There's some tl;dr here, so feel free to skip it and move straight down to the pr0n.
I haven't seen any other photos of these sets out there yet, so maybe I'm the only sucker to buy one!
I started putting together sets of both primary and secondary cash chips to make a Horseshoe Cleveland tournament set, and realized how much money it'd actually cost me to make a T10k starting set that was built for more than 1 table. I don't think I've ever played/hosted a home game of more than 2 tables, but I wanted to have extras and be able to expand if needed.
My friends and I played at this casino from the day it opened. We primarily played 1/2 PLO and tournaments. Aside from occasional degenerate gambling in the pits, I very rarely had a cash chip over $100 in my possession. The cash chips are definitely great, and obviously normal/full/over sized chips with edge spot patterns, etc. but ultimately I felt like this set meant a little bit more to me given how often I played with these chips prior to moving away from the Cleveland area.
The 36mm does take a little getting used to, but they are commonly used for tournament sets in Horseshoe casinos. The chips are overall in pretty good condition with most cross-hatching still on the face of the chips, and almost all of them stand on edge. Ok this is an assumption, I didn't try to stand every chip on edge, but the edges are sharp.
Right now 66.7 racks are an okay fit in terms of thickness, but the racks obviously wobble a bit when stacked because of the diameter of the chips being smaller than intended. They are being stored flat in my cabinet for the time being, but I'm exploring a few other options which I will update once all of the samples arrive.
I'll be quiet now and present my hastily taken iPhone photos. The breakdown for the set can be found below the photos. Enjoy!
250 - T25 (+5 extras)
250 - T100 (+5 extras)
80 - T500 (+5 extras)
300 - T1000 (+10 extras)
40 - T5000 (+5 extras)
80 - 100 Buy-in
The total set is 1000 chips + 30 extras as replacements for lost/stolen/broken chips. I'm still not quite sure what I am doing with the buy-in chips either (I sent a barrel out before I decided to buy this set, but there's a good chance I do not need all 80 unless I want a T5 chip.) I may either make these 25k chips or bounty chips, and look to add a few more T500 and/or T5000 chips to round it back up to 1000 chips even as I won't need 80 bounty or 25k chips.
