Cancelled Celebration (one of a kind set) - not a troll thread (1 Viewer)

Plus, 'round' is a shape. Pretty easy to expand this set imo, using readily available white or blue chips for $1s and relabeled snappers for fracs.

This just in, I am a shape. Sweet!

Giraffe is less of a long shot than RVCL imho.

You have a better chance of scoring Giraffes, Silver Stars, or Lakeshores (or even a Paulson ACF tourney set), imo. Just too limited numbers of Starlite and RVCL chips out there, comparatively-speaking.... and the few set owners aren't selling/trading.

Yeah I know - just having fun. I love the RVCLs, and you never know Paul might want to slum it, Freaky Friday style.

I think there are less giraffes and ACF? I wonder who bought the starlite sets a few years ago

Edit: need to see some full 20th century pron Dave. You kept those over RVCL and Starlite that you also once owned right?

With exception of the giraffes (and no clue how many of those exist), most lived here at one point in time. @mipevi and I jointly bought ~1750 $1-$100 Starlites (including snappers and secondary $25s/$100s) on eBay, and I picked up the RVCL $25-$500 chips (14 racks) in an off-eBay deal, hand-delivered from KY (now reunited with the lower-denom cash chips, single owner). But there are around 18 playable sets of ACF clays, almost all of 'em in France.

I kept the 20th Century chips due to a personal connection.... plus it's a much larger base set (and also since expanded both downward with fracs and upwards with tourney denoms). It will be one of the very last sets out the door.

Any key can break if you use it too much.

Some say it's a fantasy set, but then why is there a picture of a $1 token on MOGH? And why are these spots so awesome and not seen on any other fantasy set?
I think signs point to a real cruise ship (but possibly failed venture) that offered $5 min table games.

My understanding is that they were produced for Celebration Cruise Lines, but never delivered -- and subsequently sold in the Paulson store (and thus considered fantasy chips by some). Similar to other chips made for casinos that either never opened or actually used the manufactured chips, I consider them to be chips made for casino use, as opposed to chips made for the home consumer market. The 'fantasy chip' term is really not very descriptive and should be rendered obsolete, imo.

To my knowledge, Paulson has never made metal gaming tokens.

There is also this, but I don't think it's the same company -- the dates of operation are far too recent to match the chips.

If cash bricks are flying around, these should be considered.

horseshoe gardenas?

 

[markleteenie]

Couple of cool offers came through. Still considering them, but keep them coming!

While I'm looking for a white whale, I might as well say I'd also be interested in:
Lakeshores
ACF (THC)
Cap City (with the orange $5er)

I am still interested in seeing what's out there, so feel free to send me a PM.
I'm canceling this Trade ad, since the Classifieds got flooded with pure crazy. SMH.

Have a great day!
