Crisloid Professional Clay Type Chips (2 Viewers)

[sonofneeway]

trying to determine the value of these chips. I have emailed Crisloid directly and they can't find them in any of their old catalogues and the reference number 2220 does not come up anywhere. I can find lots of plastic chips when searching on line but nothing like this. Would like to know if these are worth the $70 they are being listed for on FB Marketplace. The set includes 100 Red, 100 Blue and 200 White chips. thanks

Is this the same mold? https://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip_search.php?ccg=047219

Looks like the Fort Bliss chip is the only one on that mold.

For $70, I would certainly grab them, if for no reason other than the novelty!

 

[sonofneeway]

that is the mold but I don't think that they have anything embossed onto them (they are blanks). I am going to check them out in person. THANKS

At close to 0.60 per chip, I think there are better bangs for your buck around here. No sense in chasing unknowns.

I believe the set comes with 400 total, or $0.18 per?

Right. That's what I get for trying to deal with numbers to early in the day.

@sonofneeway

Did you ever see these in person?

The issue with this type of chip is if you plan to use them for a game, you're not going to have the right amount of denoms, and it seems like these might be harder to source, it seems like a waste to me. If you're looking to collect over a more extended period, cool, but if you want them for a game you plan to host next month, I would go with something more readily available

The issue with this type of chip is that they're priced right, in excellent condition, ~RIPE~ for a custom hot stamp, with 400 actually being the perfect number for a one-of-a-kind heads up set.

FYP.

It's identified by Eisenstadt but oddly didn't get an "MD" number, last one on the page linked below, with the comment "It's a pretty light weight chip with a bit of plastic in the clay composition. There are no ejector pin marks or anything like that."

I'm guessing it's very light indeed, but could have a nice non-slippery texture. Similar to the "Lazy Spades" mold MD-34 described as "Casino Clay-type Gaming Chips as used at world famous casinos..... available in 8 colors."

If you do end up buying them, and could spare one I'd be happy to add it to my growing "every mold" board as it's one I'm missing (and pay a fair price).

**edit**

Just found a similar set on eBay in case anyone's interested. $60 + $23 shipping. Wooden case, includes a little "Made in Providence" plaque.

Might be quite easy to get a decent sized set...

these are the actual chips available to me locally (Fairbanks, Alaska).

Someone (with more drive and energy than me) would buy both from the above links for relatively cheap.

You have 700 blank chips for less than 200 USD that just might be clay in three colors.

Hot-stamp city.

I ended up getting a rack of these for about 15 shipped.

It appears that the plastic injection nipple is on the rolling edge, and then mostly lathed off. But a ghost of it remains in so much as you can line them all up.

The edges are also overly glossy/shiny to be clay.

BUYER BEWARE:

I tried to purchase that 400 chip lot on eBay, but I got no contact or product after a month and was relieved to get a refund.

Good to hear you got refunded on the bigger lot!

If you can spare a chip from your rack I'd love one to add to the big molds board, happy to pay $10 shipped. No worries if you don't want to break up a complete rack tho

Pm me your address, I'll send you a couple.
