I would totally order a deck of those as a gag the first time getting the new set in play!

Haha please do! What is this a deck for ants??

As usual, come home from a shift at the observatory and find the stuff I bought a shift or two before.

From top left, another chip from the Red Fox on that crazy pyramid mold, a prop chip from Deep Rising, a blank spotted Roman mold chip... just because.

Middle row, a couple older Vegas ones for my singles collection and the new Paris $2 for my Vegas drop chip collection (up to 27 now).

Bottom row, a Paulson sample chip with their "intricate edge spots". These are the spots with text on them.

I remember many of us being puzzled by these (myself included) when they showed up on the 50mm chips at the WSOP Main Event several years back. This is a 39mm chip, but now that I have one in hand, the spots make more sense. These are plastic edge spots with what appears to be the text molded into the spot. The little tabs at the edges of the spot are probably there to give the clay base a place to grab onto when the chip is molded.

View attachment 930352

The spots are incredibly uniform and square for a clay chip, and that makes sense as they are not clay! This shot shows a bit of a whitish mark on the spots which basically lines up with the text on the edge. This is another reason why I think the text is molded into the spot then the spot added to a chip before it's pressed in it's mold.

I also like this mold quite a bit.

I have one of these as well. It is very unique but I absolutely hate the chip, the mould, inserts, and overall feel are all horrible imo

Just arrived in the mail ....
100000 francs plaque from Societé des Bains de Mer de Monaco.
Large size plaque (125x87mm) used 1959-1976 in Monte-Carlo. Each side it's rotated 180 degrees respect to the other.... the 3 "lunettes" are asimmetrical.

Simply wonderful!

This will be my personal best package yet! More pics to come! And it arrived a day early!

Man these are minty and I can feel the chalkiness. These need a bit of cleaning.

Another eBay find and completes my 1972 Tropicana sample set, have not seen a $500 or $1K out there nor on Chip guide.

You guys know how in school we had that project to make a container which you could then put an egg inside to see which one would survive a fall from the top of the building without breaking an egg? I think @Eriks packaging of chips would win that contest! Layers of paper, foam, bubble wrap, plastic wrap and box within box is some of the most bulletproof packaging I have seen. Thank you buddy! One more package is on the way, then I only need 20 - $1, 20 - $5 and 1 - $25 to finish the set!!

Happy to hear they made it safely, please enjoy! Sweden to Texas in 7 days, not bad. Let’s hear it for our postal services!

 

[toothpic]

Yea pretty fast now! Back to normal speeds I would say.

Fun addition to the Four Queens collection:

 

[djfayze]

So this didn’t technically come in the mail, and it’s not poker chips, but there’s a reason I’m posting it here. This eclectic mix of items is a motor and mount to clean vinyl records in an ultrasonic…

The reason I’m posting it here is because I was lucky enough to pick it up in person and simultaneously meet my first PCF member in real life, @Schmendr1ck! It was erroneously sent to him by mistake and he was kind enough to share it with me (my record collection has grown to 250+). He’s such a nice guy and treated me to a tour of his chip stash along with a little sample set he’ll be posting about soon enough. Big thanks Chris, it was SO great to meet you!

It was a pleasure to meet you as well! I look forward to playing with you at my game and/or a meetup in the near future (cough cough SQM cough).

I won't say "enjoy" because cleaning your vinyl is probably like cleaning chips - not really fun but something that has to be done and is worth doing right. So how about "make good use of it!"

 

[Mongoose]

Minty Paris $1’s?

Sure, why not……..

 

[VMR911]

Thanks for sending me a spare hundo @Irapley!

Before I only had 99.8 of these!

 

[HebbNH]

More goodies! Forgot to get pics of a mint rack of CDI $1s that delivered earlier via FedEx. Oh well.

A nice add-on to the small Pharaoh’s set I’ve had since ‘04.

More Casino Royale 8vs. I think these will make for a great frac pairing with some other Cali chips that are on the way.

Finally, Bahamias! These $5s are absolutely radioactive, even compared to my CDI $5s. Love, love, love these chips!

 

[cpac54]

Finally! At least, sort of...

Box 1 of 3 has escaped from customs prison... 2 more still sitting somewhere in limbo.

Someone convince me that @HebbNH isn’t an alternate Windwalker account.

So many great pickups!
