Sounds like @ReallyGoodUsername got rich! We probably don’t want to know what he charged you!!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)

Some new additions to the set... not washed yet.
Cool concept, but I might try refining it a bit. It would tilt the shit out of me mixing clay, plastic and ceramic. Mixing molds within one manufacturer would work, but I feel like the diameter differences between say Paulson, TRK and bud jones would drive me nuts. Also, this looks like a great opportunity for your players to harvest $10-20 singles by swapping in some random shitty chips, but hopefully you trust them.
PS - on that note, this is probably the least secure set I can think of, literally any green or black casino chip could be snuck in for face value…

The only "plastic" chips are the CIC chips in the set and a couple of the slug chips like the $5 above, otherwise they are all clay. I am all for different molds in the older vein. I don't have any RHC. As for people sneaking in chips, this set is for my good friends on a single table. No strangers and no one that is not trustworthy. I have other sets for 2 table games and non-regulars.
As for my group, they aren't chippers and won't care about the things you pointed out. They will love looking at them all and discussing the possible history of the chips and casinos. Rat Rod sets aren't for everyone and can be built to the liking of the builder. While I can appreciate the visual beauty of @louBdub's set, I actually like the chaos of my set and gives me a more ratrod vibe, much like my 31 Vicky...

But I like that 31 Vicky. Vroom vroom.

Mine is called a Vicky because it's a 1931 Ford Victoria. Have you ever seen a Rat Rod on a Rat Rod??

I'll make the sale thread soon, I promise. I just need to figure out shipping costs and get some bubble mailers from somewhere... lol.
I'll make sure I tag you!

Today's additions due to a couple small eBay purchases and a nice stack from @ReallyGoodUsername. Thanks Tom!
These additions have not been washed yet.
I am thinking of weeding out the Bud Jones CIC chips from the set. It's not that I don't like them or thing they are cool, but I think the final goal will be to have the set all clay. Any excuse to keep buying, right?

The first chip I noticed on page 1 was a Dunes commemorative $5. That chip is either plastic or china clay, which is also plastic. But there are definitely a lot of very cool clay chips mixed in there too.

Yeah, there are a few tribute chips currently in the set, but they are on their way out. Those Dunes are already gone. Going back and looking at the first page, I am assuming you are talking about the red $5 chip from the top view? lol
I do have a few custom CPC chips from various members sets mixed in here and there. Those may or may not stay as well. The set will be forever evolving... lol. But someday soon, all clay.

Today's additions, straight outta the bath. At least 3 of these are doubles. Need to check for condition and release the weaker from the set.

Still havent washed some of the new chips yet, but those that have been washed got oiled today during football. Got help from the wife and father-in-law. Made good time doing just shy of 1400 chips!
No doubles anywhere except in the yellow fracs.

Incredible work! I did about 60 chips today in around an hour going one by one by hand with magic eraser and watching tv. Would go a lot faster with help. Your father in law too!
These sets look so great all spread out, you can really appreciate the amazing variety.

I really don't need any more $5s, but some I just can't resist. 2 new additions to the family.

Today's additions to the set... none are washed or oiled yet. The TP chips only need to be wiped of the factory dust before oiling. They are already blinding without a drop of oil!
I have all these beauties too, but none fit in the set. Gotta figure out which ones I want to keep as card caps, and then sell the rest I suppose.... eventually. I just want to look at them and enjoy them for a while!
