NAGB Chip Quantities (1 Viewer)

[ImCrossland]

I scoured and scoured and scoured the deepest darkest threads and read through hours of negativity and STILL could not find what I was looking for.

If there is anybody who 1) knows and 2) would be willing to share the total numbers of each "NAGB" "boat" "grail" whatever you like to call it, I would love to learn more. I think it's fascinating and there should be a resource for easily looking it up.

If there's already a resource available that contains all of these numbers in one place, I apologize for not knowing about it! My hope is to update the thread with the quantities of all known NAGB sets as a fun exercise/useful resource for the future. Please let me know if I have any numbers wrong/missing and yes, I assume that some quantities have not been made public.

[Rieguy]

There were roughly 95,000 ES chips produced across three sets (39k cash, 26k tourney v1, 25k tourney v2), and roughly 205,000 AS chips produced across two sets (135k cash, 70k tourney).

Here's the only count I have bookmarked for AS/ES.

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

Here's the only count I have bookmarked for AS/ES.

Still boggles my mind how prices of $15-20 / chip come to pass when you read that hundreds of thousands of these were produced.
I know, I know most are vaulted and supply and demand yadda yadda.
Still seems steep to me.

Yeah, they’re reserved for idiots serious collectors now

 

[kirchhausen]

@Chippy McChiperson would probably know the Alt snapper and alt $25 qtys

Had it saved somewhere but I lost track of it that portion, along with the tournament quantities lol

 

[jpietrella]

Wow, this seems like the most painful, miserable and negatively-riddled mission in the history of negatively-riddled missions. You sir, are doing god's work. I wish you good fortune.

 

[kirchhausen]

It may be semantics, but none of the Chicken Coops, Harlequins, or Truman's House chips were a "group buy". These were not available to purchase by anyone else who was in the original BTP buy. These are customs sets that happen to be Paulsons, that were ordered at the same time as the BTPs.

 

[navels]

You are missing Pacific Star

Tried to knock that out in the 2nd paragraph but it was admittedly difficult to find the perfect word. I wanted to just call them “fantasy” sets but that brought in some other chips I wasn’t intending to address.

“Recent Paulson custom chips” might be best but doesn’t have a great ring to it lol

I mean custom Paulsons are what they are.

 

[CrazyEddie]

Custom Paulsons is exactly what you want to call them, and context will make it clear you're not talking about ones made in the 80s and 90s. "Modern custom Paulsons", perhaps, for clarity and brevity.

 

[CrazyEddie]

Undoubtedly your best (and probably only) shot at getting counts for Harlequins and Truman's House is to ask the owners directly. If they won't tell you then I doubt anyone else will, or can.

They either have seen or will see this thread at some point. If they feel like sharing, they’re more than welcome to send me a PM with numbers and I can update that way.

If not, maybe someday. No desire to “pressure” anybody with quantity info on the chips. Would be sweet to know and if not, that’s okay too!

Where are all of these AS cash chips hiding? Few folks have 3000 chip sets with 10 racks each of $1's and $5's for limit sets or what?

Thanks! This is super helpful. Makes me want to pursue an AS set now.

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Why ?

 

[Numerobis]

The breakdown for ESPT and ESST has been shared, but can't remember in which thread. I just recall that +/- 10 racks of T5 ESPT were produced. Will try to dig it up

Why ?

Why what? I don't understand the question.

 

[chrismurda]

Why what? I don't understand the question.

Why is there such a significant difference in total amounts between the 2 sets when the ES cash is better?

 

[buffalojim]

Possibly to drive up demand and cost of the more subjectively better looking chips.

 

[Machine]

I scoured and scoured and scoured the deepest darkest threads and read through hours of negativity and STILL could not find what I was looking for.

This is why I like you ....

 

[Shaggy]

Why is there such a significant difference in total amounts between the 2 sets when the ES cash is better?

Risk in the first order.

 

[pltrgyst]

Risk in the first order.

Exactly.

And not mentioned so far are the crown jewels of the Star Fleet: the BJ Pacific Star cash set, with less than 10K made, .25/1/5/20/100.

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Risk in the first order.

So you’re saying ES was first?

 

[cpac54]

Why is there such a significant difference in total amounts between the 2 sets when the ES cash is better?

To each their own, but, as far as full lineups go, I’d take the AS cash over the ES cash 10 times out of 10, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.

That said, the ES has some absolute banger denominations in the lineup!
