Are these rare or common - Mardi Gras Casino v2a Chips (1 Viewer)

[Talrem]

I just acquired a cash set of Mardi Gras Casino chips and wondered about their rarity. I know the clay chips (version 1) are pretty rare, and the v2b’s are newer/easier to find(?), but I’ve rarely seen these sold.
Are they even more rare than the other two? Are they not even sought after? Do people just drive to the woods and bury them in a deep hole out of shame and disgust for having seen them?
What‘s the story with this version?!?

Some cheap, plastic home game chips. Used to see them on eBay when searching for Mardi Gras chips

These are in no way V2a

edit: might be ceramics actually

Some sort of ceramic with unaligned edge spots?

The Mardi Gras chips we usually talk about around here are a clay series by BCC.

Honestly, I don’t think they are that rare, though not sure how many were produced. Early ceramic version, definitely not V2. @Potsie1 may be able to shed more light.

I didn’t know BCC was the original maker of this line, nor did I know that Nevada Jacks put out a separate series!
I thought they had just acquired the chip versions when BCC went under and sold the rest off.
So if these chips aren’t associated with the original maker, they must not be of any considerable value/demand.
Thanks for the info markleteenie and allforcharity!

Yeah, those have a more ”authentic“ feel to them. I think there were other similar sets out out around that time. I got some pics of the samples I got that are similar. A definite preference to the composites!

$850 for 600 used fantasy casino ceramics?

Those are ceramic chips. Pretty sure I saw them being sold on the Nevada Jacks website about 10 years ago or so. Completely different business now.

$850 for 6

That’s like $1.40 per chip... Maybe $.75-$1 would be a fair price.

$85 is closer to a fair price than $850.
