Canceled El Dorados and Lucky Derby's (1 Viewer)

I have a cray idea with a set of these for some reason. PM me a pic of the colors and the quantity available/price you want for them shipped.

For sale?

Nah, just pointing out that it has been done before, they look good together.

You almost made my life easy. Your picture is what inspired me BTW. Going to get some gear labels and make a semi custom well used THC heads up set. Basically need 100x of every color you pictured and was curious if there were others out there as well!

 

[luv2breformed]

I stole that, I knew I'd seen them on here before. They look really nice, tho.

I have leads on the LD oranges and the El Dorado Blues, but nothing in stone yet. Would like to find the greens and a 4th color as well.

Just FYI, I think the El Dorado $1s are casino dirty in that pic, and the yellow will get much brighter when cleaned. (I'm pretty sure the yellow spot on the el Dorado $1s is a Yellow or Canary Yellow, and not Mustard.) I don't know if it's the same yellow shade as on the Lucky Derby orange chips, it's close, but they still would go well together, IMO.

Here’s some pics of what I did.

I eventually ruled out the LD 1 because the four spots are large and they are blended in too much with the other same color spots.

YMMV but that’s how it worked for me.

This is what I am going with.

Don't be hating on someone without an ultrasonic cleaner.

I LOVE the yellow and red but how hard are they to find?

How many of the casino royals are you going to use? I’m using mine for T5000 so I don’t need as many.

Maybe some if us can trade our excess? Like my STT is

120 - 25’s
150 - 100’s
50 - 500’s
100 - 1000’s
40 - 5000’s

And I typically buy racks of these so I have excess unlabeled barrels, as well as racks that didn’t work.

I also really like this blue and Casino Royale. Great possibilities if people want to sell them.

Reds fairly easy, those yellows I harvested in California.

Awesome. Love these-- this set needs it's own thread. Really a great compilation and use of some older, casino worn chips. Someone should remind me to nominate these for the 2019 calendar/set awards, when that happens.

Thanks man. That’s my first “whole set” relabel and I’ll probably carry the theme on to some laminated inlays on some HHR chips in the future.

Afraid they’d never make it up against $6+ chips in a calendar. It’s all about the money there.

That's a nice set @ekricket! Now who lives near Manteca, CA to harvest some more of those $1s....

I always over buy. Currently I have 400 orange, 300 green, 200 blue, 300 brown and 200 of the royals. Once I figure out how big of a set I'm actually building, I'll get rid of the rest. Or buy more? We'll see.

Edit: Jesus - when I type out how many chips I have bought for this set, I think I may have a problem. :

 

[arch3r]

I'm thinking about replacing the brown LDs with primary empresses? Still a work in progress.

 

[Mike mac]

I'm in the middle of the same project and mixing in these with the eldorado greens and the lucky Durbys - going to be either amazing or make people's eyes bleed

Dang, I wish I would have snagged some of those. They go great with the LD1s and the ED fracs.

There's a rack of the Eldorado 1s on eBay...

If you ever want to unload any Casino Real $1 let me know! (Apologies for thread jack)

Here's another couple of photos of them together.

Same. Let me know too lol

 

[Kasper Storrs]

Everything about this thread is awesome. I have my remaining eldorado $1s, lucky Derbys and casino royals lined up for a similar project! Good luck @saleen121212 there should be more eldorados out there for you!

Edit: Sorry I see you are in the split for Lucky Derbys already! Good Luck!
