Windwalker’s Chipping Journey in Pr0n0grAph1C Detail (15 Viewers)

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?
iPhone. It’s the sun refraction quality today. I just need to play with the white balance a bit.
 
You know I'm only busting your balls.

But for real, I'd sponsor a few decks as a giveaway prize in the spirit of the holidays.
Let's say... My Dec giveaway is gonna be a doozy IMO.... Happy to give away some decks too.

I won't busy WWs tread anymore then I normally do. I'll PM ya towards December and we can get some decks in some peeps hands for free. :)
 
Here’s my first finalized THC mixed set. It isn’t perfect, but I love it.

So, @JFCJ brought up something I had never noticed -- all 3 racks of my Aztar 100s are faux inlays, I think -- from the zoomed in picture, they sure seem to be. Does anyone know for certain?

Yeah for some reason, I thought they were real shaped inlays, but the ones I had are long gone, and I don't recall so well these days.

100% shaped inlays....what I noticed more is the stack hight difference between the Aztar hundo's & the Eddy's
Non shaped inlays always have a 2e 'rim' on the inlays

Uh oh...

Time to hit those tiny classified ads again.

Seriously, though. I hope someone weighs in on a good way to know for sure that doesn't involve pulling the inlay out. And I hope they're true shaped inlays, not faux! I suspect most of the experts here would be able to tell in a heartbeat by seeing it in person, and at the same time help you see the difference as well. Good luck!
 
Used yes...but still VGC
You need casino used ones that have that difference in stacks...intrigued

Great set btw...love the PC
I just went back and checked -- the Eddie's are a tinge taller than all the other stacks, include the mint People's choice. Interesting.
 
Yours looks real, but his doesn't. And if you take a look at the chipguide, the one they show is definitely a faux shaped inlay.
Very strange; there must be two different versions
Yep, the 2 racks I have out are faux shaped, looks like -- I got them both from @bluegill. Maybe he has an answer?

That casino was open for 24 years - I can only guess that at some point they added on and that happened after they stopped making shaped inlays?
Cool mystery, anyway.

Yeah, that makes sense. Just strange to me that its surfacing now, and that it wasn't a known thing on PCF. I thought they were shaped inlay chips, which is why I bought them. I guess its going to be an important distinction in buying them now, I wonder what it does to the value of one type of chip versus the other.
