We've had quite a few inquiries about 43mm / 44mm chip trays. Unfortunately all of the ones we found in the Palm inventory were used. So, we're having a new batch made up with our injection molder. He told me these had only been run one time, back in 2013. I probably ordered too many (had to make their setup worth it). So...we're doing a presale on these chip trays!

Pricing for the presale will be $2.75 per chip tray, plus shipping. Each one holds 100 43mm or 44mm chips. If you were part of the recent Sunfly 43mm hybrid group by or if you have some of the Old West 43mm hybrid chips, these chip racks will be great for your sets! Presale pricing will be good through July 15, 2018.

We expect these to begin shipping the second half of July.

To order, PM the quantity you would like, your email address, and your mailing address so we can calculate the shipping, and we will send an invoice through Paypal.

Thanks,
Gene

Is there a minimum # to order?
 
Sorry, I’m confused. Is this sale for the new batch that will be created? When you say you ordered too many and they were old, or is this for the used ones? Txs
 
Gene, will these be made with the same mold as the Palms that have the 4 suits on the bottom of each barrel? If so I will be interested. (y) :thumbsup:
Interested to know this also.

I picked up some of those used racks from PGI prior to closing and was not pleased -- all are that flexible cloudy material (original Chipco racks, I'm guessing) and many were warped.

Looking for clear acrylic racks with the suits imprints as replacements.

Yes, these are the trays using the 4 suits mold.

You have to order at least one. Otherwise it isn't an order. ;)

The presale is for the new batch that hasn't been made yet. We're scheduled to have them ready to ship the second half of July.
 
I grabbed one of those suits mold racks. I don’t have calipers to show the length of the barrels, but I have some chips.
As you can see, the excellent condition Dunes $20’s are loose enough that you can jam two dimes in the end of the barrel.
The red Golden Eagles are 39mm, but I used them to show how dead mint Paulsons fit. There’s a tiny bit of space at the end of the barrel, but not enough to fit a dime. So I’d say the racks are just a hair bigger than Paulson racks.
The other green chips are 43mm sunfly hybrids. They’re tighter than the mint Paulsons - they still have a hair of play, but just a hair.
I’d say these racks are 100% perfect for sunfly hybrids, and 98% perfect for Paulsons.

How many will fit in a medium flat rate box, large flat rate box? This might help me determine how many I should get.
 
According to their website, they ship fedex ground. So you guys might be asking the wrong question.

How true. I like to quote Thomas Pychon who said "If you can get people to ask the wrong questions, than the answers don't really matter.

We ship Fedex and USPS. But I do have to admit some people are asking for flat rate box pricing when other shipping methods would be less expensive. I'd have to search through the "junk pile" to find some of the used trays and figure out exactly how many fit in each box. That's unlikely to happen anytime soon. For all of those who have asked for an invoice for a certain number of racks, I've taken an educated guess at the shipping. If I'm wrong, it will certainly be that I didn't charge enough, and it'll be my problem. If you're not sure how many you want to order, I'll do free US shipping for any order of 300 or more during the presale. ;)
 
Only a special oversize cage, mostly sold to casinos only.

Gene, any chance of you stocking or ordering some of those? Midwest and a couple of other distributors carry them....

I am also interested in this. Would love to be able to cage all my 43mms!
 
Yeah, I have one that I picked up on eBay years ago, and use if for my oversize GCOP ceramics. It's a tank.

But now I have three other all-43mm sets that face storage/display challenges. I'm using Member's Mark cases for transport, but 43mm birdcages on the shelves would be nice.
