As several of you know, I got on the Rat Rod train after being inspired by @FDLmold and @louBdub with the amazing sets they began putting together. Due to that inspiration, I have gone on a quest over the past 6 months to empty my wallet and build a set of my own. I probably should have posted this thread a while ago and might have collected many of these chips quicker by doing so, but I didn't want to post pics of dirty chips and I finally got around to washing them.

With a lot help from @ReallyGoodUsername , @JWC , and several others of you who made some great singles available, my set is almost "done" (it will never be done). Still finishing a 3rd rack of whites, 3rd of blues, and some yellow fracs.

My set is put together a lot "looser" than the sets that @FDLmold and @louBdub are building which makes it no where as nice looking as Lou's and not even close to as cool as FDL's, but it serves my tastes and gives me a pure Rat Rod vibe. It's all about giving old parts a new life.

My set consists of any chip I think is cool. I have inlays, hot stamps, and CIC chips. I have many different molds, with most being older but a few newer. Most of the chips are casinos from wherever, but there are also illegal card room chips, some tributes, and even some whorehouse chips. The goal was to give my friends something cool to look at and inspect constantly while playing. Except for the .25 fracs, none of the other chips are duplicates and every chips of whatever color/denom is individual.

The yellows are all .25 chips

I couldn't decide between white/gray or blue 1s, so I made a set of each that can be swapped out from time to time.

The reds are $5
The greens are $25
And the blacks are $100

This set will be used for my friend/neighborhood game where we play .25/.50. With the amount invested in this set, I will probably only use it on nights when we have 1 table as even though they are all friends, I still want the chips in sight.

Excuse the crappy pics as they are from a cell phone on a foldout table in the garage. I'll put some splash pot pics on felt in the future. The far left rack of yellows will probably he separated due to color and size, and I am still working on finishing a 2nd rack of the yellows and probably a 3rd.

I like the white $1 chips. If I hit the Mega/Power $infinity lotto this week, I will start collecting those too.

Rat Rod for life! Nice chips, brother. A lot of work and a lot of transactions there.
 
Well, I couldn't have done it without you 2 degenerates inspiring me with your awesome sets. Like I told you before, I am not sure whether you thank you or curse you. While I have an awesome collections of singles that I can use as a set, I also spent a buttload of money creating it! It is by far my most expensive set, and probably the hardest to sell off if I ever needed money to buy a kidney. But I have no intention of ever selling it, so its all good. But damn! The rat rod set is a drain on the bank account! @ReallyGoodUsername got a decent chunk of the cash with all the transactions we did... lol

I suppose I should have posted the Rat Rod dealer buttons as well with those photos... and I guess I should make a thread soon to start selling these at some point. Anyone interested in one or the pair?

I’ll trade you a full CM Grand Casino sample set for this one…????

Edit…I’m so lazy. I still haven’t taken pics of the CMs that I spent 40 hours designing (I’m an Adobe illustrator dipshit)…this pic is stolen from LouBdub.

I am fairly certain that if you combined all the RatRod sets overall cost….

We’d be around $1,789,281,467 plus shipping.

But it’s fun, so we’ve got that goin for us :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

(Goes back under bridge for a nap)

Honestly you’ve got security kinda covered too, I mean if someone was to bring some $5 Paulsons in and slip them into your sets you’d probably be happy you were just paying $5 for them!!

We have reversed security. You’d make more money pocketing my chips than your buyin :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

This makes no sense to most……. I know. We have a disease. @FDLmold is patient zero…. It infected a few, and now @LowerBama1714 is showing symptoms.

And every time I see my name on the internet I’m more inclined to follow the herd….in an unhealthy, exponentially obsessive, divorce inducing fashion….and I like it.

Why do you need to have that one from my set when I have 3 more in my extras?!? Lol

Unfortunately though, I have these set aside for another member who is working out a trade with me for some canary yellow .25 fracs I still need.

If I had been bargin hunting like you, I would probably be around there. But I overpaid for some of my chips due to FOMO and wanting them then and now. I am afraid I am a bit north of that number. I intentionally did not keep track because I don't want to know, but if I took an educated guess, I am between 10k and 12k. Of course, I have 3 extra racks of a second $1 set that you don't have (yet :p)

Unless you're chasing yellow $5 chips, yeah it's possible to keep costs down a LITTLE bit lol.
