300 Oaks Card Club $5 So they do exist in quantity, that’s a game changer.

Was working on this for a little while. Never got anywhere. Looking forward to see what you have in mind for them

First, I have to clean them. (Well, I have to get @JeepologyOffroad’s help cleaning them )

They’re coming sharp and square, but FILTHY.

Quick bath in the ultrasonic will bring these babies back to life

Sexy time with more yellow 5s

 

[PocketAces]

Yep, once cleaned they will pop. Nice haul! It’s great that you are getting all these chips from the outside and « bring » them here on PCF. It is incremental knowledge for all of us I think

 

[Windwalker]

Yep! The edges are nice and sharp too.

Lovely!! Yellow hotstamp $5 are a rarity!

Need a hot hundo to go with them

(that’s how far I got with my mixed hotstamp set)

I’ll take the barrel, if you’re offering.

 

[PocketAces]

I’ll take the barrel, if you’re offering.

I still have this idea of putting a mixed Cali hotstamp set together. I had lost hope of finding a good $5 but seeing you finding not one but three (!) racks of Oaks Card Clubs gives me hope again

 

[BonScot]

That would work too:

These are my new favourite chips. Did this place actually open or was another of these places that ordered chips and then didn’t open?


Could be an opportunity here... I’m sensing a “scrub zebras” NAGB

Full coke giraffe lineup ftw

Just back from my holiday to Columbia... nothing to declare Mr. Customs official

I'm curious to know, how many of these finds have been cheap/random find pickups from the Internet where the buyer might be a classy woman needing bail money for her partner? v tracking down known collectors and making them an offer they can't refuse?

I’d estimate, for my off-forum finds:

- 30% Randoms who aren’t chippers
- 40% collectors / enthusiasts
- 30% scavenger hunts in estate sales weekly

Those totally filthy chips may need a little more work than the ultrasonic. Sometimes dirty chips that have been stored for a very long time have reacted with the gunk on the surface, and may require some magic eraser work after the detergent bath.

Lineup for my inaugural PCF game tomorrow evening in LA.

I like that you are carrying the colors from one chip to another without a dirty stack risk.

 

[Windwalker]

Living the dream! Love it.

Hahah, trying! Some of these finds are so pretty!

 

[Windwalker]
