Wanted High Quality Recognizable Name Home Game Set Wanted (1 Viewer)

[PokerMike]

Hi all. Obviously I am new here, Don't really know any of the lingo yet.
However, I think I have the sickness...
While searching this site for a home game set, I saw a posting for an amazing lot of Aviation Club Jetons. Well, I was too late... If anyone here has some they would like to sell, I am a buyer!

Enough dreaming. I am looking for a large cash game set. I have broke friends and wealthy friends. So, I need fractionals for my beer buddies and larger denominations for the Yamasaki guys.

Preferences: Very recognizable casino, prefer (not mandatory) 60s 70s good old days of vegas.
Must be very clean and as near uncirculated as possible.

Price isn't the main issue. Can spend a few $k...

if the person that bought all the Aviation Club Chips wants to double his money, give me a shout PLEASE

Thanks

What about your own CPC customs?

 

[PokerMike]

That would be okay for my beer buddies but the collar snappers are my clients so I should step up to the plate and get some showoff chips.

Cash game mixed Paulson THC sets are where it's at IMO.

Normally I'd recommend TRKs, but all the good TRK sets are locked up.

Here's my mixed set (not for sale, but an example of what you can put together).

Pony up for the Dunes high denom set. That will impress them.

Have you seen these?

 

[PokerMike]

Saw those on eBay. I asked my friends if any of them ever heard of that casino. Nopes all around...

Should have mentioned, I cannot buy Dunes Chips. My father was a dealer there back in the day and they canned him for cursing out a whale. So, in his memory, can't do it. Sorry

Thanks for the link. Why are they still available? Is it because they are not Vegas chips?

 

[FDLmold]

Showoff chips? You are in the right place.

lol!

One day I will share a story of my first bad experience in your industry!

Sneak peek: Spragg got me with my pants down!

Supply and demand, and pricing. There were a lot more chips from the closed Horseshoe casinos in Ohio that were sold compared to other smaller casinos (or Vegas casinos). And chips only went on sale last year.

What you want is right here - Tropicana or Dunes:

https://spinettisgaming.com/collect...uncirculated-casino-chip-set-las-vegas-nevada

Problem is, you can't get $1's or fracs for either of those sets.

But check out the site - sorted from most expensive on down.

Man, he come onto the scene 4 days too late - I've started shipments.

The short backstory is the President Casino New Yorker never opened. They had chips produced in advance of expecting to receive a gaming license, but never got it. I had never heard of it either, until I got into collecting chips.

Price isn't the main issue. Can spend a few $k...

Many of us 'harvest' live $1 chips to collect or use in games, but you could try to 'harvest' live $5 or $25 chips.

If you go with the Dunes at Spinetti's, I have 60-70 39mm 1K chips to sell you. They aren't cheap - they're increasingly rare and valued at $65 per in the chip guide, but they're sweet chips. Biggest regret selling these specifically.

Harvest?

Once again, cannot buy Dunes Chips. Sorry

 

[RagsPoker]

I have some Binions Horseshoes I might sell....there would be some mixing of molds, etc., but playable vintage chips from old Vegas.

Harvest?

Walk up to cashier's window in casino. Buy chips you want. Take them home.

Tropicana isn't bad...

Sounds good! Thanks!

If you're looking for something really rexognizable to the average Joe, you'll probably need to harvest chips from an open vegas casino. Your budget will allow for all the $1's and $5's you want. $25's too. The $100's will get expensive. Talk to @Drumhoss - I've seen him offer to harvest from Vegas casinos.

Can you give me a breakdown and some pics please

Yes tropicanas are great. there are a few of us here that have a set. You can always put out a want ad for what you are looking for. I love my set although since there are no fracs you have to get some made which is easy when you get with @Gear. Best label replacement person in the business!

Here is my trop set (looks like I need some new pics since it has grown by a couple hundred chips! another rack of ones and fives!)
