There was a thread

@kmccormick100 are you going to keep the inlays intact or do some thing custom with those ones

Yes

Wow I love those chips with gold, hope I can find one someday. Is that part of the chip or did someone take a marker to it?

It’s under investigation

Looks like they use a marker. Edge spots don't flake off like that lol

 

[Grandmasturkey]

Probably one of those paint makers that you can shake and the tip presses down and maybe you get a lil high too as an extra bonus

Was just going to mention you and @Ben8257 for what Ben called them "penis chips? or was it dick chips. So long ago.....

Long live the Penis Chips!

Why do I call them that?

Well i am not mature enough to elaborate on that definition so....

When we examine the inlay closer

This strange shape of a human leaves more than one question mark... but wait...
What is that on His/Her left thigh

To me it definitely looks like the male "organ" described above... hence forth... Penis Chips!

I am no artist but I tried when we were thinking about making the Blues into $1

But we were threatened and I quote "you deserve to be kicked in the nuts if you think about murdering those shaped inlays!" So we have since decided to go with the Jerry's Nuggets which we intend to relabel and everything else remain original and use the snappers as quarters! I did add a rack of Kings Blues incase anyone is picky about using snappers but thus far no issues

For the record those that are not aware these are Original Maryland chips, very few Maryland chip sets were ever made, most for Volunteer Fire Departments, @Windwalker found the back story on these from some micro film... this man has amazing resources! It was to be a small "charity type casino" that was used improperly and shut down 3 short weeks later. It's location was Kent Island,less than an hour from us over our Bay Bridge, the fact that they were found nearly 30 years later and still in playable quantities makes them precious to us, no one knows what happened to the $1 chips, we have a couple but very few (a couple barrels) are all that are known of... the rest were purchased years ago and hiding in a private collection somewhere.

Absolutely ridiculous spot progression, but many of our games only get the low denoms in play anyways, even though we kept plenty of the higher end for inflation proofing... if that is ever really a thing. $10K in $25s is far more than we will ever and I do mean EVER need, but again one of those "once in a lifetime opportunities" might as well build a big set! Lol

Great looking set buddy! Love the snapper as a quarter! It’s a keeper set for sure!

 

[Josh Kifer]

The set that got me into Hotstamping. So good....

 

[WedgeRock]

I doubt anyone is actually buying those at anywhere near that price.

Some people see chips they want and snap buy, without concern for the price. I've seen it happen.

The value of 100 bucks to me is alot more then alot of people. I know plenty that would snap buy those.... But not for ol me. It's just a ugly chip. Hahahah

 

[BearMetal]

A very cool add-on arrived for my CM Palms set today. Now I can go with a super deep stack T100 freeze out!

Decided on some 43mm chips as well. I'm not sure how I feel about mixing 39mm and 43mm. For the BTP group buy that's happening, I went all 43mm. I think it was the right choice.

"Thank you for calling TR King Co. My name is Oscar, how can I help you? Were you interested in ordering hot stamp or inlay chips, leaded or not leaded? I can help you in all kinds of ways. Let me know and I'll hook you up with some goodies. "

Big thanks to @TRKingChips! John, this is incredible stuff. Can't believe that I have these in my collection now. A catalog, plus TWO unused invoices, stickers, sample chips and everything. I'm so excited!

Then, a few feeeebaaayy goodies!

That Caesars Palace 500 NCV could have been used in the Sopranos. When Tony went to Vegas and won big after Moltisanti died, they were using those Caesars NCV chips. I want to say I saw the 25s, 100s, and 500s on the table, but it's been a while since I watched.

 

[Mongoose]

^^^ wow good memory! I’ve seen the Sopranos multiple times and didn’t catch that!

I caught some stills off youtube real quick. I just figured it was common knowledge, so I never made a thread or shared the info.

 

[FDLmold]

I should have bought some singles, in hindsight, THEN told you guys.

Now that I think about it, back when I watched the Sopranos I played poker but wasn’t really into chips!

They used those on some televised tournaments, right? Maybe the heads up championship? Those are as good as it gets. That would be chipping nirvana.

You could give Caesars Palace Vegas and Caesars Tahoe their own thread and have trouble running out of awesome things to say about most of their chips.

Think I or someone else threw it in the chips in tv/movies thread. Pretty cool though. Have most of the sample set just a few more left!

Oscar that is an incredible score. @TRKingChips is truly a unique resource for unobtanium.

I only have some chip sideboobs to contribute this week. I’m pretty sure I said I was done buying chips.

Almost forgot the other barrel of bearclaws...

Thanks Karl!! There's never such thing as being done with buying chips

 

[Northern Paladin]

I love small packages. For me, they are synonymous with big values. @WedgeRock

Not the right day, however I received these 2 beauties this weekend. Thanks to @kk405 for his barrel and thanks to @doublebooyah85 and @JP1984 for the one they agreed to sell me!

Now I have big rebuy chips for my (HSI) $0.5-1 and $1-2 games!
All I have to do now is change the players and I'll have a perfect set!
