Update time! I've been getting a few lucky breaks lately despite not searching too obsessively. This will be broken down into 3 parts:
I haven't nailed down categorization yet, and I know it'll never be perfect, but that's one obstacle I need to work through to get this sorted out. Current collection on the big board, considering slotting them all into these little display racks to better bunch it up into a smaller working space.
Of course the final goal is a well organized and easily searchable / sortable website, so the physical layout doesn't particularly matter.
- Found chips, either purchased or available to purchase online (mostly china clay or plastic sold in 25x quantity)
- Chips I'd really like to find, interesting/vintage/historic
- Chips I don't have but sort of don't care about... boring plastic, weird one-off's, etc
- Railroad tracks
- Horseshoes
- BCC Medium Key (hoping my connection comes through!)
- New skinny key? Probably china clay
- Top Hat "no cane" old THC knockoff (purchased, en route)
- Outlaw
- Small Bee, probably china clay, (purchased, en route)
- Phoenix, probably china clay
- TINA jester's cap

- 32 Suits - likely cheap plastic, almost like crinkle/interlocking chips
- MD-55a, weird "16" Dots. Have never seen it
- MD-105 "Ridge" fairly plain, I think I actually have this, but can't really prove it's the same.
