I'm building Paulson THC/IHC/FHC and while my $25+ will all have matching inlays AND I'll have some $1s and $5s matching as well I've gone to the dark side:

Rat Rod $5s as secondary (or additional!)
Rat Rod Blue $1s as secondary $1.
Rat Rod White $1s as tertiary $1.

My view after moving out of Paris and into Venetian for another couple of nights.

The Cromwell chips, far left, were the worst. Ceramics and already returned.

Remaining is 1600 chips:
800 red chips comfortably passed singlebooyah levels.
500 blue $1 chips
300 white $1 chips

I really want to get to 20 casinos and 2000 chips and then I can split this set and sell half as turnkey rat rod set. Maybe even quarter it and keep it going...

There are some real winners.
Paris Inlay $1 - I remain unsure what is so pleasing about the blue Paris $1. It's so simple and elegant and nice.
Harrahs $1 - OK it's a hot stamp but at least it isn't a solid hotstamp $1 like the rest of the Caesars family.
Mandalay Bay $1, Caesars $5, Bellagio $1 - Just nice chips...
Park MGM - both classy chips.

Losers:
Flamingo Hotstamp $1. There was a few Inlay $1 but it was a solid chip. I'll have to work on the upgrade to the spot.
Caesars new $1 - I have 8 or 9 of these. Old but I'd really like more. If new chip was in anyway interesting sure I'll take both
 
The $1s have started to arrive.

Sad to learn how many chips went RHC hotstamp recently...

Would prefer THC Inlay, HM Inlay or RHC Inlay for the following:

  • Park MGM RHC HS was an Inlay
  • Flamingo RHC HS was such a great THC inlay with 1 3 color spot, then solid TCH and how this.
  • Planet Hollywood HM HS - was HM Inlay.
  • Caesars RHC HS was a HM Inlay (seen above). I have < a barrel.
  • New York, NY RHC HS was a THC Inlay.
  • Horseshoe RHC HS was a RHC Inlay. They're still around. I have some but they're in bad shape. Not sure what came prior.
  • Harrahs LV RHC HS. I don't know what came before but these chips are really nice!
  • I don't have Strat but I'd take Strat THC. :)
If anybody has excess or wants to help me with this rat rod madness HMU.

Looking for 50 or less of all depending on how many I have.

If you have any of the above chips in their previous iteration(s) I'm pleased to trade some mintish chips for worn examples of older chips or anything face value for face value for LIVE chips. I recognize the spotted Flamingos are out of my league but maybe the THC solid are more reasonable.

Best...

The purpose of the rat rod is for the juxtaposition of all the different designs and logos to complement each other. All of these Caesars HS are so similar.
