Also, I suddenly feel a lot less hesitant about stacking my chips 4 racks high!

Yes it does

The core of my resource has been created. The OP has been updated to send people to the resource.

The resource is cleaner, has more accurate and updated information, and a larger amount of pictures due to lack of image restrictions. Shoutout to @sleepypiggly who provided me with a ton of incredible pictures.

I am currently now working on a "chip timeline" that documents any changes year to year. If you have any additional things you would like to see in the guide let me know and depending on how practical it is I can try to add it.

Had to jump in. I’d love to know how these came to market, and what happened to the t25’s. I had one way back, but sold it.

I can't give you facts, but I know a little of the behind the scenes info and I can give you educated guesses.

I think the misnomer is people think that the chips on eBay were "saved from the shredder". The more likely story is that the majority of the chips hit the shredder and a hidden stash was found at a later time. The lack of T25s or any chip missing can be explained that they weren't put in that stash for some reason. My best guess would revolve around a timeline, but the fact that the Peach 25Ks were part of this stash is my biggest head scratcher.

The 25, 50K Hot Pink, and 250K Almonds are the biggest chips missing from the stash, all of which were retired by 2018. But why are the Peach 25Ks there? Don't have a clue.

Based on how well they have held up and their weight, I wonder if these chips were in the semi-leaded clay formula phase.

Several if not a majority come in over 9.5ggggggs
