Unboxing chips - including some rare ones (4 Viewers)

Aztars. 100 mixed roulettes, 100x25s, 200x$100s, 100x$500s, and some oversized $1000s.

Remains of a huge TH&C set. One of the 1s broke. Again, I love the colors/patterns, but the set didn't excite me.

Tiki Ceramics. Fun.

Awesome sets here. Were you on CT as well? Some old school sets i haven't seen in a long time.

Thanks! I started on CT. I don't make it back so far as on the original buys, but they were a lot more available. I got some good deals and I've also spent a lot of money :-0.
 
Okay - you guys egged me on again. Here's another pass. Enjoy!

Random Plaques/Jetons.

Dragonara Plaques. I bought out a large collection from a passionate collector over time during a military deployment.

These are sharp. I love them - should have a full rack. I used them as tokens for a board game.

Wow this is truly incredible. Thanks for sharing it all with us! Awesome to see the unboxing from an old collector. Amazing what used to be so available. Can’t imagine what this is all worth now. A lot of “hoard alerts”!!!! Lol
 
So you moved and hadn't unpacked these chips?

How long have these amazing chips been boxed up?

Lots of gems, really an incredible collection.
 
This is so fun to watch, thank you!

BCC Farmhouse chips I think I remember them selling on CT and I was interested but I stupidly thought they were too expensive. Could they have been made for a person in France originally? That rings a bell for some reason.

I think you're going to be very pleasantly surprised at the price of those WTHC 1s if you decide to sell them...

I started chipping approx 2013 when I lived in Italy. I moved every 2-3 years. I bought/sold throughout, especially buying earlier with some sales. So always had some combination of chips at home with me (sometimes small places), a local storage unit of my own, and some long term government storage. Then there’s keeping a manageable footprint for the wife factor. Now I live in a rural area, so plenty of space.

Yes. I just took all the pictures posted.

I had a strong feeling that those would keep increasing in valve. I remember having over 3000. They were originally what caught my eye. I was somewhat disappointed by the fact that, to me, they feel cheaper, have warped ones, break, etc. the colors, patterns, and denoms are spot on. I got good money, although undoubtedly way less than they’re worth now.

That sounds right. They seemed expensive on CT and I thought Paulsons were the only thing of value at the time. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they are to handle. They work well with people who don’t know chips.
 
We've got through most. Here are a few more.

BG Dragonaras. The fracs seems to be "fakes" LM .25 and .05. The rest are BG chips. Awesome.
There are lots more non-BG chips in one of the boxes.

TRK Micro set. Any idea on the 1920? What about the mold for the orange .10s?

I like Casino Miamis. I sold a bunch of 5s/25s for way to cheap to make space hauling these around :-(.

Ceramic Hard Rock Albuquerque. I got a tourney set with 25s, 100s, 500s/1000s (oversized). I don't want to unbox these now. There are also roulette chips and some colored plastic Icon chips.

I have never seen that color combo on a Kings Crown $1 chip before. Normally they are solid off white, or off white with brownish spots. I've not seen the off white and light blue version before! Love it!

If you ever care to sell off any of the Dragonara Lm25 chips, I have been looking for a couple of barrels to use as a high value chip with my clay LGK Dragonara set, since it only goes up to £5. I would purchase, or I could trade a couple of the 43mm Lm500 chips if you would like. I don't see any of them in the pics you posted.
