I should have said one of everything!

 

[JMC9389]

Yes, they are!

Grail cards, along with Cartamundi Belgian stock. Can't find them readily anywhere!

Yes, I had purchased directly from the manufacturer the remaining stock of the Bridge Jumbo Index Blue decks shortly after they discontinued making the bridge jumbo index plastic cards back in 2017. Unfortunately, they were out of the reds and I have been on a hunt for a very long time. I was lucky enough to come across 3 setups and two red decks to now have six full setups. These are by far my favorite cards and will now be able to play them instead of staring at my last setup!

I think I still have more blue decks so the search for more red decks continues!

This was waiting for me when I returned from Europe - thanks @Tommy

These things are more beat to shit than I thought, but at least the $20s are pretty and definitely keepers. At the price, I can't complain, just don't think they're gonna make the cut for putting into play.

Condition is all over the place on the $1s lol.

The $5s fit 21 to a barrel in Paulson racks which is a deal breaker for me, ugh.

Maybe find somebody with a 3d printer to make 64mm racks?

Damn I don’t think I’ve been this happy to miss a sale in my life haha. I was going to get a set just like this one. I woulda been pretty disappointed in the condition though especially since the soot doesn’t come off.

These all Sahara dunes?

Yep, thought they’d be in better shape than the LEs, and they might be, just barely.

 

[Marius L]

Yeah, damn. That was a surprise based on the pictures in the ad for sure...

The 20s are real stunning though.

 

[upNdown]

I guess I missed a memo - safe to assume this place burned down at some point?

 

[Marius L]

Yep, thought they’d be in better shape than the LEs, and they might be, just barely.

And apparently that soot(?) cleans off real nice, so I'm sure they will good after a couple days at the spa.

It doesn't come off? I thought I read it comes off super easily?

These $1s look almost burned on, I can try cleaning a few

 

[Bill_Man618]

I recall Jim saying that it was very hard to get off/didn’t come off. It was the main deterrent for me. Based off the photos in though it looks like it’s kinda become one with the chip if that makes sense. Seems like it’s not really surface level like hooker juice is.

he said it comes off everything easily EXCEPT THE 5S

Now you made me go look, because I was sure he said the exact opposite.

Looks like we were both right?

There is some brown soot on some of the chips. It comes off real easy on every chip, except for the $5s. It really sticks to yellow and is very hard to remove with a magic eraser. I will have to check to see how many have it.

 

[Bill_Man618]

Ahh that’s definitely better than it not coming off any of them. They’re all super worn though so idk if I would’ve been able to cherry pick enough 5’s for a set in the condition I wanted.

 

[BamaT8ter]

Thats Four Queens 25c #40. Two barrels down. Three to go.

Edit: God, what a terrible picture.

I’m usually a condition whore, but love these enough to make an exception here. I’m actually very excited to get them cleaned up and in the rotation.

If I gave myself a tetanus shot with a rusty spoon I would feel better about touching those chips.
