I’ve seen some incredible collections on this site. How and where do you find complete sets and full racks? Will the casinos sell them ?
 
You can “harvest” live chips from casinos. Some states/countries require casinos destroy chips no longer in use. Some connected chippers/investors buy entire lots when the casinos go out of business that do sell their chips. Those are sold here my vendors like The Chip Room etc. occasionally. Usually a several times per year. Otherwise, racks and sets are bought and sold here on PCF in the classifieds or even more so privately via PM by active members. There is no “store” to buy off the shelf casino Paulsons other than maybe Apache who keeps some Paulson sets in stock. The identification, search, and acquisition is what makes this a hobby.

Best thing to do is look around and identify what you like and then start searching. It takes some time but people are helpful here if you reach out.

Also, I could be wrong but it appears someone may be teasing a new casino chip hoard acquisition and we might see some new chips on the forum here:https://www.pokerchipforum.com/forums/punk-donkey-t10k.116/
 
The easiest way to acquire a complete, playable set of ex-casino chips is to purchase one from another PCF member in the Classifieds and/or purchase one from a Vendor when they are offered for sale. My only advice is to know what you want, save a stash of ready money, and jump when you see it come up. It's a harsh, competitive world out there. But also a kind, helpful one, too. Just keep on asking questions and searching for answers that satisfy.
