Do 2004 Binion's WSOP chips exist? (1 Viewer)

[AH77]

Always wanted to collect a singles set of these. Pretty much the first chips I ever took notice to thanks to ESPN all those years ago. Still the first chips I think of whenever I think of the WSOP.

There are singles out there. Not sure of going rate.

We did a Matsui Group buy for a tribute set of these that turned out fantastic several years ago.

I definitely would’ve been in on that group buy but it was before my time here.

Somebody senior can comment better, but I’d guess these are among the most tributed chips. Plastic, ceramic, China clay - they’ve been copied many times.
But no, OP, as far as we know, they don’t exist. The only reason the older Binions chips exist in quantity is that they were literally smuggled out of the casino. I would think is these ones had been smuggled away too, we’d have seen them by now.

TBH I liked the look of those better than the real thing.

A lot of them were made over the course of two group buys. They come up for sale periodically and usually sell quickly. Plastic chips are not everyone’s cup of tea but I like them.

A wanted ad could probably shake a set loose, you never know.

Don’t threaten me with a good time…

I have some Matsui samples sets from back in the day and as far as plastics go, they're not bad. They definitely look great.

I believe I have an extra sample set from the Matsui group buy if you want to purchase them?

Hmm I may be interested. Shoot me a pm with the details.

Would love to see a GB of the Bud Jones WSOP chips done on SunFly hybrids.

Isn't this the set that Jim from TCR had a lead on but was ultimately denied by the NGC and the chips had to be destroyed?

That’s the story as I understand it.

Oh I hadn’t heard that. I’m not even a plastic guy, but that’s just tragic.

@timinater has a set of customizable artwork available for these here and he's a forum vendor:

You can likely put them on cards mold, Tina ceramics or regular ceramics from BR Pro (or others). I would probably want them edge aligned.

You could also source Bud Jones chips and do a relabel. It's a pretty easy thing to do on plastics. This is my Big Easy tournament set where the 1k are relabeled 5s and the 5k are relabeled 1s. There was a Big Easy set for sale recently. Not the exact same chips but close.

I got in on the Matsui group buy - one of my favourite sets:

And finally, there was a Horseshoe 2007 tribute set done on 43mm sunfly hybrids. Another of my favourites.

BJ WSOP chips are super slick.

Do you still have any samples of the Matsui GB mentioned here?
Thanks.
