Canceled 1 Rack Aria $3 (1 Viewer)

[XBobdog]

I harvested 2 racks of these chips for relabel about a year ago. I only need one rack.

But hey, why not get 2...(Note: with the exception of the broken chip, I did not "cherry pick" the best 100, they are all very close to the same condition)

Chips are in OK shape. Stand on edge, but well used. Shown is the 1 chip that is broken.

They have been cleaned not oiled.

I am returning these to Vegas in 2 weeks. If someone wants, $320 shipped CONUS.

never mind. GLWS

wow those look amazing. I am leaning toward 70s and 80s casinos for my mixed set.

These are fantastic colours but too modern for what I am going for.

I like your style. I went pre 70's casinos, but would have cheated with some dimes from a 70's casino, but didn't get them, but wish I did.

These are a no-brainer for $320, IMO. I wish I had a use. Wondering if the OP would offer to trade in and replace the busted chip on his upcoming trip, to make the rack complete. Might attract a buyer at little cost to the seller (just time).

EDIT: If you do end up returning a rack, PLEASE cherry pick the remaining rack for yourself.

The chips I am committed to so far is the current Caesers 1s and am leaning toward the current Flamingo 5s. I like the look of the Flamingo 5s and all the history behind the Flamingo. Flamingo 5 chip isn't really a historical looking chip but I just like all the name brand and mystique associated with the Flamingo.

I am planning to emulate AfterTheFact's Sahara 50c chips. I was fortunate to pick up the Desert Oasis 3 and 20 chips.

The only part of my set that I don't really like is the Monte Carlo 1s which I use as dimes. Monte Carlo doesn't fit with the era/theme I want. Yeah they are Vegas but MC is still too modern. I would prefer to have dimes that are: Binions, Riviera, Sands/Dunes, El Rancho Vegas, Hotel Last Frontier, Desert Inn or something similar. I will probably have to do a custom relabel job on the dimes as there are none that I like and are also just so hard to find in qty.

Mint brown Dunes hot stamp dimes are out there... I have one.

I have never seen a dime chip that I like. IMO they have ugly base colors (brown/grey/white) and often no edge spots. I love the idea of building a set out of "authentic" chips from a casino but will make an exception where a relabel project allows for much better looking chips.

Also I will need minimum 2 racks...not sure any dimes are out there in that quantity from LV.

Mine is mint and wasn't terribly hard to find. My guess is there are more out there.

That chip doesn't do it for me aesthetically. It is great from a history perspective but I just wouldn't get excited seeing those racked up. Bit bland base color and no edge spots. I am not afraid of embarking on a long term search but only if the booty is worth it. I wouldn't search high and low to get 1 or 2 racks of those.

I would sooner relabel a Palazzo, NYNY, or Paris LV 1 chip.

The main reason I did not cherry pick the chips is they are remarkable similar in wear. No new sharp edges to pick out.

I will just sell them to the casino for $300. This is not a high profit margin sale.

I guess we have different definitions, Caesars and Flamingo are both pre 1970 casinos, but I like where you are going , Here is some encouragement

I love it.

Yeah I realize the chips themselves are not old school but the casinos and their legacy are old.
