This is pretty funny. I almost pulled the trigger just because they say 'SMD' on them! If you don't know what that stands for, Google is your friend Nice looking set of ASM hot stamped solids though...

the initials are probably actually SDM, as M is usually the last name and in the middle

lol great lookin chips though dont look like any wear, a bit over priced , my opinion

but some of those old chips like that, once in awhile are from old cardrooms or private clubs and possibly a casino and not somebody's initials

some of the chipboard group usually know

Ya, I wouldn't pay that much for them, which is why I didn't, haha

SDM = Star Dust (Poker) Mansion?

Might be a stretch, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

They've been listed a while. I finally messaged the seller to ask for a couple more pics of the case.

As far as I know ASM never produced the L mold chips.
