WOW! Absolutely amazing good Karma came back to you for sure. If you’re ever interested in selling the Nevada mold cash chips I’m sure PCF would be in a frenzy over them

What's funny is that I was more excited about the Modern Clay chips because it is like my chipping journey has come full circle.
 
Wow! Great job! I wish I would have known about the second set of the jacks. I’d have bought those for sure! Congrats!

Didn't you join with a set of them? And Ncv proteges? The chipping circle of life.

Absolutely. They were my set for 20 years until I decided I wanted a custom set. That is how I found PCF, got introduced to CPC and sold those Sidepot chips to fund the CPC purchase. The rest of the journey is just a tale of addiction you can find at any NameYourVice Anonymous meeting.
 
Absolutely insane! I hope you both enjoy the chips, very happy they wound up in good homes.

Dude it’s a treasure trove of chips. Just gotta go all over the country searching.
 
Great scores! Congrats @Flopalopagus, @GreatWhiteDope !

Ok, that's worth a comeback on FB.

I have fallen back in love with the Modern Clay chips that were my first set. So I have decided to rebuild the set but a little differently this time. The one downside to Modern Clay chips is that the highest denomination they made was $500. In my original set, the higher denominations were filled by InPlay and Protege chips which were similar but different. But I see no use for a $2 chip and I think that pale orange would make a nice $1000 chip. And my cash games don't use a frac so I don't need the steel blue 50c chips and that color lends itself to being a nice $5000 chip. So I will be having @Gear remove the labels and relabel those two denominations so I will have a complete cash and tournament set ALL ON THE MODERN CLAY MOLD WITH CONSISTENT INLAYS, which was previously not possible. The recently purchased set is light on $100's and $500's so a HUGE shoutout to @MitchCumstein who bought those denominations from me about a year ago and agreed to sell them back to me for the same price. Tyler is a gentleman and a scholar. That fills the hole in the tournament portion and make this new set complete and playable. I am excited to see the finished product!!!

So this story has an interesting second chapter. Before this thread appeared, I was one of the people that reached out to the seller and told her I was very interested but it was a three hour drive for me and would she consider mailing them. I also told her the she was undervaluing the chips and I would happily pay her twice what she was asking. I didn't hear anything from her until Saturday afternoon when she replied that she was sorry but she had sold them that morning but thank you because after the unexpected amount of demand for the chips she sold them for $300. We exchanged pleasantries and I chalked it up as an opportunity lost.

Then last night, she sent me this picture and asked if I was interested?

As this appeared to be the cash portion of the Nevada Jacks set that @Flopalopagus purchased, needless to say I said yes and offered $300, which she accepted. She asked if I was interested in the other listing of plastic chips she had up and I declined. We got to discussing the details of shipping and payment, when she said her husband hadn't realized that he had these too. When we finalized the details, she said "But wait there’s more lol yes quite a collection of other chips as well." So I said LOL, Okay, let's see them and she sent this picture.

My jaw dropped. For those that don't know the backstory of how I came to PCF, I owned a large cash and tournament set of the Modern Clay, Protege and Inplay chips from Sidepot.com. I sold them on here to fund the purchase of a custom set from CPC shortly before the sale. So I recognized them immediately and was in love again with the chips I had played with for 20 years So needless to say I said I wanted them and we agreed to a price. Half joking, I asked, "I am almost afraid to ask but do you have any others?" And she sent me this picture...

So I asked her if her family owned Sidepot or something and said I was interested in these too. At that point, I figured the sheer size of the sale now justified the trek to Long Island. So we agreed to meet up and I made the 3 hour drive to Long Island this morning and the 4 hour drive home but arrived safe and sound with the motherlode of poker chips. So shout out to @Mushmanchuman who mentioned in his post about getting the Casino de Isthmus chips that were on FBMP that "It always pays to be personable when buying on Facebook. It’s help me knock down killer purchases quite a few times. Oh yeah and overpay so the seller is more than happy to get them on the road." This story bears that out in spades. Or in Jacks, Clays and Archetypes.

Here are the pictures after I got them home. They are pure mint. The seller said she doesn't think they were ever played but her father in law just liked collecting them. The edges are so sharp they can literally nick your fingers.
