Trade Just exploring - Foxwoods THCs for 43mm NAGBs (1 Viewer)

[upNdown]

After playing with @sheikh617 beantown relables this weekend, I’m so impressed with the feel of these chips that I want some. If there’s somebody out there who values these Foxwoods chips as much as I do, maybe we could talk.
It’s important to note that I have an open ROFR on a portion of the Foxwoods chips, so that would have to clear before any deal could proceed.
It’s also important to note that I’m not looking to sell the Foxwoods chips. I’m really not even looking to trade them, but like it says, I’d explore discussions for the right trade.
I don’t think what I’m looking for actually exists - 43mm NAGB chips in denoms of .25, $1, $5, $20/25 - I don’t need a ton of them; just enough to cover a 6-8 player game.
Ideally, the chips would already be labeled - either factory inlays or a set that’s already been relabled. But of course for the right deal, I could go get in line with gear.

Here’s the last picture taken of the Foxwoods - all leaded factory inlaid THCs. (The $25s have been starburst cancelled, with the hot stamps removed.). The set has grown a bit and obviously I can furnish actual numbers to serious inquiries.

This is one of the coolest sets I’ve seen on PCF. I’ve been wanting it since I saw your first post about it. I just don’t have any NAGB’s

This might be in my top five for most unexpected PCF posts.

Beautiful set and GL!

It is shocking. That’s how impressed I was with the feel of the all big chips - they’re pretty cool.
I seriously doubt anything will come of this, and I’m not sure I’d even want it to. But like I said, it’s worth discussing.

Could you share pictures of the edges?

Probably not up to your standards - except for the $25s, these are pretty much all eBay singles purchases, so they’re quite varied. But yeah, I’ll get some pics.

 

[sheikh617]

Best of luck man! I also thoroughly enjoyed playing with 43mm clays. Man they felt awesome

Go bigger

Don’t do it!!! These are so much better than any NAGB chips.

 

[JMC9389]

Don't do it.

 

[jpietrella]

Don't do it!

I know, I know. And I won’t. At least probably not. Like I said, what I’m looking for doesn’t actually exist, and even if it did - I’m the guy always screaming that they’re not making any more of these. So it seems pretty unlikely.

 

[Jhoov2412]

Don’t do it! This is such a cool set. Cancel this ad and keep chasing more $5’s for the rest of your life.

 

[raynmanas]

i'm also in the "don't do it" camp - i loved playing with these. but the heart wants what the heart wants.

 

[CacheCreekCollector]

Agree that some NAGB chips are extremely, aesthetically pleasing @upNdown. But man... these Foxwoods r like true irreplaceable relics though.

Yes, thank you, I agree. And man, you all are making me feel pretty stupid for even letting the thought pass through my brain.

The funny thing is, for me, I almost don’t care how they look at all. It was all about how they sound and how they feel.

 

[davislane]

Sounds like you need to get yourself a dunes baccarat set instead and play them at 1/10th or 1/100th face value.

Say whaaa, that is funny bcuz for me I was originally blown away by others posting Sunset Beach pr0n in the past. Yet when I got a chance to shuffle & play with that set I was simply not impressed with their weight n feel.

but You do you - as @raynmanas said, The heart wants what the heart wants.

Everybody has their own tastes. But I've been one of the biggest bigmouths bashing these exact chips, for years. So this isn't any sort of confirmation bias. I was expecting to politely say "cool chips" and be done with them.

I used to have a rack of baccarat $20s and if I thought I regretted selling them before, imagine how I feel now. I just never got more than a few in play in my quarters game, so I never spent hours shuffling them and tossing them into pots and raking them in, so I never REALLY realized how cool 43mm clays are.

leaded 43mm....

 

[DirtyTIVA]

leaded 43mm....

Leaded 43mm are amazing imo

 

[Bill_Man618]

Okay I’m curious @DirtyTIVA I know you primarily collect 43mm, but what do you do with them? A bunch of tourney sets? It’s cool either way even if you just keep them to look at them.

 

[DirtyTIVA]

I do mostly look at em since I don’t host very often if at all. I like the idea of playing with chips at 1/100 face value. Gives a high stakes feel you know. Those $500s play as $5s and the 1ks play as $10s to go along with my racks of rhc $100s as $1s.

 

[Goldfish]

This is what you do with them……….

the blue will be SB $1s when the @Gear labels arrive…..

 

[DirtyTIVA]

Yeah this is more or less what I’m working towards in my 1000x cash set. I like big chips. Also it conveniently justifies me hoarding blaze 1ks. Though I have sold off 3 racks since this pic to consolidate a bit.

 

[Goldfish]

I know my position is controversial, but I think 43 mm is a must for hi denominations in any set……

I played with Rob over the weekend and used the same 43mm set - my first time using 43mm. I admit that they are super awesome but it would really tilt me mixing them with 39mm.

 

[DirtyTIVA]

I’m with you on that. As pretty as ESPT1k/5k/25k, Empress Joliet 1ks, and chicken ncvs are, the 39mm part just doesn’t do it for me vs a SB $100 or $500 for example.

I know it’s not for everyone, but most casinos use 43 mm for denominations $500 and above…..nothing like wining a pot with some big boy chips in it.
