Harvesting Chips for Forum Members Discussion (2 Viewers)

I don't want to get peoples hopes up for singles because he isn't a chipper, but I'll try to get him on here.

But I figured if he is living on playing anyways would be +ev to inject some racks/barrels of high quality chips for those who want chips.
 
Guess I should have thought of that.. Everyone would have the $20 43mm by now then lol
43mm at Paris are long gone. I've asked around. Never hurts to ask again or befriend someone at the cage....I'm just saying manage expectations. Extremely unlikely you'll find one outside of a collector / dealer.
 
I've often wondered why these get no love: (pics stolen from ChipGuide)

They are both in play (live), Paulson RHC, white, good spots, good inlay. I realize the casino itself may be a little out of the way, but I've never even seen a rack for sale.

And, it's close to Sam's Town:

I agree. I went all over the place in there asking around and was told by several of the older dealers and bosses that they hadn't seen any in a long time.
 
I've been trying to find something like this to work into my LCO set. I think these would be great! Would you be able go get a rack of these in good condition?

Those are sweet! I had some Bennys that had the same colors and edge spots. Great chip!
If they are new it would be a great relabel candidate.

Does anyone know if these are still in circulation?
They would make a great frac.
I know spotted birds are hard to find now but wasn’t sure about these.

All spotted Flamingos are essentially gone. Four of us pulled out one rack of spotted chips back in 2016, harvesting at tables, cages, and from players throughout the casino. It was a challenging task even that long ago.

@Mr. Cheese was part of the harvest crew, and can share his thoughts:

I'm interested in some chips from the golden nugget in Vegas. Anyone available for harvesting pm me
 
Thinking about possibly looking into having some racks of $1 chips harvested to make a small limit set. Interested in chips from vegas. Does anyone know of any of the casinos on the strip with "minty" $1 chips?
 
I live in sea side resort of Blackpool in the UK. We call it “the last Vegas of the North” (laugh emoji)

Obviously it doesn’t hold a candle to Vegas, but we have a few decent casinos. They are Genting and Grosvenor chains and I think there may be one independent. I can pick some $1’s up if anyone wants some for the Blackpool novelty value. I doubt they are as good as the chips from the big American casinos, but as far as I remember they are proper clay chips. Last time I went I wasn’t clued up on chips so couldn’t really say if they are Paulson or whatever. Don’t mind having a look though.

STRAT had pretty minty $1 chips when I was there last week. Not sure about the feasibility of harvesting though (as I am inexperienced in harvesting more than 1 at a time)
