For Sale MAPES Hotel & Casino 510 Chip Set (2 Viewers)

[gopherblue]

The Mapes have doubled in size. 500 more $5 are inbound.

Tryin' to get that average price per chip down? Been there. 1,700 bluebirds ain't just because I like Riverside $5s.

$10.30

you could probably even drop the price for the $25s below the $1s and drag the per-chip cost of the $1s up to around $12-14, which puts this set in Dunes cash set territory.

as i said to harley in email, there are not a lot of sets that can go head-to-head with berg's Dunes cash set and this is one of them. absolutely amazing pick up and i'm so, so, so glad he's adding on and making it a truly player-friendly set.

Which is kind of crazy because 1s go for about 10 $ on eBay, it would just take you a couple of years to get that many!

I'll strongly consider flying up for it.

Nice Harley! Are you bringing this to the next DCS?

I was already planning on trying to get to DCS but having Mapes there would about seal it.

Edit: Assuming DCS is on, Courage hasn't thrown up the Bat signal yet.

Mapes were already going to be supplied by @JFCJ. And yes, DCS is still on assuming @courage isn't face down in a Las Vegas ditch.

I think there are secondary versions of the $5 and $25 on the small crown mold.

If any of the runners up in this auction are still looking for a lovely TRK set, let me know. I have a set that's even more rare than Mapes...and I'll happily charge less than $3800.

Now on to the money trees!

 

[AfterTheFact]

The problem with the money trees is the lack of one dollar chips also.

They have poker room one dollar solid Paulsons but now you're mixing molds yuck

 

[TheDeezer]

For these guys to be that forward thinking in the color scheme from those days is impressive. Simply killer chips. Why do all ones have to mostly be white ? Yellow Blue .........much better choices.....

I'm in. I may have $300 on me but I'm in.

Just when I thought I was out.....the Mapes (might) pull me back in.
