As many of you know, I collect chips from the Empress Casino (Joliet, IL). While the set remains unfinished, I finally got what I have cleaned, oiled, and ready for a few photos. I'm not particularly great with photography and am generally uncreative when it comes to such things, but here's a little something while the set builds towards completion.

Set totals as they stand now:

1 - 288 Primary/335 secondary
2.50 - 100 Primary/40 secondary
5 - 1000 Primary/1000 secondary - All $5 chips done!
25 - 1000 Primary/2000 secondary - All $25 chips done!
100 - 300 Primary/455 secondary
500 - 120 Primary/120 secondary
1000 - 100 Primary/40 secondary
1k Plaques - 20


Where I'd like to be when it's all done:

1 - 500 Primary/500 secondary
2.50 - 100 Primary/100 secondary
5 - 1000 Primary/1000 secondary
25 - 1000 Primary/2000 secondary
100 - 500 Primary/500 secondary
500 - 300 Primary/300 secondary
1000 - 100 Primary/100 secondary

Not all chips in the set are pictured, because reasons.

Wow. Heckuva set. I've always loved the Empress chips, mostly because of the great spots, shaped inlays and, most importantly, simple inlays with only the name and denomination. I have a small tourney set myself.

If you ever locate 40 spare mint $100 primaries, let me know!
 
Great job congratulations, your set is the hugest I know, keeps this thread to show to my girlfriend when I say that for many chips
 
Thank you! Others have larger sets than I do - @Bloody Marvelous with his PNY's and @slisk250 with his Terrible's come to mine - but yes, Madame Empress is pretty big.

Not big enough, though! The chips must flow; the set must grow!
 
At this point Madame Empress is as finished as I'm going to make her. This still isn't *everything*, but it was all but a couple racks of miscellaneous crap. I'll be selling a significant portion of this soon, including a 1000pc secondary set with two racks of $1's! Stay tuned :)

Here's some updated pr0n...

That is one seriously impressive sight on an orgasmic scale.

Well, if you have any Blue spot (Secondary ?) Empress snappers that you don't need and in any quantities (odd numbered or whatnot), please let me know as I'm quite keen throw some $$$ down your way.

And thanks again for sending that single Primary $1 to Kyle on that recent auction to make it an even rack. If you don't remember, I was the guy who won that bid.

Cheers
 
BARREL OF 100s WITH BLUE AND GOLD SPOTS SPOTS? I KNOW THIS IS AN OLD THREAD... BUT CANT HURT TO ASK ... ??
 
Wow, it's the most impressive collection of Empress tokens I've ever seen, congratulations.
I also collect those poker chips to play with my friends.
I have $ 5, $ 25 and $ 100 primary Empress, I just need to find $ 500 and $ 1000 chips.
If at any time you know someone who wants to sell them, let me know ,,,,, thanks
