Got some goodies sent home when I was in Finland and it was exciting to get back to open them yesterday! Got some more awesome TRKs and then some added extras from the same place that I did not know were coming with. Then a fun convention chip with a Finnish flag and then my first illegal chip and make that a RACK of them! Terrace Club $10 illegal casino chips from East St Louis, Illinois apparently from the 1940-50s, super happy with everything that I got. I also made a fun video talking about them and unboxing them if you'd like to check it out you can click here. Enjoy!

A few barrels of fun showed up today! I already had a barrel of the $1,000’s but took the pic with the family
They say you’ll always remember your first …
The labels turned out fantastic! Different image on each side of the chip.
I’ve been working on this chip set for the better part of a year, and many people have contributed in one way or another. Thanks to @Quicksilver-75 , @Eloe2000 , @Josh Kifer , @BearMetal , @BarrieJ3 and of course @Gear ! And to those of you who I pestered for opinions while the finishing touches were made to the design.
Now I’ve got a little bit of work to do (in addition to finishing off my custom bounty chips and probably another cut card design). A new dealer button design is a given.

Congrats! These came out beautifully and the color matching is perfect.
Wow, I can't believe how great they turned out James!

Thanks @Tommy for the mouse pad and bonus stickers/coasters. Thanks @allforcharity for the CDI shaped inlay $100 for my sample set and I am keeping an eye out for the 3 chips you need! Some eBay finds for my Kings Crown sample set.

Super fast shipping by CPC/USPS led to a nice surprise mail day (originally scheduled for Wednesday!):
Some white starbursts from @Spinettis Gaming just arrived
At first glance, I thought they might have been light gray chips because of all or the dirt built up on them. They cleaned up really nicely with oxyclean and a magic eraser though:
After comparing them with some HSI 1a chips that I have, I am pretty sure these chips are actually off-white instead of white, but they're beautiful regardless and will work well for my purpose (fracs for a solids set I'm building).

I'm 99% sure these are white. Off white appears almost greyish and it's almost unmistakeably not plain white. These have a brightness to them that off white just doesn't have.
Thanks for the info @jpietrella . I came to that conclusion after seeing this color difference:
But it sounds like it's just exceedingly difficult to return used white chips to their original color and comparing them to mint/new chips isn't a great way to gauge the color

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. Not sure how you clean them but doing a quick couple minute soak in oxi-clean + blue dawn + scrubbing will work some wonders.

Just a single but cool to get an in-person look at part of the inspiration behind the BTP design today!

Just discovered this thread today. Want to shout out to @Tim Kutscher for hooking me up with a Garden City sample set and db all the way from Germany. I used to play there 15 years ago when I first got to the area.
Also shout out to @Tommy for the mouse pad, @Steppenwolf for the Arkham Casino db, @Thomacetti for the barrel of 500s that came all the way from Belgium in a surprisingly cool numis tube!

Same way I got one but that’s even better condition than mine. Great pick up! (/if you ever let go I could use a condition upgradeWhen you're not a singles collector but a personal grail chip of yours is hidden in a crappy eBay lot:
not surprised at the packaging job (the envelope was it)
I know it's just a grey 414 non-shaped inlay $1 chip but I've wanted anything from this actual casino for a while.

Thanks @ImCrossland. One more barrel of T1000's to go!

Nice pickup. I know I would pay more for the Treasure Bay $1 than the rest of that pile combined.When you're not a singles collector but a personal grail chip of yours is hidden in a crappy eBay lot:
