Can you at least post a pic of you and the crotchety old man broing down on the porch? That would really make me laughI 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.

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.

Would love to see this all racked out like @kk405 did instead of an old man on a porch!

Im afraid you were beaten the punch with a fantasy white chip with red and gold spots. Happy to claim one rack of yours, and I won't take my copyright claim any further@navels and I were talking about our Lakeshore sets today and lamenting the lack of leaded 3d38 chips in color and quantity to relabel for higher denoms.
Reminded me of these fantasy mock-ups I did for a Lakeshore extension. Sigh.

Yes but who lets facts get in the way of a good hustle.

This afternoon’s project was adding lighting into the individual compartments of the Reldom chip cabinets. Here’s an example of one of the cabinets, with just the bottom left compartment left dark. Makes a huge difference at night when I’m hunting for chips!

Are those Butterscotch???
I love Butterscotch! I was actually going to put an ad up for any butterscotch suggestions. These are probably way out of my price range anyway.
Congrats!
Gold is more butterscotch than butterscotch is butterscotch

Which one of these pictures is more representative of what it looks like in-person? Is the saturation on the first one dialed up to bonkers or is the second one more muted than it actually is?
My picture sucks lol. Very dark. I just took that real quick to check the colors.

Clowns should be the poster chip for PCF since this place is such a circus
