Sold Killer Tropicana Hot Stamp $5s and $25s (1 Viewer)

Background on the find: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/online-find-23-6000-tropicana-chips.33259/. Special thanks to @inca911 for helping make this happen!

Prices do not include shipping or any additional fees. Also willing to trade (see my signature).

Available:
$5: 0 (was 3400)
$25: 0 (was 1680)

Price:
$5: $180/rack or $40/barrel
$25: $200/rack or $44/barrel

Condition:
The $25s are mostly perfect, with mostly perfect stamps.
The $5s are dustier/dirtier but came out of the ultrasonic looking great. There are little bits of wear on the stamps here and here but plenty of perfect stamps. Some of the edges are chipped/flea-bitten. See pictures.

I will also be running chips through my ultrasonic for an additional $2/barrel. (Trying to discourage this option as it tilts my SO but am willing to do it, it's just a hassle.)

I picked two racks of chips at random and took pictures before cleaning, after cleaning, and after oiling. Bottom line: the chips looking freaking amazing.

these are flying off the shelves.

Took just over 6 hours to sell over 5,000 chips. Nbd? Kbd!

Confirmed the $5s are all taken at this point. Still working on the final count of remaining $25s.

Man I cant wait to get mine........super excited

 

[Rhodeman77]

I don’t know if I’m happy or sad that I bought my large set of Casino Cancun chips. If I hadn’t I definitely would have bought 1200 so of these. Great chips at a great price.

The hardest part of chipping is not being able to have everything.

grats to all the people getting a splendid set of old school Vegas chips. I am sure you all will give them a good home.

Claim Stake $1s are the winners so far IMO.

@FlushBlack and I are on the other side of the world, so technically it’s the right way up

How hard are those hundos to come by?

When i was building this set around 2009-10 i was up to around 50-60 of the hundos picking them up on Ebay, 1 here 4-5 there paying anywhere between $4-$10 each for them. Stumbled across a nice gentleman who was a Dr of sorts said he had 2 racks, i bought one (i know , but i only wanted enough for a tourney set).

When this pot of gold was found by navels i decided to delve into my Paypal and Ebay history on the odd chance i can find the good Doctor with that last rack
I've since found out (correct me if I'm wrong anybody) Paypal's history only goes as far as 7 years and Ebay 3yrs.

To answer your question colter ripton i do check most days for any going on the bay ( chipping is a sickness) i havent seen any in a long while.
And no, im not parting with any in case anyone wants to know

Here’s another idea for a $1 chip...

@41Pickup has a full rack(s) of every denomination including the $1’s, $100’s and $500’s. It’s a beautiful set. Maybe he will post a nice pic here if we ask nicely.
