Windwalker’s Chipping Journey in Pr0n0grAph1C Detail (20 Viewers)

whats-in-the-box.jpg
 
I had not planned to share any pictures of my Delaware boat chip purchase, but when @kk405 graciously allowed me to have his Starlites, I felt like making an exception to create an insanely cool family picture. With only my ACF, Lakeshore and Grand Casino Gulfport sets coming close, this megaset is probably the crown jewel of my chipping collection so far.

For those of whom are unfamiliar with the history of these chips, I had published a post a few months ago that recounted it, the best I could gather, and I am reposting that below.


In October 1990, The cruise operator Stena Line decommissioned the Swedish-flag bearing ferry ship CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA selling it to the Greek-owned StarLite Cruises, who bought the ship in December 1990, renaming it the PACIFIC STAR. The ship, built in 1968, had originally been a ro/ro ferry called STAFFORD, but since renamed, reconcepted and rebuilt many times over the years.

The redesigned PACIFIC STAR sailed first in Apr 1991, a red-white-and-blue trimmed, Bahamian-flag bearing gambling ship, promising the West Coast's first and only one-day gambling cruise experience.


DE08B414-17BF-4117-8F8F-6A72676164BD.jpeg


The ship departed from San Diego's CST for an out-and-back 13-hour cruise including a 2 hour stop in Ensenada and Old Mexico, and then back to San Diego, by around half past ten in the evening. Up to 400 passengers could be easily accommodated on the 475 foot former ferry. It boasted sumptuous buffets, a full (but small) casino, sundecks, sports bars, hot tubs and Vegas-style entertainment. About an hour after leaving San Diego, the ship would be in international waters, when the casino became the main attraction - it had slots, video poker, blackjack tables, and of course -- two poker tables.

Unfortunately, the PACIFIC STAR sailed for only one season, making its last voyage in November of 1991.The chips I posted are from the first and only season the ship sailed. StarLite sold the ship to Island Breeze International, who moved the ship over to Miami, and for several years after that, operated it as a day-cruise gambling ferry from Dade county.

This is the last known photograph of the ship, from 2012, when it was called the ISLAND BREEZE. The picture shows a ship in disarray and neglect, a far cry from the "glistening and regal" PACIFIC STAR from almost two decades before. I haven't been able to find out if the ship was so old and used that it was decommissioned soon after.

That’s a decent amount of sample sets…

I was going to say…any extras you don’t need? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Is it the collecter in you that drives you to Jane a set this big? Just curious.

I agree about the 100. I love me some bear claw chips!

Fwiw, I finally see the bird vs the mustache :)
 
Found these solids with my initial on Feebay, and couldn’t resist. 1100 chipset.
Congratulations! I think that was a great choice.

A set of THC solids turned up recently here on PCF with my family initial on it, and the owner was very kind to sell them to me. As chips go they're "nothing special", just monogrammed solids that most people wouldn't look at twice except to mill them. But they're now one of my most treasured sets - because they're personalized for me, in a way that's simply not possible any more. While once these could be gotten directly from the factory with a clipped sales ad and an envelope, today there's simply no way to get these amazing chips (leaded to boot!) with your very own initials on them.

I hope you'll enjoy them!

Awesome set for sure!!! But my OCD keeps going to the 1 missing barrel of $100s (614 spots).

Incredible find. The best part about it (at least for me) is how difficult it is to pick a favorite chip. $100/$500/$1k are incredible chips but the $5 is nuts in itself. Glad you decided to share!

With only my ACF, Lakeshore and Grand Casino Gulfport sets coming close, this megaset is probably the crown jewel of my chipping collection so far.
