online inventory shows he has 798 of the 25cent and 998 of the 50cent.

If you are looking for some 70's Paulson HS fracs and don't mind a little cleaning, "go get 'em"

Picked up 2 racks of each. I thank you, but my wallet doesnt. :D Will post some pics when they come in.
 
When I purchased them I do not think he had as many as the inventory states now. I am sure if they are they can easily be straighten out but I have never done that and I really did not want to mess with it. They were nice though for $1 each. I only cleaned up a couple to see and they cleaned up nicely. I look forward to seeing how they come out for you @AWenger

@Psypher1000 thanks for the heads up about the warped chips. I've had success in the past flattening warped chips using a wood clamp and ceramic blanks in an oven.

Please show me the finished product! I will probably be kicking myself in the butt. I really wanted these for my mixed set but I really did not want to mess with them.

Good Luck!
 
Hey, how do you check inventory at Spinetti's?

Edit: never mind...got it :)
 
Picked up two racks too (quarters). Thanks for heads up. Hopefully they're flat... These will go nice with the Trops.
 
Mikko should send me a commission ;)

looks like just the 50 cent left, and 2 of the quarters.

I am sure these are from the same batch as DavidO's, forgot about that post when foraging for chips this morning. If you hate them, talk with Mikko, he'll probably take them back less shipping.

I need to try the clamp method on my old HS Ziegler's, they seem a bit warped - shaky barrel stacks.

I put 1000 in "add to cart", and it adjusts to available inventory

This isn't fool-proof...most of their available inventory numbers are wildly inaccurate, since their website inventory isn't correct. So, ymmv.

I did that for the TRK Mapes Wheel chips thinking they had racks and racks but when I PM them, they said they only had a handful. :unsure:
 
I have a rack of each of these cleaned. And the $1s too. Can't find em on my phone. Will check my tablet and post before and after later. Don't think they were warped. Had success with unwarping but with other chips.
 
I would have bought a rack to go with my Sahara set but we never play .25c games anymore :(

i have sent them emails if the website doesnt show many left and they usually have more, not always, but it doesnt hurt to ask...
 
I found the cleaned

pics. These were really dry, chalky look. Absolutely had to oil them after. Pics show difference between dirty, cleaned & oiled. The 50c do not recover as well as the 25c and $1. The stamps on the 50c are very faded and get lost into its color. A few of each denom had a stain that just wouldn't come out, as you'll see when they're stacked.
 
I have found it to be accurate when I was buying "the post" chips 4 months ago, if anything, he kept adding more after i made my purchase. After 2nd package, i emailed Mikko and got all he had of what I wanted in the 3rd package to avoid a 4th package. Maybe not foolproof, so just don't try and leave them all for me and others then.
 
Heck they even have chips that are not advertised anywhere. I have seen chips on eBay many times they didn't have on the site. Also I've previously asked Mikko for a certain chip, and said "or similar". And he came back a week or two later after scouring and gave options that weren't on website.

Yes. Many of the chips he has are in a seprerate warehouse and are never listed.
 
But Burt Company continued to make chips on that mold for Paul-Son (who purchased it) before they got their own stuff working in Vegas (~1975).
