Just to point out, but the 2 of the most highly priced/valued live Vegas $1 chips right now are circus circus and flamingo, with binions not far behind and all are blue.
And THC...but that's not relevant here :)

Also not correct! The Jerry's Nugget $1s in near mint condition sell @$4 a chip, and good luck getting them even at that price, and definitely not blue.

I would say those are a close second or on par with CC, followed by Paris, Boulder Station, Strat... then maybe the Blue Solid Flamingo $1, but I agree with @Thomacetti all THC and not relevant here.

What is relevant is that a White work horse chip gets real dirty, real fast! If you like a white $1 knock your socks off, nothing wrong with them other that definitely more effort to clean and plan to have to clean them again every 8 - 10 games if you have OCD about dirty chips! We have multiple sets with white $1 chips, but I definitely prefer Blue if possible.
 
Any confirmation if the 36mm T10k, T40k, T200k sets T1000 is Blaze orange?

Always been on the fence with 36mm but love Blaze.

color preferences don't seem to change much by mold IME except for IHCs where orange is common and white is rare, and prices reflect their scarcity.
 
Majestic Star: First the story. We had a deal in place to purchase the primary and secondary for the MS chips. Upon closing of the Majestic Star, the gaming commission required the primary chips be stored under surveillance until the redemption period had expired. Hard Rock sold the boat and removed all surveillance and the new property did not have surveillance set up. As a result, the Gaming Commission ordered the primary to be destroyed and allowed the secondary and NCV chips to be sold. One big problem. When the MS opened, after covid shutdown, the secondary chips were put into play and the primary chips were moved to secondary.

Opinion of chips. The lower denominations are very worn, some might call them bicycle tires. They are dirty too. I instructed my workers to pack the boxes with as many chips would fit per barrel. So in some cases that would be 21 or even 22. $500 on up will all stand on edge. They went through 2 slightly different logo variations and are both mixed in, along with some anniversary and le chips. The 43mm chips have some rack check marks and are dirty, but not bad shape considering the age.
Any rough idea of the ratio of each inlay? In your pic is looks like the 5k has the alternate inlay, so I assume that is what is being referred to.

Thanks again for bringing great chips to the forum!

Sam’s Town gets no love??
 
i was thinking of getting some of the jack chips. Is it worthwhile? I know the photos show them as pretty used, and i was wondering if it would be worth it to try and get some 1, 5, and 25s to start a jack set. It would be my first "Real" Set to collect.

the jacks are in pretty good condition. if you like the way they look, go for it! what stakes do you play + how many players?

They’re a good value in that you won’t find much (possibly anything) out there in the same condition for the same low price. Whether they’re right for any particular person, is a case by case thing

I got them as my first clay set and I'm happy with them. As mentioned, you probably won't get a full set for a price like this in the classifieds.
 
@TheChipRoom , hey jim, is there a max limit on the Maj Star chips by percentage, and will that limit expire after an hour, like other sales before ?
 
I think he means can he buy 10000 chips or is there a max chip limit ie getting 10k to get max on below denoms

2000 $100
1000 $500
500 $1000
500 $5000
 
In the past there was a 2000 chip limit for the first hour. This time there is none mentioned.
 
I think the total number of chips you can buy is unlimited, BUT you must spread out the number of chips you buy throughout the different denominations.

For example, if you buy only 100 chips... then (working backwards with the highest face value chips first)
  • 5 chips can be the 5k
  • 5 chips can be 1K
  • 10 chips can be the 500s
  • 20 chips can be the 100s
  • 30 chips can be the 25s
  • 30 more chips can be the 5s
And that would be 100 chips buying the highest denominations you can. If you wanted to buy 10,000 chips, just adjust the quantities accordingly.

And that's my interpretation of Jim's limits.... which only apply for one hour. I have no idea if I'm right or not. That's just what I interpret from the OP.
 
The majestic star primary chips and the majestic star T10000 set appear to be the same batch of chips, is this accurate? What are the pros and cons of these specific chips? What size?
 
The question about the quantity limit is very valid. For all items, it is (and has always been) specified either 'limit of x chips' or 'no limit'. In this specific case, for the first time I have seen, there is no specification. He must have forgotten to put it, whatever it is.

if you want a tournament set without buying 1200 chips total to get the 60 $1k - 5% requirement, go for that

If you squint with sunglasses they're sorta blue.
 
How would you explain the difference between Jack primary and secondary chips? Just personal preference?

if you are referring to the $500s, the primaries are slightly used and the secondaries are mint condition

Secondaries were "backup" chips that the Casino had to have on hand as required by state law. In case something happened, there was a back up set of chips available.
The backup set had to look different than the primaries. So the secondaries have different spot patterns and other color changes.
Since nothing happened that required switching out the casino's chips, the secondary set was never used.

To sum up: secondaries look different and are mint/never used chips from a casino.


You can see the difference in the OP of this thread. Look at the Jack 500 chips.
The 3-striped (bear claw) chip is the primary 500. The 4 V (gold triangle spots) is the secondary 500. There is also the primary 25 with the double stripe and the secondary 25 with the 3 half-circle spots.
