Nice pick up on the Antioch dime...very tough chip to find.
I think those three chips are about the toughest for me to part with, along with the Outposts (which are still available, a little surprisingly). A leaded inlaid THC dime, quarter, and fiddy from the same casino, in great shape? I'm in heaven.
 
In case anybody wondered, I'm breaking up my CA singles because this is my baby now:

As you can see, I'm still collecting PLENTY of singles. They're just more useful. And it's more active. I think I added one chip to my CA frac singles in the last year? Booooo-ring.

I’ve had and eye out for them for a while. Just gotta find a $1 and $5 for a full sample!

I love those Burro $25s! Picked a single up on the auction site a while back. The inlay cracks me up!!
 
I don't think any chip from the $8 lot is spoken for yet. So yes, all yours at this point.
Cool. If I have to guess it says little Rock casino under there. So I'll take that one and Ben will be by for the JW frac
 
The large $$ orders at the top and right side are spoken for. The rest are small and can still be poached by larger orders. But I think these piles are up to date. Once I send you a PM for payment your chips are yours, however. I will get to some of these tonight but not all.

@FDLmold - Can you please throw the Lucayan Beach snapper and Nevada Club $1 (from the google drive pics) into my pile please?
 
I went looking for more info on the Bird Suits mold. I was curious. The bible of poker chip molds had this:

which was, unfortunately, useless. The creator of that chip mold website is dead I believe, so the entry will never be updated. So I'm afraid our knowledge of the Bird Suits mold remains limited.

We have unearthed a fair amount of information (and even more speculation, most of which turned out to be wrong) about this mold - MD-38a 8 SUITS with "Thunderbird" - as well as the related but completely different MD-102 AZTEC PYRAMID mold.

You can read about it here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...manufacturers-let-me-get-this-straight.20714/

The most relevant posts are https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...s-let-me-get-this-straight.20714/#post-408777 and https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...me-get-this-straight.20714/page-2#post-412909

However, probably the most authoritative post is here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...me-get-this-straight.20714/page-2#post-753713 - in which we learn:
FWIW I just spoke to John, the former owner of KP Gaming. KP is no longer in business.
He said that TRKing made the Thunderbirds for them and a R.T. Plastics made the Aztec chips.

KP currently and has never manufactured those 2 chips never manufactured any clay chips.

So there you have it. As best we can tell, the Suits With Thunderbird chips were made by TR King and were distributed by KP Gaming, although the International Thunderbird Gaming Corporation may have been involved somehow as well.
 
Interested in the Oceanside 50c if still available? (Can see 25c is spoken for)
 
I was tired yesterday and didn’t do much with this. I will get back to people today.
 
Chips in the first pic in OP dropped 37.5% in price to $5 each. A pittance for clay chips!
