Up for auction: My set of 568 Maxamillion Casino Bud Jones chips
The set includes 160 of the rare $5 chips, and 31 of the nearly impossible to get $500 chips, making it playable with this denomination as well. This set is regarded as the holy grail of Bud Jones sets. It took me several years to assemble the set as it is now. The 500s are the most expensive chips I ever bought, and cost me about USD 75 each. I had to scrounge them off a seller one by one.
Now you have the - very probably once in a lifetime - chance on getting your hands on a set of Maxamillions ranging from $5 to $500 denoms. Without the year long effort to look out for single chips I had to go through.
History:
The Maxamillion Casino was a casino cruise ship sailing out from Florida - Miami Beach, if I am not mistaken. They didn't operate very long and must have closed in the early 2000s. After the Maxamillion shut down, the boat sailed as Atlantic Casino Cruises. After that the ship was called the Aquasino. You can still find pictures of it via google.
Breakdown:
$5 160
$25 202
$100 175
