Damage from Versa 600-chip case? (2 Viewers)

[NotRealNameNoSir]

Hey party people. First time traveling with 600 chips in my Versa in normal Paulson racks, I left them in the car overnight in the case. It looks like I have some storage issues. No big damage, but some black "edgespots" where the chips met the case, and one of the screws actually stuck through the bottom of the lid and damaged a chip. Has anyone had this happen before? Bummed about it, I don't have the nicest chips but I thought this storage would be more reliable. May stick to my big ol' Apache cases.

Pictures don't really do it justice. I think the black marks are just smudged dye from the box liner but still disappointing to show up if I'm transporting chips. I would have to get there, take some time to spitshine the chips, then start running bank.

Edit: DUH! Foam in the wrong place. Damage is very minimal, just black smudges and a small nick on a chip that already has flea bites. Thanks all, user error.

So sorry to heard that but Is it because you didn’t put the foam cover (2) as seem in the picture here ?

Mine may have been delivered incomplete? It didnt come with any top foam, just whats shown and its a snug fit. Thats the bottom foam pulled up. Its thick enough that I can actually see removing some and using half for a top piece.

Edit: ooooh am I an idiot? Is that the top? Cause the bottom has the rack bottom. Ah shit.

Hot? Never leave chips in the car in the heat.

Copy that. Not too hot, but in a car so probably hot. Good call

The foam goes in the top. The bottom has no foam. You got it backwards.

I have a couple of these I am giving away because I prefer Nanuk cases. The Versas have worked fine for me. But I use Justin racks, so the tops are protected no matter what case I put them in.

Sorry about the damage. That sucks.

I just did a giveaway for EU folks only. I'm sorting the shipping now. Cost did not make sense to ship to U.S. It would be about as much as buying them new in the U.S.

No problem at all! Actual damage was very minimal, lil dent on a beatup chip. Was honestly more worried about the smudge whether that would happen every time.

This makes sense, duh! Thanks, total user error. Leaving this thread up to mark my shame.

You are in good company. Adam Savage made the exact same mistake!

I ditched the foam altogether on my Versa cases. With Justin racks, they are secure enough, and there's even enough space for a ceramic dealer button on top.
The Justin covered racks are also easier to remove, especially those 2 on the bottom.

"Real American Clay" chips will NOT withstand either freezing temperatures, or scorching temperatures above 37 Celsius (figure out what that is in Fahrenheit)

That's light fever
Anyway, local temperatures are measured in the shade.
A car's trunk may have amassed something like 65 degrees Celsius, for not being in the shade, and may have kept something like 45 degrees inside, even into the deep evening.

Alright, I am dying!

Those foam is for the top, and as other mentioned rack like the Matsui or Justin racks are more superior as they cover the whole surface.

I made the same mistake with that foam piece. I swear when I got the case from Amazon the foam was installed in the bottom so I left it there. Then one day I saw a post here with a pic of the foam in the top and wondered why I'd been putting up with wobbly racks all this time. lol
