Very nice! What are you finding is the best way to clean the TRKs without damaging finish?

I use magic erasers on the edges, and usually just soak them in a warm/hot dawn bath and scrub them clean with a microfiber cloth and sore thumbs. Works really well. I'll lightly use the magic eraser on the faces if there are trouble spots, but I try not to be too abrasive on the faces. For some of the heaver used TRKs, like the Nevada Lodge/Club quarter pie $1s, I pretty much have to use the magic eraser and just scrub the shit out of them. I've also had some success with the ultrasonic for them as well, but that usually fades them and I have to apply some oil to bring them back to life.

I'll buy that Pick Hobson 50c frac from you!

Ok, ok. Here it is: vintage hotstamped TRK mixed cardroom/casino 10c/20c micro-stakes set.

Well, I'm in the hunt again for hotstamped $1s for this set. The China Clubs just won't do. In keeping with the theme of the other denominations, the $1s need to be California card room hotstamps.

I agree. I had the pleasure of playing with the marks Mapes set and you have to love the China clubs. I am sure the good k9dr would take good care of them

Those Mapes $1s look like they have their spots in different order..

 

[JFCJ]

The Mapes $1s have three variations of inserts. Red opposite Green, Red opposite Blue, and Red opposite Black.

And I found an error chip with two blue inserts.

Don't have pics on my phone, they can be seen on the chip guide.

I think you need some Fitzgerald TRKs in that sample splash!! Next time you get a shipment from Mikko, you should fix that!!
