SOLD Leaded Hotstamp PlayHouse Cardroom $5's (1 Viewer)

[Cord]

Hey Fellas,

This one's gonna hurt a little, but I'm releasing these back out into the wild.
These chips were from the PlayHouse Cardroom in San Diego California which ran from 1976-1983.
Chips are in razor sharp condition

$950/rack plus shipping
Thanks

I believe these are leaded, and this place may have had on stage dance entertainment. Im guessing the $10 were red.

They are Christy and Jones, not Paulson, right ?

I don't necessarily disagree, but would they be better off socked away in a dark closet forever? Genuine question.

Really nice chips, either way!

Can’t say I haven’t thought about it. One only need look at @JeepologyOffroad’s flamingo relabel set for inspiration

My dark closet’s a pretty nice place, more like a chip resort

Fair, but I only murdered those because they had no denom whatsoever. So not that usable sadly. If they were stamped with a 5 like these that would’ve been a dream

Nope.

What’s the likelihood of finding 2 more racks, I wouldn’t be able to do anything with only 2 racks of $5’s.

I think @JWC maybe have a few barrels in the same condition, not sure how many others he might have available

Are these the two racks from the JWC sale a few months ago?

I don't want to jack this sales thread, so is there another thread where this is discussed? I can understand "wanting" more chips, but I can't imagine a scenario where a single table "needs" more than 2 racks of $5s. Assuming there is plenty of bank with higher denoms. Unless you only play limit, in which case is even 4 racks enough???

PCF mandated minimum number of $5s = 400 per table

100% Correct. 5 is actually better with tips and jackpots. Mandated.

2/5 , 5/5, 5/10 will always run smoothly with plenty of 5s on the table, especially in raked games like at a casino.

I play in a 5/5/10 game 10 handed and everyone's first buyin is a rack of $5s at a min. The host has 16 racks of 5s as part of their set. By the end of the night 4-6 racks are removed due to rake and tips.

Moral of the story. More $5s the better.
