For sale: 100 Stolen From Steve Appleton $1 chips. To my knowledge, this is the only rack in existence. This is a dibs sale open to all.
$395 for the rack, U.S. shipping included. I will ship overseas with additional shipping plus insurance costs TBD, due to iffy past experiences with foreign shipments.
Condition is excellent. I would say near mint, but they have had several owners. There are a handful of chips with edge marking (which probably could be removed). One chip has a small fleabite that I’ve noticed. The edges are strong, and these stand quite tall (i.e. little if any evidence of thinning).
The above were taken in natural light, on an overcast day. If anything they are brighter and cheerier in person.
For those with overlabeling or murder on their minds, these fantasy chips appear to have the same base and spot colors as a number of other high-demand chips. The Appletons appear to be a very close or even perfect match for my samples of Fabulous Las Vegas 1000s and the Horseshoe $10 chips,
They are also a very close match for CDM 5s and CDI $1000s, but to my eye the green spot on the Appletons is slightly lighter/more saturated. This may have to do with differences in batches, age, oiling, etc. I’m selling them because part of my set is slated to be relabeled CDMs, and the tiny difference in the green spots would tilt me (though it would not be noticeable to non-OCD regs in my game).
I’ll post some comparison pics in comments.
