Trade Wanted *used* Casablanca $5 (or other THC $5) and HP $20 - bait within (1 Viewer)

[pipdenny]

Hi all,

I want to build a small-ish used THC cash set using the few racks of jack cinci 1’s I recently acquired.

Want:

- THC spotted chips in used condition (but not bike tires) to use as $5 and $20 chips - will likely relabel (perhaps some fantasy chips?)
- non-traditional colors are good so long as it doesn’t tilt or confuse me. $5’s can be red, black, purple, blue, orange, yellow, etc. $20’s can be pretty much the same with the inclusion of green.
- open to all colors and edge spots
- 2-3 racks of “$5” and 1-3 barrels of “$20”
- priority is something that won’t destroy my wallet and won’t cause anxiety to put into play

I would be more specific about the exact chips I want if I had more knowledge of what’s out there. In fact, I could really use some advice!

EDIT: Casablanca $5’s and HP $20’s seem to be the ticket! Still open to other options!


What I have to trade:

AST hot stamp T25 x 40
AST hot stamp T100 x 40
AST hot stamp T500 x 20
AS Cash $20 x 60
AS Cash $2 x 100
Various milled THC solids in used condition (white, fuchsia, orange, blue, day green heavily used)
HSI mint $1a, $1, $1s, $5p, $5s, $25p, $25s
+cash as needed

Thank you!

I would get 1 more rack and make the AS $2 into $5's. Keep AS $20 as $20. done...

I feel like the FLV or VLV $5s would look good with your Cinci $1s.

Casablanca $5s and $25s come to mind. Finding actual $20s will be a challenge. These are available in varying levels of wear... from near mint to good used.

Note: There are several different flavors of Casablanca $5s and $25s. Check out all variations on mogh:

I like this idea actually - the AS $2's are a very underrated rack and make a good non-traditional $5 imo to pair with a light colored $1. If you do go that route, I have an extra rack in mint condition that I am looking to trade. Am in search of HSI $25s if you are interested in working something out there.

agree with the idea, the AS $2s are really nice and somehow not much love for them..

Dibs AS $20s Good luck with your search

 

[SiouxperStack]

With prices the way that they currently are, it’d probably be best get live 5s from an actual casino.

This is probably your best bet or maybe some Outpost 5s. I know a racks of Beaver 5s also went for a good price at auction. Good luck with the hunt and let us know what you find, with pr0n.

I have some of the gold chips shown in the vlv pic for 20s if you want them. Not vlv but the same Chip (casino de Mexico 200).

Some great input here, thanks everyone! When I get off work today I’ll get back to you all

Agreed... I’ve got a set in progress which similarly will use three racks of the AS $2s as fives. I may do an orange label to pick up the edge spots.

Pretty hard to get red THCs in any quantity lately, at least in decent condition. That’s what got me thinking about the brown AS $2s.

Thinking more about the $20s. These will likely need to be California card room chips... Two come to mind that should be fairly available (either Outpost or Huntington Park):

 

[pipdenny]

So far Casablanca $5 and HP $20 are winning in my book. Plus no need to relabel!
Beautiful!

Bump - narrowed down to Casablanca $5 (yellow/purple spots) and HP $20.

Still open to other options, but these seem to be right for me.

Edit: if you’ve got Casablanca 5’s in VG condition, @toothpic is seeking those. I’ll take any that are worse than what he’s after, or better ones after he’s done with his set

Thanks, @pipdenny ! Very gracious of you.

While I don't need absolutely minty chips, I'd be happy to buy them if that's all that comes up. Below is a picture i pulled from a previous classified add. The condition I'm looking for are the middle row of chips, especially the two barrels on the right.

Safe to say the last rack is the condition you're looking for?

 

[pipdenny]

I wanted to match the condition of the typical used jack cinci 1’s. So probably the last barrel on the right of the middle row, as well as the left few barrels of the third row. But I will certainly take racks in the condition of any of those in the third row, I just want to avoid total bike tires.

I know you’ve been looking for a while so I don’t want to step on your toes with this brand new project. I’d take any of the ones you’d reject, as well as any nicer ones after your set is done

[RivieraDanny]

If I can get a couple minty racks I’ll sell you my couple used racks!

Bump

 

[pipdenny]

Bump! Looking for some HP 20’s, will buy by the barrel. Also some THC 5’s by the rack

 

[pipdenny]

Sorry for the double bump but I’ll also take THC black 100’s that can be murdered to make 20’s
