Palms (Las Vegas, NV - 2006) $1 Four Chip B&G Sample Set (Jack, Queen, King, Ace)

About the chips:
Up for auction is a nice four chip sample set of Palms $1 B&G ceramics with the heavily textured faces. The chips are in excellent condition, and have images of a Jack, a Queen, a King, and an Ace on the faces.

This is a cool little sample set to add to your display case!

Please look at all the photos carefully, and zoom in to judge condition for yourself BEFORE bidding!

How close do these feel to chipcos?

 

[ski_ex5]

To me, weight-wise, I think they’re very similar to identical, but I’ll try to remember to put them on the scale later to compare them to my minty Hard Rock (Albuquerque) chips.

Feel-of-the-chip-faces-wise, the faces of these B&G chips are heavily textured, unlike *most* ChipCo chips. However, there are some ChipCo chips, like Palace Casino (Aruba - photos from our friends at ChipGuide below) that have heavily textured faces, too. I’ll also try to remember to take some close-ups of the B&G Palms to better show this later, but if I forget, please remind me!

How close do these feel to chipcos?

OK, following are photos of:

• The B&G Palms $1 chips in this auction
• ChipCo standard texture face Hard Rock (Albuquerque) $5 chips
• ChipCo heavily textured face Palms Casino (Aruba) $20 chips

It’s difficult to capture the texture of the surface of the Hard Rock $5s because, even though they’re in new condition, the surface is fairly smooth (I think most people are familiar with the feel of a new “regular” ChipCo). Much of the “graininess” you see on the surface of the Hard Rocks is actually the graininess of the printing. On the other hand, it’s relatively easy to see the texture on the faces of the B&G Palms $1s and ChipCo Palm Casino $20s.

There are slight differences in weight, but they’re all roughly in the 10 gram/chip range.

Hope this helps. Haha… now that I look at the photos, these chips look rather good together, and would make a decent looking mixed set.

 

[Bacon Dad]

Outstanding photos! Agree on the mix set comment. They do look good together.
Appreciate the detailed follow through.

12 if it's still going

I unfortunately was not watching real time when @BarrieJ3 made his bid, so I can’t say yet.

 

[BarrieJ3]

Posts are over 5 minutes apart which kills the action.

 

[Broski]

Yall make the call... I thought I was in time but if not it's ok

 

[ski_ex5]

OK, I’ve been watching for 2 minutes real-time, now, and I’m convinced that:

1. @BarrieJ3’s $11 bid was posted before auction end, and
2. @Broski’s $12 bid was a little bit longer than 5 minutes (but less than 6 minutes) after @BarrieJ3’s bid.

Unless I’ve missed or misinterpreted something, @BarrieJ3 is the winner.

 

[Broski]

I will concede the victory only if @ski_ex5 still hunts for MS chips in his collection

 

[ski_ex5]

I will follow up with PMs when I get home a bit later this evening. Thanks, guys.
