220x the Bear Claw $100s? geeeeeeeeez

My thoughts exactly. I have exactly one, which is the only one I've ever seen.

I have exactly one of the white $500s, which is one of only two I've ever seen.

Where do you find this stuff??????

 

[Rbonus012]

I have a couple oversized $500’s and know where more are. They are out there.

Yeah, I think I paid $40/pc for the two $500s I've had, this is simply unreal. Never actually seen a $100 for sale

Believe it or not, I place hundreds of classifieds in small local newspapers around the world, so that older collectors / people with attics and treasures can see them Once in a while, I get a big hit.

Really, all I can do is nod my head to that... such a simple, yet clearly effective way to drum up leads. Well played, sir.

I'm sure you used similar strategies when collecting coins etc.

I put an ad out at a local level myself a while back, but unfortunately, it only yielded 15 chips. . Got to start somewhere.

This is not Krish's first Rodeo at collecting stuff people. Nice find and bringing more chips to the community.

Years of collecting others things can come in handy. It’s how I found most of my comic books.

 

[Windwalker]

Are the capitol city 500’s oversized?

Yes, they’re IHC V1, 2v2w.

Old people do love their news papers.

Got a sample of one?

Welp, now we know how Krish made his money. It's all about the Tiny Classified Ads.

I remember these infomercials!!!

Nope, trade secrets

 

[davislane]

Nope, trade secrets

Looks like everyone will be buying the newspaper again to try and find one of your tiny ads.

And here I was being happy about finding a sample set of capitol city with a 50c, $1, $5, $20 and a bearclaw $100. Not so rare anymore

Awesome find for sure. Congrats. I believe these might be top 3 on your list pretty soon...

There are no fracs in the set I bought, unfortunately. Hoping @coolcustomer123 will now just sell me his set to add to mine

I'll trade you a frac for a $500.

And good luck with @coolcustomer123. I think you will need it, lol.

Hahahha, I was just kidding. He’s not selling to me. We Indians are stubborn folk.

Stubbornness pays off!

Now you need a Camino set in your collection - although, they are pretty well used and maybe that’s not your thing...

 

[Windwalker]

Brought a small subset of my Giraffes out for a photoshoot on the new topper. The inlays have a texture on them that cast a blu-ish tone within, will need to experiment with how to get rid of that.

I get that people don't like the inlay... those people are wrong.

 

[liftapint]

Yeah, gonna need to look more closely at the Starlites and Cap City (when that pron is available) to see how I'd rank them. Those Cokes are tough to beat though.

 

[chrismurda]

The giraffes are so much more impressive in person because of how those colors pop. It’s easy to forget the silly inlay when they’re in play.

The inlay is my favorite part. Look how fun it is!

 

[JMC9389]

Those $1's and $5's are just so sharp looking

The white balance and hue/saturation levels seem to be off a bit causing that blueish hue and oversaturation. What are you shooting with? And do you do any editing or just straight as shot?
