Windwalker’s Chipping Journey in Pr0n0grAph1C Detail (8 Viewers)

[John Conor]

Some Paulson fantasy lines had both round and shaped inlays for at least some of their denominations.
CDI98 has round inlays for all denoms, but also shaped inlays for $5, $25, $100, and $500s.
I believe some Scandias had shaped inlays as well - and some even on a different mold pattern (THC and Web)

And the Pyramid Casino fantasy chips had shaped inlays, but not rounds. There really wasn't a 'standard' configuration for home sets.

I have a couple chips with the same color scheme. You could hide a random dog in your set and see if anyone notices.

If you really wanted to tilt people you could throw in one RHC...

You need to get this photo blown up, framed, and hang it in your own poker room!

Hot dawg. Thanks for getting me these !

Sample barrels of today’s mail horde of 800 chips. Filthy filthy filthy. I really need to learn how to clean chips.

Could bring the ultrasonic with me and arrive early to the next gathering in order to show you how. Super easy.

 

[horseshoez]

Added note, ultrasonic doesn’t play nice with hot stamps. You’ll only want to use them on inlays. The stamp will practically go away with an ultrasonic. Only way to do those is by hand.

Sorry for hijacking: What about cleaning CPCs?

Soap and water only. Never use tsp it eats them

Many thanks!
Ultra-sonic out of the question too?

 

[horseshoez]

Many thanks!

The TSP combined with the high frequency waves is what ultimately leads to an effective cleaning. I wouldn’t recommend CPC’s being exposed to either. I also think that if you tried to just use the ultrasonic cleaner without the TSP, results won’t be great.

What about a drop of pure soap?
Asking basically about the future, 'cause I have some bright whites.

Toothpick followed by a toothbrush. I used dish soap. Worked for me.

Try it on the extras. Science is fun!

We have almost totally switched from TSP to Oxiclean on inlaid paulsons (we do not own an Ultra sonic, we hand wash every chip). For Hot stamps, and TRKs we only use soap with Oxi in it and a nail brush. Although I have had hot stamps in the oxiclean and have had zero issues with stamps.. just not brave enough on the higher value chips... more testing needed!

 

[FordPickup92]

I would never take the gamble. I'd just use dish soap with a wet magic eraser and gently wash them. I would imagine them being less dense and more porous the US would disturb the texture quite a bit

 

[allforcharity]

Nobody has yet posted a safe detergent for use with ASM/CPC chips in an ultrasonic cleaner. If anybody has done any testing, please speak up.

A hybrid Nevada / Cali lineup experiment for a potential relabel. Didn’t work, sadly. Doesn’t matter what it looks like in your head, you need to see them together to figure out if it works. This one sucks rotten eggs.

Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

Maverick $20 for the black chip?

Ain’t that the fuckin truth

You know I can own things and NOT murder them, right?

Is this what you mean?

Don’t lie. The thought crosses your mind from time to time.

Piss off the cali guys, hot stampers, NV guys, and Dave all within the same set. I'd say that's an accomplishment in itself

Edit: Always wanted a blaze $5 though

....... Yes.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. This thread is after all, my “journey”, John. Good, bad and ugly.

[Rbonus012]

Point proven! You are on the most wanted list for hot stampers

....... Yes.
