So this is a fun one.
These colors are a little bonkers, but they're old school cool - leaded, shaped, textured inlays with a rad jester/joker graphic.

- I don't have a single original frac but the originals are bangers. So far, the Foxwoods $25 is about as close as I can come with a green 414 edge. I'm putting off murdering these until it's absolutely necessary because Foxwoods is my home casino (at least while Encore Boston's poker room remains closed). It's a good substitute because the green is close to the same color as the edge spots on the original $1.
- The $1s are some of the most disgusting chips I've ever encountered and they're so disgusting that I stopped halfway through my two racks because it was so exhausting. The other half still need to be cleaned and oiled. They're bicycle tires but unfortunately all the ones in existence are in this same condition (I'm almost certain).
- I'm about 42 $5s short of two racks (I think I have another 10x lying around in my spare pile somewhere), which should be sufficient for this smaller set, though I wouldn't say no to a third rack if anyone is feeling generous. Anyway, the $5s are obviously rock stars here.
- The $20s are near-impossible to grab, though I've had some luck. Not all of these are originals - I'm using NYNY $1s to fill in gaps as they're a very close match (though not exact).
- I'm adding a $100 chip using the Scandia $1 414. I was able to find a dead mint rack of these but I won't need that many for most of my games and I prefer a bit more used to match overall condition. I may have a full rack hitting the trade threads at some point.
- I've been working on a barrel of Foxwoods THC snappers. They're great chips and I was considering using it as a $500 or a show'em chip. I kind of don't have the heart to murder them quite yet - but we'll see.
