Wanted Want to Start a Highway 9 Set (2 Viewers)

[12thMan]

So after getting my first set of casino Paulsons I am hooked, I need to have more and one set I have always wanted to build is a Highway 9 set. I have a few reasons for liking them, a couple of the biggest are I live in Lake Stevens so it would be really cool to have a casino chip set from my town, not to mention the fact that I used to play there a bunch and my one and only royal flush in my poker career was flopped at the Highway 9.

I have done zero research (but will start very soon, probably right after this ad goes up) on this chip set, I have no idea how desirable these chips are nor do I have any idea of numbers that were sold...I have no idea if building a set of these is a reasonable goal for me but I thought I would see what was out there.

I have very little of these chips, I am in need of any and all denominations, so please send me a message if you have any you wouldn't mind parting with indicating what you have, what condition they are in, and how many you would be wanting to sell, we can go from there after that.


Thanks!!

Needed: A lot

Needed: More than above, so a lot a lot

Needed: Not so many, but still a lot

Needed: Are you crazy? Look how sexy that thing is, I need A LOT!

Sorry mate...you just missed a couple of auctions of 1s and 5s on eBay! I have none of these chips, but I wish you the best!

And I agree...I'm not generally a fan of the spot pattern on that hundo, but that one is dead sexay!

When I saw this thread, I actually assumed it was posted right after the auctions ended because @12thMan picked up those auctions. I had snipes set for both (although it was really the ones I would have wanted more). I considered increasing my bid at the last minute (the bid were already higher than my snipes this morning), but decided to go higher than I originally set my limit at.

I've never seen the 100 but the others turn up from time to time. It might take a while but I don't think you'll have too much trouble building a set.

I'm also luke warm on that spot pattern, but I really like the colors and I think they look a lot better in real life, and they definitely look pretty good in pics.

Oh, and thanks for the heads up on the auction...you will notice that I said I only have a few of these chips, in all actuality in would have been more accurate for me to say I have payed for a few of these chips, I haven't quite got them yet.

That was me sir (saw your conversation right before I saw this thread)... I saw those chips when they first went up and had been watching them while thinking about jumping on them. I decided a few days ago what my maximum I would pay would be and tried to resist bidding on them early. I wouldn't have gone much higher, my highest bid wasn't much more than I got them gor, and actually the ones came pretty dang close to my max. I think I payed a little to much for them given there condition (seem a little beat up, but again, I don't know shit about these chips so they might be in real good or real bad compared to what else it out there, zero research isn't usually the best way to jump into a certain chip set I know), but I wanted them to see if once I got them in my hands I really wanted to build a set.

I've never seen the 100 but the others turn up from time to time. It might take a while but I don't think you'll have too much trouble building a set.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm seeing quite a few bought and sold over the years, not much lately though...

I put a low bid in and wanted them , but don't need them. Good luck, and we need to make a dealer button someday

Me too.

but don't need them.

Me too.

Agreed

 

[pltrgyst]

They'd have gone for more, but my auto searches let me down on the $1s and $5s. :

12thMan, if you decide you're not building a set and want to sell, just give me a shout.

I really like the Highway 9's, and the hundo is my favorite hundo ever, bar none. Beautiful chip.

 

[bentax1978]

I've posted these on other threads, but figured this thread could use a little more chip p0rn.

 

[softchewy]

looks like we had a few bidders for that eBay listing here.. me included

 

[TheDeezer]

I'm not sure why I got a little excited when I read that... Somebody should probably stage an intervention for me...

Getting a clean punch with a large number of small projections is really difficult, according to @David Spragg. The 818 causes headaches already, evidently.

Interesting. For some reason, I was under then impression that they didn't do 818 chips.

 

[Hot Nuts]

My kids thinks my GV set is ugly. Played with them this week. This hundo is truly sexy.

 

[atomiktoaster]

Interesting. For some reason, I was under then impression that they didn't do 818 chips.

I think you're right. No 618 listed either. That's probably the context it came up in ("Y U no 818??").

 

[bentax1978]

I think you're right. No 618 listed either. That's probably the context it came up in ("Y U no 818??").

The 618 is listed on their "other complex spots" sheets (L8). I couldn't find an 818 on that sheet, though there are L9/10/11 chips on there that are more complex with an equal or larger number number of 1/8" spots on them.

 

[links_slayer]

yep, you gotta pay for them - and they may limit the qty you can order.

 

[Ben]

The 618 is listed on their "other complex spots" sheets (L8). I couldn't find an 818 on that sheet, though there are L9/10/11 chips on there that are more complex with an equal or larger number number of 1/8" spots on them.

The "ds18" spots aren't 1/8' spots - they're 1/4' spots with 1/8' clay inserted. Much easier (to punch at least.) I think as far as CPC is concerned, an 818 is as hard as it gets.

Re: Paulson 31 spots, yeah they're cool, but I don't think I've ever seen one that would pass CPC's QC (look at the pics above from a QC perspective - they remind me of Courage's little green deuces from Voldemott that caused the uproar of the decade and began the demise of ASM...)

 

[12thMan]

That is true Ben and something that I've definitely noticed before that the more punches and the skinnier the spots get the more they deform. I think it still looks good, and we all appreciate some of the "not perfect because they are art" type things, but some of those look a little shady. Out of the pictures above I think the Hwy 9 looks the best as far as good spots go, could have just been cherry picked for the picture on the chip database (that I blatantly stole with out crediting) though.

Interesting. What about something like the 6DSA18? Is that also a larger punch and then just a base color insert used in between the other two spot colors?

 

[Ben]

Sorry, I should have said "d18" spots above, not ds18. I'm not sure what they use to make the 6ds18 pattern - I don't THINK they have a punch for that, so it would have to be something creative.

 

[pltrgyst]

....I think the Hwy 9 looks the best as far as good spots go, could have just been cherry picked for the picture on the chip database (that I blatantly stole with out crediting) though.

Don't think so. That shot would be typical of the chips in my two racks.

 

[bentax1978]

Don't think so. That shot would be typical of the chips in my two racks and the rack I'm going to sell to benatx1978.

FTFY.

 

[pltrgyst]

FTFY.

Yeah, in a package deal with the Vineyards and Mullet Bay CICs (No humans accepted in trade, regardless of age or gender.)

@12thMan

So what did you think of the H9 chips you got from eBay?

 

[12thMan]

I love them @bentax1978 !!! Not so much for the "these are the perfect colors/inlays/whatever" factor but just for the overall coolness of the set. I am full steam ahead and if I ever get off my ass and get a classified up for my china clay sets I'll be much more active in the hunt, including a few racks of fives if they are still around.

I'm really excited about these chips, not only do I love the set for the nostalgic value of being in my town and the other things I mentioned, but these are also the chips that got me into chipping. I can't remember exactly what I was searching for on the web (cards I think) but I happened to run across a thread on chiptalk that @UW85 made with his Highway 9's (also Aces if I remember right). Seeing that thread made me register for an account on chiptalk and I ended up private messaging (sorry, I started a conversation ) with UW85 and he was nice enough to respond back to a complete stranger and told me about the chiproom and other things about the community. The conversation with UW85 was the last straw in joining the forum and getting into it, I'll always remember what a nice guy UW85 and Redbelly were when I was new. I explicitly thanked them in my introduction thread on chiptalk and still today I owe both of them a debt of gratitude because even if they don't know it they were big reasons I spend way to much on poker chips, I've never had a more positive experience being new on a message board. Two class act guys for sure, thanks again to them both and another thanks to the mismanagement at the Hwy 9 that led to us having these chips!! (although, I would love to have a cardroom five minutes from my house again. The old building is a dentist office now and whenever I show up with a few buy ins they look at me funny.)

Oh, and Bentax, I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot to post the story of these chips showing up from eBay. I was in my garage when the USPS guy pulled up (it was a signature confirm thing) and I met him at his mail truck. He reaches down to pick up the package and I hear a noise that I know is about three hundred poker chips loose in a box. I think "oh shit" just as a Highway 9 $1 falls out of the folds of the box where it isn't taped onto the lap of my mail guy. I instantly start wondering how many chips have been lost between Hawaii and Lake Stevens and start dreading the process of getting my money back. On my way into the house another chip sneaks out the bottom of the box even though I'm holding it so that won't happen, at that point I mentally estimate I'll have at best around 250 out of the 300 in the box. I open it up and the guy had thrown three racks of chips, wrapped with two layers of saran wrap (that are now obviously shredded) and then put those three racks of "wrapped" racks in the shipping box with no other packing/securing. LOL I'm pissed because I want the chips more than a refund. I start stacking chips and get to the end and realize that I am only missing TWO chips, and then I remember the two that fell out of the box that are in my pocket, I add them to the short stack and BOOM I have all 300! I couldn't believe it, two fall out between signing for the package at the curb and my front door but ZERO are missing or even damaged! Bad way to pack chips, but sometime it's better to be lucky than good!
