyards are the GOAT. Maybe I'll use them as bounty chips or make a giant inlay mixed set? They are sharp and pretty.

Next up are some Caesars Palace chips I pulled from a bunch of different sources (eBay, All Chips, @thyechal, @SpaceMonkey420, @casinochipper22). A few months ago I decided to build a large inlay CP set but they've been harder to find than I thought. I bought a rack of $2 from the CP poker room back around 2010 that I've had as part of a mixed set. Picked up another from SpaceMonkey plus a bunch of $1's, although a lot of the $1 were small inlay. I was able to snag a few barrels of near mint $1 from All Chips and thyechal, plus a few small eBay purchases. I also snagged my first $5 chip from eBay last week but hoping to find those in some quantity other than one at a time to avoid being murdered by shipping charges. This is what I cleaned up to go in the set so far:

Old textured inlay chips but still chalky fresh:

Love the way the morning sun catches all the detail:

I still have a long way to go on this but it's a good foundation. I need to finish off the rack of $1 plus add 2+ more. And start tracking down $5 chips in quantity. If I can get all that done I'll try to pick up a few live $25 or consider murdering Big Top $100 or Aurora Star $100 into $20 chips. If anyone has any good condition large inlay CP's collecting dust, I can give them a good home. Hit me up

Amazing close ups. What’re you using to take these macro shots!

Just my Galaxy S20 cell phone.

Someone on here gave pointers for getting good shots a few months ago, one was to use natural light. So I set up next to a window with plenty of indirect morning sunlight. It seems to work well.

I have mixed emotions about this chip. Would love to see them all together with the rest of the set.

You will. ;)

I felt like the original IOC $5s were flawed for two reasons:
#1
They did not have a faux shaped inlay and thus were the only chip in the original lineup that didn't.

#2
They looked pretty drab in a splashed pot mixed in with the hot pink fracs.

I expect the new $5s to stand out more with the arc yellow spots and they now have the faux shaped inlays the originals should've had to begin with.

you have been busy relabelling. the $1 could do with a make-over to get rid of the faux outline. ;)
