The international chip smuggling ring has successfully delivered their first shipment from the US to Scotland to Germany. The three racks on the right go to @anstossfreak who keeps hoarding amazing old school Paulsons...

Let’s all cross our fingers for my flat rate boxes awaiting pickup Saturday.

I've been pretty restrained, so this is the first chip-ment in a while. Thanks @JWC this is perfect as my new Nevada nickel!

I'd appreciate suggestions on a $25 to complete the set, thanks.

Il n'y a pas de quoi mon ami. Glad that they arrived safely. France is a long way from Seattle.

Double box and extra tape, people, and your package will be delivered in this condition.

Got my chiproom sale items today. One of the 25s suffered a terrible fate at some point. Roulettes were in better condition than I expected as well.

I live for chip mail!!

Review incoming of what's in this next pic

 

[JMC9389]

My goodness, what an ending to this week!

The happy family thus far. Going to get two more racks of the $100 secondaries from Jim and one more rack of watermelon 25's from I don't know where, and there's going to be my bizarro set!

$100's as dimes or dollars for high buy in games
$25's as quarters
$5's as 50 cents or actual value for high buy in games
$1's as face value for low buy in or as $10's for high stakes games

This may tilt some, but oh well

Most likely your players

Get some labels and go this route

green quarters
BLACK DOLLLARS!!!
and keep the red as the pretty $5

Think I'm keeping these for life and getting custom labels. The Jack Detroit white dollars have been pretty hard to find. Not sure I'll find another rack of those anytime soon.

I do plan on making the $100's dollars at @detroitdad 's behest!

Oh well, tough luck. I'll relabel them eventually. Love the idea of the black dollar. I'm fine with making that and the watermelon the workhorse chips for the set.

Depending on what your stakes are you don't need that many nickels really. I am sure if you put a want ad out there someone will cough some up.

Can't wait to see the label designs. WOOHOO another member of #TEAMBLACKDOLLAR

Empress $1s?

Nice little eBay find

Oh, yeah...haven’t been to the strategic chip reserve’s PO Box in a few weeks...

...but wife says “chores first”....

...but wife says “chores first”....

Opening the box to get inside is a chore. Just saying. I think you can use that in your defence when you open them first

 

[gopherblue]

Told me I could open one. Going from smallest to largest.

Holy moly these are gorgeous. And my original thought on colors for breakdown (on right) is confirmed awesome.

But as nice as these are, they are waaaaaay to slippery for my taste.

It's really sad how slippery they are, on the verge of borderline unplayable. Love the design and colors.

 

[Perthmike]

I'll be keeping my set just to look at, even if I don't like them when I eventually get them in play. I'm too attached to them

 

[allforcharity]

Picked these up today

Many thanks to @wonderpuddle for the 4 barrels of LV live $1s (Longhorn, Circus Circus, Westgate, and Eastside Cannery) for BOLO and @colter ripton for the wonderful Copa Fuchsias which will be used as a backup colour for my roulette milling project! Truly a wonderful community full of helpful hobbyists here!

BOLO pr0n to be updated once these get cleaned and oiled!

 

[gopherblue]

First round of chores/errands done...

41 vintage large crown hotstamps. Awesome look— the black chips are chalky and may need some oil.

 

[gopherblue]

More...

 

[saleen121212]

Now I need 2 racks of ones!

 

[gopherblue]

Oh, baby...we’re baaaaack!

First set I ever owned. Sold years ago and regretted it. Now, with a plan for muuuurrrrderrr in mind to make more playable....
