Sold Aztar Hotstamped Grail Set. Price Drop (2 Viewers)

Fellas,

I've grudgingly acknowledged that I now need to have a 1 set in, 1 set out policy, or at the very least, a 2 sets in, 1 set out protocol. Some of you could benefit from doing the same.

I now have too many tournament sets, with too little table time and as much as it pains me, I'm gonna have to let this one go. This is gonna be my very first large set sale.

The Aztar Hotstamped Tourney set. I know of only 1, maybe 2 other sets out there and I believe this to be the largest one.

Price: $5500 5000 plus shipping

Breakdown:
T5 - 300
T25 - 300
T100 - 220
T500 - 80
T1000 - 30

Thanks

That's pretty horrible.

No one said it was great but it’s not horrible either. More importantly, it would work within the parameters of the set limitations, time and player limitations he asked for.

 

[BGinGA]

No, it's awful. Blind increase amounts are all over the place, including three 100% jumps for no good reason.

Better option (L1/L2/L3 optional):
5/5
5/10
5/15
10/20
15/30
20/40
30/60
40/80
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
200/400
300/600
400/800
600/1200
800/1600
1000/2000
1500/3000

 

[Tonysquander]

I do like those blinds better but wouldn't you be exceeding the upper limit of the time parameter (6 hours) even if you skipped the first 3 blind levels? That's assuming 20-minute blinds and a minimum of 3-10 minute breaks?

Let's do one price drop and see if they can find a nice home before they go back to the cabinets

If split
Depending on price
Depending if T5s are radiant red
I would be interested in 2 racks.

They’re definitely not radiant red. I don’t have a sample set unfortunately but I’ve got a number of radiant red chips so I can tell you they’re not that.

Good to know, thx

 

[BGinGA]

Made before Watermellon was available, iirc. Possibly just plain Red?

 

[LeGold]

Does it glow under UV? That would narrow it down...

 

[grantc54]

I'm actually not sure what it is. Likely a sample colour I don't have.

Doesn't match my red.

Yes, it glows, my watermelon doesn't, so definitely wrong there (and as per @BGinGA predates it).

oh wow, that T5 looks sick under the black light. I should host a tournament under those conditions

 

[Cord]

Out of curiosity does anyone know how much these chips weigh? My kitchen scale is busted
I know they're leaded but I think hotstamps generally weigh a bit less than inlaid chips?

generally a bit more as they have more material than their inlaid cousins

 

[Mike mac]

These are my radiants under UV. So only radiants glow?

At least Royals glow too. Not sure on which others might, can check in a few hours.

I only have 5 x T5 and 5 x T25 (so a little bit into each rack).

When was this set first introduced?

Casino Aztar opened in 1995. It's probably safe to assume these chips were ordered then.

Maybe..... but Watermelon wasn't available until much later.

I think watermelon is older than you think, it's present in this brochure:

Does it mean anything that my Watermelon doesn't glow under UV but the Aztar $5 does?

Where's the link to that thread that dates all of the colors added by Paulson? I can't find it....
