Mapes Owners Unite (1 Viewer)

[AfterTheFact]

@ovo has the Dunes thread so I thought I would start a Mapes owners thread.

It doesn't matter how big or small your set is. Be part of the family. Let's see a pic or tell us what you have and what you dream of getting.

I own a single $5. I'm sure it's around here somewhere. Just 799 more to go!

Finally, the Mapes fracs solved!

Also, please don't just put stickers on them. I urge to do a full inlay replacement as long as they're in excellent condition or better

One day. Maybe

No doubt the best TRK eva

They are Jessie Becks so finding them in excellent condition is near impossible. They should match nicely with the ones which are more worn than not and heck they are cheap! Inlay removal and replacement on TRKs (at least these) is a major PITA. After having done just a few or so I should have a rack done by 2018.

Damn, that sucks. I thought I had seen some Jesse Beck's $5s in near mint condition before, but perhaps my memory is failing me. If they're out there, these are THE solution to the Mapes frac issue IMO. Couldn't get a more perfect color combo if you tried. Hopefully you'll be able to find some, but if not, these still look cool! Well done!

Am I the only person who actually doesn't care much for the $100? I know everyone seems to love them, but they just look out of place to me with the colors of the other denoms.

I agree. With all of those bright colors in the other denoms, the black inlay on the black chip is somewhat underwhelming.

Someone needs to jump on these...

I'd need someone to find a good photo of a mapes layout so I could recreate one.

This will have to do for now.

The $5 in the airtite was the first chip I took out of my add on from Spinettis's. I was quite surprised. I was further surprised to find that none of my others were mis-spotted.

I found one with two yellow spots out of all mine. Nice find!
