School me on THC chips for a set (1 Viewer)

Wow there’s so much amazing information in this thread that my head is spinning. The one thing I’ve come to grasp is that this is going to be expensive…

Money can't always buy you happiness but it can buy you leaded THC's which is pretty much the same thing.

This is what I keep telling myself anyways.

Alright....so by spending a bit of time and the search function I compiled a quick list of what seems to be confirmed THC leaded Paulson's. Being the absolute newb that I am I assume if for example a leaded $1 chip in a set means that all the other denominations would be as well. Please feel free to correct anything on this list that is incorrect or add anything that should be added.

Alright guys.....this thread has helped to get the ball rolling on my mixed leaded THC Set. I am wondering if you guys want to help me out with the lineup. Below is what I have so far. I have a really nice rack of Silver Stars in excellent condition, 2 racks of excellent condition Flamingo's (I know they are not leaded. I will most likely switch these out eventually), and on the way are 2 racks of Casablanca $5's which should be in really good condition.

Now the hunt begins:


I like the Aztar $25 but it is also common in mixed sets and it would be cool to find a different $25. I love the Claim Stake $25 but assume they are most likely going to be unobtanium? Any suggestions in this area would be helpful. It would nice to find a cool $25 but I also do not have the patience to wait a year.

I really like all these $100's but do not know really much about them. Again it would be nice to be able to actually find the chip.

Any comments or advice both negative and positive is greatly appreciated! If you guys have any suggestions on chips I would love to hear about it. I am looking at this set as a fun project that will most likely evolve and change over time.

You should be able to find the King 100s and MAYBE the AP 100s. The other 2 will be pretty difficult.

As for the $25, the Aztar is a great chip in person and used a lot for a reason. Claim Stake near impossible as well as those King 25s. What quantity do you need for the 25 spot?

I would really only need 1 rack of $25's and most likely only a barrel of $100's. I am keeping this set in the 600 chip range.
 
the other issue i'm finding is, if you find 100s and 500s, they'll be in excellent condition, but as you go down especially into 5s and 1s, the quality really drops off. would be pretty hard to find multiple racks of leaded inlaid 5s in good condition.

I can see that being an issue. My plan is to try and get this together and then stay on the hunt replacing or changing chips as they become available.

Thanks for the info! I really really like the AP $100 and feel like it would be a great look in the set. I do not know much about spots but for some reason I feel like the Aztar $25 spots will clash with the Casa $5 and something like the AP $100. Am I wrong on that?
 
I’ll give you an example of what you can expect. I started putting the set below together starting around December 2019/January 2020.

EAE82E8E-5093-41F8-9C76-74AD86FD8977.jpeg


Copa 5 ($.25) - $1/chip
CI CO 500 ($.50) - $2.25/chip
Sam’s Town $1 ($1) - $2.50/chip
Fantasy Paulson ($5) - $3/chip
PBCL $25 ($25) - $1.75/chip

Post Covid I think it’s safe to say I would have to pay more if I was buying those chips today
 
Trying looking in the BOH (barrel of hundos) thread to see what is available in that quantity, and then further narrow it by those that are leaded and meet your design and aesthetic requirements.

I do not know this thread! Is it in the classified's?

Edit: Found it

You might also check out what’s available at Spinettis. They’re not much good for racks these days, and their singles prices are high retail, but it might be a way to score a barrel of hundreds
 

I saw those. I would not be happy with that condition in the long run.
If you have some thousands of $$ to spend, you could wave them under people's noses here to probably find these:

These are cool! I have not run across those in my research. I have $$$$ to spend. I think it's just a matter of a new guy like myself getting the opportunities to find some of this stuff.
 
Ponderosa is definitely a goat 25 IMO. I've never seen a rack, never even seen a barrel. A great alternative is the secondary Aztar 25. It's a nice bright green chip.
