Wanted Terribles Large Set (1 Viewer)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Vegas set is a pipe dream; just not happening. Almost all of those chips met the killer jaws of death after retirement.

Bunch of mint St Jo chips are out there, but very hard to pry out of owners' hands, and pretty pricey if you can.

I don't recall any Terribles tourney chips being made available from either non-Vegas casino; just cash chips (primary and secondary sets) plus some roulette chips. @Tommy would know for sure.

Thank you sir
 
I got some terribles roulettes, but I don't remember general tourney chips being released, at least when that sale occurred.
 
It's going to be difficult to find a big set from one seller. You may get lucky but your best bet is to try to piece together a set rack-by-rack.
If you like a mixed set then that would make it easier. I you are willing to mix THC and RHC molds then that
would also make it easier.

The Terrible's are RHC (Reverse Hat&Cane). They have a larger inlay area and the direction of the cane is reversed from THC.
Sometimes casinos will mix molds like the PCA RHC $1 and THC for other denoms. Personally I hate this and wouldn't build a set
with RHC and THC molds even from the same casino.

THC has 2 versions SCV (Short Cane) and LCV (Long Cane) that casinos sometime mix too even within the same denom.
But IMO the SCV and LCV are so close to the same that it doesn't really matter much.
 
THC: Tophat and Cane mold.

All other things being equal, most chip nerds prefer THC. It is the older mold and has a better feel.

What is the going rate these days? I think the last ad I saw was .50 for $250 a rack.

Hey Mike, why don't you share with him your journey of putting a Terribles set together. How long did it take?

Me Mike? Well, I don't have all I want yet. However, it looks like things are in the works...

Still would like to build this into an enormous set.
 
No, @slisk250 = mike. He pieced together an epic Terribles set a few years ago, long after the initial ChipRoom sales.

It took about 1 year and lots of money to just buy up every Terrible chip I could find. I'm more interested in customs now so have been unloading the primaries since Spring when I get a chance. Great chips but with what I have, these would never get played.
