I got several chip packages in the mail today...
One was an old chip carrier with Paranoid chips, but I wont bore you with that.
Next was my box of unknown hot stamps. I found these on FB and jumped to purchase without detailed pics. I could see minty hotstamps (and extras) being offered for a few bucks and that was enough.
Not pictured is a blackjack dealer shoe, and a half dozen cancelled Sands and Tropicana card decks but I had to throw away the cards because they were mildewed/molded. Also a nice stack of Trop Fun Money with 200 $20s and 10 $100s
I know these look dark, but these are the box of purple $500. short by 2 so only 98.
The rest of the chip are H molds, with $1, $5 and $100. The $1s and $100 are all brand new condition, but the $5s are a mix of new and lightly used. A few have very little gold in the hot stamps, but the stamps dont look worn down.
Also a few dealer chips in this box
Next box was another FB find. Mixed bag but I knew it had starbursts so I was willing to gamble a little. 46 of these green THCs and they are perfect. Some are pure starburst, some are an overstamp of $25.00 on a single side and clean starburst on the other.
Also 61 of these "lazy spade" MD-34 chips. Injection molds, and thought they might from the injection marks on side (hard to see in the sales pic)
These next 31 chips are listed as "recent" with no manufacturer information but really have a feel like compression molded chips. No injection marks visible and not slugged.
Lastly are some more old school chips. 133 "large square" MD-45 molds, hot stamped and dont look to have been used. About 1/3 of them have some warping so I guess I'll get to practice some chip flattening on these.
Unfortunately I cant find my digital scale atm, so I cant get weights on any of these. From descriptions, the THCs should all be from the 1980s. All of these were bought on speculation and a gamble. I will likely be putting them out for auction eventually. OF course, I'm still looking for some OG, Burt's "26 radial diamonds" chips and always open for trades for those!
