I have some of the same Empress $5 chips as you, but different $25s. Do you know if all your $5 chips are the 'brigher red' or the 'darker red' variety, (see pic below, 'darker red' is on the left).
I have some full racks of the 'brigher red' $5 + 97 brighter red + 43 darker red variety.
If the shade doesn't matter, I'd be willing to sell you some darker red chips, 9 or up to 40, (or trade for lighter red variety, assuming I can fill the rack with 97).
