Love this guy’s channel. He posted a lot of old coverage. No one seems to have the 2005

Looks like they were not used in 2005 for the $10K Circuit event that they were made for (in favor of the 39mms). Not clear if they've ever been actually used in a tournament?

Ok I believe I got to the bottom of it. And now I remember handling these chips before. These chips weren’t used in play during 2005 for tournaments. They were used in 2005 and for a few years after but were buy in lammers. They were exchanged for cash for tournament entries and paid out to satellite winners. They likely only went up to 10k. In a few years following, they still paid these out to single table and mega satellite winners to use as their buy in for circuit events.

I know I have a picture of the white ones in my possession somewhere. Old device or cloud storage.

Makes more sense as to why the 5k then 10k.

Apparently this fat hat/lammer set also had 50k chips. Could have been used as payouts as well or buy-in collection in total. I’ve asked some of the OG players back in 2005, no one can remember that set being in play, other than as lammers.

I remember getting a yellow 5K after I won a mega satellite into the main event. I think it was 2004 or 2005 not sure which. Hoping to pick one up in the auction or sale or whatever.

Back in those days the winners of those would walk the signup line for tournaments offering to sell them at a small discount. I was approached a few times, but at the time I was very wary and never bought any. I would have cashed them anyway.

Just to understand what the difference is between "Jambo" and "Enhanced Graphics" from USPCC.
Apparently, the USPSCC realized their jumbo images were too much. However, they're still keeping the old labels on the boxes, simply writing "Jambo." However, it's actually a different graphics size, somewhere between jumbo and standard. And in my opinion, it's perfectly optimal.

In any case, for this price it’s a real find!

that would be so called "blackjack" size indexes

 

[phenompoker]

That's a NICE chip transfer and storage case. When's the auction???

In the official catalog, they call it — “enhanced image tech art,” and it matches the labeling on the packaging.

Strange, my tracking # still says “USPS Awaiting Item”. I wonder if mine is one of those packages that just arrives, even before the tracking starts.

Mine said that for I think 24 to 36 hours then now it’s 3 steps ahead and accepted and in transit with a delivery date.
