Cancelled Austin Poker Palace Chips (1 Viewer)

[GamblingGardener]

Hey, everyone! I recently came into something very special! It is hard to collect chips from Texas, so there was no way I could pass up buying this gorgeous set from a former associate of Austin Poker Palace...especially since they have my name on them! I am trying to get in touch with the former owner to figure out things like manufacturer, age, etc. I will update this if I can find out more. I'd like to see .50 per chip out of them. Splits welcome. You could definitely make two very playable sets out of this. If pricing is off, let me know. I don't deal much with ceramics.

I'm very curious to find out myself. I'm tracking down some sources to see what I can come up with.

That might work out great. I'm letting go of these to help fund my part of your group buy!

Craig Cyr made it. If anyone in central texas is in the market I can get you in touch.

These chips have an interesting history- Austin Poker Palace closed around 2019-2020 and the new owners rebranded to Palms. They didn’t honor APP chips and had an interesting business model- very upscale establishment that was closed to the public on weekends to rent tables to private games. They were known as the big money PLO house.

The same location went out of business and new owners again rebranded- this time Red Star. Red Star honored APP chips to be exchanged for live Red Star chips for the first 6 months or so of existence to try and pull some of those old players back in. Looks like they’re finally getting rid of those old APP chips now that they’re for sale here.

cool looking ceramics! hard to find ones with truly square edges, which it looks like these may be. GLWS!

p.s. I would buy these if (a) I didn't have so many chips already and (b) I wasn't getting married in 20 days, which may be canceled if I were to expand on (a)

Thanks so much for the extra info on the set. They’ve got a neat history!

Would love these! Just don't have an extra $1000 right now. Might be interested in 700

Let me know! I've got a couple people that have been saying they want a split, but no one has pulled the trigger just yet.

 

[GamblingGardener]

Split pending! I’ll probably keep the remainder for myself. Thanks!

Closing at 6pm EST
