Just got back from some business travel only to find these babies had finally arrived

Some of the most beautiful Chipcos I’ve ever seen!

These are beautiful
Congratulations
I have been looking for a set since a while with no success
I am literally drooling over the pictures
If you need I have some extra 5000 octogonal chips and plaques
As well as some bronze silver and gold tokens

 

[dimperdoo]

i have a handful of those myself

Thanks for sharing. As ceramics go this is one of my favorite sets from top to bottom. I love how they incorporated the octagon chips and the plaques into the set.

Great set, simple and elegant designs. What is the story behind the dealer button?

Apparently they aren’t dealer buttons but were created as card protectors to match the Egyptian and Paulson Pharaoh designs.

They’re in stock at holdempokerchips for $60

 

[Whitewolf777]

There are as well less expensive card protectors
They can be purchased for $10

Where did you get this set? Do they make them still

Where did you get this set? Do they make them still

Found them on eBay. No they don't make these anymore. They were originally made by Chipco, and the designs are copyrighted so not reproducible. I no longer have them unfortunately.

 

[PokerLegend]

Oh man they look sososo cool

 

[rjdev7]

They were. Seller's remorse. I doubt I'll ever see them again.

 

[PokerLegend]

Man sorry to hear that. They just look really fun

 

[rjdev7]

This thread was before I completed the set too Sigh.... Oh well

Yes. These chips. He has had them since he bought them about 13 years ago from Michael at Holdem Pokerchips. Probably been in his closet for the last 10 years. He teeters on selling/not selling all the time.

Once upon a time, I thought about buying a set of these from Chipco but they were twice the price of Olivia's so I bought those instead. (And sold them 10+ years ago). Still my favorite Chipco home set, better than crystal oyster, classics, or cars.

Do you think he would sell them or is it more of a collectors item

These Chipco Egyptians are the best ceramics ever IMO. Got a set on eBay awhile back. Overpaid, but worth it!
