Found Neutral-colored RHC ones (1 Viewer)

[Davism72]

EDIT 1/12:

The search for ones is over for now. I bought two racks of Horseshoe THCs.



The search is still on for quarters and $25s!

$25s
Quantity: 40
Quality: Casino used
Colors: Green base, probably. Maybe a slightly lighter green to pick out the green on the Horseshoes. Orange spots or brown spots. Native Lights and Horseshoes seem like they might work.

$0.25s
Quantity: 140
Quality: Casino used
Colors: Blue base, I guess? Probably not a really bold blue, though. Open to suggestions here.
Other specs: Hoping to find something that's already been labeled to a quarter.

=====================

Looking for some neutral-colored RHC ones. I’d like them to go well with the Garden City fives I just bought. The GCs make me think of the sagebrush native to my home, which is why I’m looking for a more toned-down color scheme. This will be a mixed set to start, but I’d eventually like to use them for a relabel project with a high desert Nevada theme.

Quantity: 2 racks at least. Maybe 3 if the chips are perfect.
Quality: Casino used. Looking to keep cost low, and the GCs are well worn.
Budget: $150
Other specs: Must be small inlay to allow for eventual label over.

Do your worst. I’ll also need a quarter eventually, so let me know if anything comes to mind in that regard. I assume I’ll have to label over from the start to get a quarter.

=====================

Here's a list of the possibilities so far, in order of preference. I'd love to pick up a barrel of each of these if anybody has them. Used quality, please.

1. PCA secondaries
2. Terribles -- not on this thread, but just found them
2. Freddie's Club
3. Diamondback's
5. Cleos

Here's a line-up idea... (Binion to be relabeled as quarter)

 

[softchewy]

is the budget $150 per rack or $75 per rack?
Some option that might work:
Diamondbacks go well with the GC $5s

 

[Davism72]

I really like those PCAs. Secondaries, right? When I’ve seen them on here they’ve been pretty expensive.

is the budget $150 per rack or $75 per rack?

$150 total for 2-3 racks. Most likely 2, given the budget.

I dig the diamondbacks. Is that spot brown or red?

My bad... I read your OP budget as $150/rack not for the total.

That's gonna be tough... a rack of casino used Cinci $1's are $90/rack https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/black-friday-sale.34934/.

You are looking at over $150 Per rack for those PCA secondary $1s
Not sure of the color of the Diamondback spot, but think it is brownish, maybe a dark maroon.
Not my pic, but this should help

You’re on fire. Those are the GCs I bought and that picture is what started this whole thing.

I've been building and tweaking this set for awhile now. Very similar colors. Good luck with the search.

Cleos are still an option. I like how they look together here. What are the others?

 

[arch3r]

Still need to relabel the aztar $5 as a frac.

 

[duffman]

How about Freddie's Club $1's?

I like that. I'd swap my Cleo's for the Freddie's. They look great together!

 

[allforcharity]

I actually like the Cleo 1 over the Freddie 1. Spots are brighter.

 

[Davism72]

Dang, those Freddie’s go so well! Great call. Wonder if anybody’s selling.

Really digging the PCAs too.

Looks like @WedgeRock got some sweet looking chips casino $1's for $65 a rack. Have you seen these?

Yeah, I’ve seen them. I think the purple sort of breaks the color scheme. The price is definitely keeping them in the running, though.

 

[AWenger]

Is it @chkmte who's selling some used Cleopatra ones in the classifieds?

He is. I like the chips, but we couldn’t quite make a deal. I may still cave.

Thanks for the heads up! I'd just seen them. I just don't like these very much, but I'm not sure why. Most of the horseshoe chips don't do it for me, actually. The price is great, though, that's for sure.

 

[Davism72]

Anybody have any stack shots of the GCs next to Terrible's ones?

 

[Davism72]

Bump.

Two requests, if anybody has time:
1. I'd like to see what the GC $5s look like next to Terrible's $1s in stacks. Anybody have a picture on hand or the chips to take a shot of?
2. Wondering about PCA secondary $1s. Do these ever sell in used condition? I've seen some of the primaries used, but not the secondaries.

Funny you ask -- I seem to recall reading that all the PCA secondaries were unused at the casino. But a few years ago, I bought 80 PCA secondary $1s (with gold and green spots) that are in good used condition with no sharp edges left. I have no idea if they were used at the casino, or maybe heavily used in a cash game after the chips were sold to the public, but I have 80 of them that are definitely used. But I haven't seen any other used PCA secondary $1s anywhere.

I'll try to remember to take some pics, but I think they're probably close to or in slightly better shape than the Garden City $5s.

I see you're looking for 200 or more. So if others have a rack or more, I'd sell my 80 chips. (Or if someone only has a 1 or a few barrels, I might be a buyer, if you're not interested in a smaller quantity than 200.)

 

[Davism72]

I bought 80 PCA secondary $1s (with gold and green spots)

Are they all gold and green, or are there two different secondaries? That seems silly. Like this?

I'd have said that was more like a charcoal or gunmetal color. Maybe it just doesn't show up right on the computer?

And I'd LOVE to see some pics if you think about it!

 

[AWenger]

I'd have said that was more like a charcoal or gunmetal color.

I wrote "gold" above, remembering one spot was a metallic color -- but after seeing your photo, it could be the Metallic Silver color from Paulson. (either way, it's not the standard "Gold" color that's not metallic). I'll take some pics after I get home.

 

[Davism72]

Regarding quality, if the PCAs can only be found new, maybe it makes sense to try to find new GCs. Anybody seen any of those around?

 

[sir bluffs alot]

How about Freddie's Club $1's?

Look great together!

 

[AWenger]

Here are a few pics of my used PCA $1s. The Terribles $1s are mint for comparison in the first photo.

The Native Lights are just some other used chips that I thought looked good next to the GC $5s.
