Console card set-up mails over the past couple months, some are new some are replacement/backup set-up

 

[LeLe]

Main Mail received today, OPUS Casino set purchase from @Tommy and @liftapint

I am both a fan of injection mold plastic and Clay chips, so I am pretty hype of the arrival

All the chips arrived safely. no casualty and the set up can pretty much cover 25c/50c up to $2/$5 stake

Love the $500s - spicy!

Yup I loved the $500 too. It costed me quite a bit but it's totally worth it

 

[TheSchmiddi]

I am a little jealous of the 500s.

There is something strange about this chip. Why does the texture pattern on the inlay have a different orientation from the pattern on the clay? Looks like the inlay is not original.

The inlay was removed when I got it so I put it back on. Didn’t know about inlay/chip cross hatching at that time.

CJ’s are good for falling out inlays! Lol. Crosshatch mismatch, lots of talk about that at the convention this year!! Lol. Great job on getting it back in anyway @Okku

You need to tell us the name and address of the monster who would do that to a purple, shaped inlay, C&J, $20 Stardust chip.

I sent a BG Monaco plaque to Italy at the beginning of the summer. It never arrived at its destination.....
For my part, I had hope at the start. It was only after that I began to pray.

 

[FDLmold]

Lost a West World $1 on the way to me this summer shipped that way. It’s not without risks, no doubt.

Why you no ask Kifer for a WW1? I ship things good.

 

[MaxB]

Ah the old envelope and pray method

yeah, eBay chips. Of course specific ones I need for my set that are not easy to find
Not expensive but its the fact that some USPS worker has them now pisses me off

Update… this isn’t gummy candy. Tasted awful. Too salty. 1/5 stars. Would not recommend.

In that case, let me know when you decide to put it up for auction...

Nice mail day today

Tomorrow's going to be even better though..

 

[joeyshin]

Shout out to @Benjaminotaur. few weeks ago I bought some dealer buttons and he messaged me about one he wanted. I told him I only bought them because my son is into starwars and sent him the db I didn’t need.

Then today my wife gets this in the mail. My son is super excited for bedtime because of this. He didn’t have to but went out of his way to get this for my boy. Thanks so much!!

Solid dude that @Benjaminotaur

This is what chipping is all about!

Omg. I DIDNT HAVE IT WRONG!!! It's been star wars all along!

 

[BamaT8ter]

First plaques. Yeah. Me likey.

Updated with better picture.

C&J did do shaped inlays

View attachment 986001

yes they did though I only recall seeing scallop inlays on C&J chips.

Interesting, shinny in the hats and looks like a CJ, looks and feels like a CJ but it is exactly 39mm not over like other CJs... very odd, but that's cool if it is a Paulson.

Yeah the hats looks shiny but the C&J mold were all long cane versions. Your chip is a short cane version For sure a sweet Paulson chip, tho!

 

[BearMetal]

Another fun mail day! This is going to be an end-to-end Fall project. These suckers are going to get cleaned, flattened, milled, inlay'd to become the $1 chip in my Post / Mint C&J set! I couldn't pass them up at this price point ... C&J chips are just so rare to find in quantity for a price that doesn't break the bank. With the money I saved, I get to buy a drill press, some bits, and hopefully have enough for a finger guard!

• C&J ... Check! (Shiny Hats, 39.78mm, built like a mf'ing tank)
• Dirty AF ... Check!
• Slightly warped ... Check!

I don't even know where to begin. Maybe I clean them first so that when I go to flatten them, none of the gunk gets baked in. I'm guessing milling comes after flattening

C&J TH canes are also longer than Paulson TH canes by a few mm.

 

[jpietrella]

One more down

BOOYAH

 

[RichMahogany]

These purple 414 chips are so dark that I thought they were black when first seeing them IRL

That right there is a beautiful chip! Would be sweet to find one of those.
