I'm not going to post pictures of the faces because, as per the title, these are murdered... and I know some of you will lose your shit!

I don't regret murdering them, however, I am changing direction and now intend to put together a solid TRK tournament set (as opposed to the cash set I had planned originally).

Absolutely no idea what the "value" of these are without their inlays, but obviously @Gear can work his magic to a certain extent — although I realise they'll never feel the same.

However, they are still near mint / mint TRKs, and you probably won't care about replacement inlays when you're dragging them towards you having won a pot!

We've got:

83 x Pick Hobson Fivers (82 murdered)
10 x Money Tree Fivers (10 murdered)
1 x Pick Hobson Hundo (Murdered)
10 x Kings Crown Hundos (1 murdered)

In return, I'm looking for two separate near mint / mint racks of leaded TRK solids in any colour apart from green or white (as I have a rack of each already).

If they're milled already, great. If not, then I'd probably want the milling costs covered as part of the trade.


I'm essentially looking to trade my rack for two of yours... which I think is a fair deal, all things considered.

Any questions, my DMs are open.

Best,

Jack.

I gotta give you kudos!! I talk shit about killing me some TRKings, but you stepped up!! :tup:

So here's the question everybody wants to know, but won't ask. How hard were they to murder? Like old school Paulson leaded pain in the ass hard, or more like new NAGB paulsons?

If they are the same as the king crown $5s they suck
Paper stickers
Same as those black $100s
Paper stickers
SLOW for the ones I’ve ever done

As @HaRDHouSeiNC said, anything with a paper inlay (which seems to be newer TRKs i.e. fantasy lines) is too much of a pain to warrant the effort, IMO. We are talking about 20 to 30 minutes a chip, if you're lucky.

The best solution with these would be to simply take off the outer layer of the inlay, then just get a 1" mill over the paper area to take it clean off. The Money Trees were a little bit easier, but still a pain in the arse.

The Pick Hobsons, on the other hand, were an absolute breeze — new THC kind of a breeze. Once I was into the groove, was about a 1 to 2-minute job per chip.
 
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS..............
Plenty to go around, and anyone on PCF could have gotten their hands on the Pick Hobsons had they just gone through old classifieds and sent a few DMs.

I think what people have got to understand is that, for us Brits, the history and nostalgia behind these American casinos probably isn't quite as important — and we want TRKs with £ denoms!

Very true, I can understand it. I see it now. Considered not many chips were made for the UK or Europe with £ denoms! It would be pretty sick in that sense to create a custom set with the nice colors that the Nevada chips have had.

That's the plan, buddy! Well, unless somebody actually wants to trade them for solids...

The only UK-based joints I can think that had TRKs in some way or another are the original Playboy Club, and then there was another in Scotland but the name escapes me.
