I have a nice piece of history that I’m listing for sale/trade. These tournament chips were used at the Aviation Club de France (Paris), including the May2011 NLHE France Poker Masters pro event (France Poker Tour 6). Here are some videos with the chips in the hands of pros, which is pretty cool.

The Club closed in 2015, after 100+ years of operation. Here is a bit of information on the closure:

The set has 1,300 chips, and a very nice multi-table breakdown. I typically run three tables of T10k (30 players), but we ramp it all the way to T50K for our league championship (an epic annual event):
Our T50K Championship is capped at 20 players @ T50K, but the set can accommodate 30 players by adding just n=10 more T25k that are out there (or plaques). Some current owners may even chime in here with some available T25k chips.
I’m also including a full set of the jetons (the big ones act as dealer buttons), plus n=30 of the 100 Euro jetons that I use for bounties.
Price for everything is $1,700 via FF (or regular PayPal, but buyer pays fees), plus actual shipping (it’ll take 2 LFRB, so ~$40 CONUS). The price is pretty much what I’ve got in the set, so let me know if you are interested in adopting it. Also available for pickup at the MinneMania meet-up in September! I am open to trade offers with other chips to fill out some sets (e.g., Empress Star secondary tournament chips, TRK Deadwood tournament denominations). Shipment is FOB my post office, but I can buy additional insurance at the post office if you wish to add payment to do so. I will also sell internationally, provided the buyer assumes the risk. The entire package(s) will be double boxed, padded like crazy, and tape sealed. I’ve never lost a chip in shipment, but you might be swearing at me when you are opening it up! Also willing to ship to two buyers if you collaborate on a chop.
