*Another question* Chip identification help (1 Viewer)

[BigLittleSlick]

Anyone know what kind of chips these are? A buddy is thinking of buying the cases and asked if I could help figure out if they are worth it. I can't tell from the pictures what they are.

I already told him what the Phil Helmuth DVD is worth

Left case looks like ceramics.

yep, look like chipco classics to me.

 

[BigLittleSlick]

Thanks! I think he is going to get them based on those alone. He said that it's mostly the $0.25 chips (300 of them), but that's what he wants for home games.

 

[BigLittleSlick]

My friend is asking what he should be willing to pay for them. Any advice on what a good price for 500 chips is?

300 $0.25
150 $0.50
150 $1
60 $5
40 $10

Chipco ceramics in the left case are probably worth ~ $.40/chip, the plastic ones in the right are trash

Thanks, I'll let him know. Just for my own curiosity, if they were higher denominations would they be worth more? Or are the fractional denominations worth more?

Honestly I think the fractionals were as hard or harder to find

Denomination-related value is much less a factor in fantasy sets. Although top- and bottom-denoms are still typically produced in fewer numbers, it's not to the massive degree of difference found in nearly all casino sets (which is what can make them somewhat rare and expensive).

I was curious about this too. Thanks!

I've got some micro-fracs in the ChipCo classic that I will probably put up for sale soon. So this was extremely relevant to me also.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm still learning

Millions...?

 

[BigLittleSlick]

Millions...?

Hahaha!

Actually to be fair, Phil might be a whiny baby, but he is a really good player. I'm sure he has a lot of knowledge to pass along. Whether or not he does that effectively in that DVD is another story. If it's anything like his book... Fold!

So my friend ended up getting the set for $100, and the guy threw in a pack of Copaq cards! How cool is that?
