Yeah true. You may have convinced me, I suppose it couldn’t hurt to have a third Cali cash set

Never hurts! I only have the one so far but looking to change that
This recent find was probably my greatest to date. (Was able to go back and find a few more racks from that source after this pic)
In that case, feel free to sell me your Irish Mike yellows

I've already got 3 now hahaha. A 4th perhaps?
My two biggest were large mint sets of old-school leaded shaped-inlay Paulsons -- Starlite Cruises (half went to @mipevi) and Royal Venture Cruise Lines (RVCL), both on eBay for decent prices. Sets are now owned by @kk405 and @softchewy, respectively.
Maybe not the biggest but your 20th Century find was pretty sweet in my book!

I think @softchewy bought a large PNY set from UK for about 50-70% of the current value by auction (seller was new) and a nice Mapes set from a French guy also for a very good price. I saw both sets, but didn’t have the funds or was about downsizing. Really regret this...
Have to give initial credit for that one to @ChipEnvy (couga on CT), who found the huge set I used to play with at the underground Sugarloaf game on a police auction site years after it was busted and closed down. He eventually sold them all to the four corners of the earth, and I've merely been slowly reassembling it.

My vote for most epic score, would be arcone's original score of all the PNY chips.

Right up there with the PNYs would have to be the Vineyard, Ritz, and Crystal Park. I don’t remember remember the exact timeline but those chips really lifted this hobby.

I still can't believe that I sold those 20th Century's. Every time I see pics I get like a sick butterflies in my stomach feeling.
That was probably my best find. I also found the Aquasino's as well as the Maximillion house $5's. I was OK with selling the Aquasino's but the Max $5 still bother me. I also found a set of TRK Lrgcrowns, a set of Fabulous Las Vegas (Paulson's) and some other small finds like that.

I believe it was around 2006, that’s when I first started collecting and there were so many nice chips to choose from.

Definitely my best find. I don't think I could beat these even if I was able to place a custom Paulson order.
Assembled from a few different sources.

No. December 2013.

Probably the best ever. You've got too many $5s, though.
Not nearly as good condition or collectible, but I think the Club Cal Neva roulettes came to about 8000 chips.
And fracs and $1s and $20s... just saying.
He knows I ONLY need two racks of $5s. I won't get greedy until I can get his good nature to hook me up with a couple of them.

Wow, this brings back memories (jjbcentral from CT here, been a while since I was on the forum)!!!
I didn't get them all but I did get to play with all of them and walk away with 800 chips (sold the primary set and now thinking about selling the secondary set plus addons which is how I found this thread). The guy that bought the unit was a real piece of work. I found them on Craigslist.
My other big find, also on Craigslist, was the Aquasinos. I think 4000+ of those went through my house. I ended up with a 1300 piece set and now only have 100.

Those Kings are outstanding!
Going to get my Caribbean Poker Classics in play this Friday in a local game. I bought the secondary ones from you back in the CT days and they are still in great shape!

@Gear If anybody has a picture please post!

These were a pretty good find
About 5000 cash chips and another 6000 thc solids
I paid the seller 700 for the chips. Plus about another 1k to have people pick them up and get them home.
Definatley my best find to date. Cant wait to get home and get them all cleaned up and post some proper pron.
They are posted in another thread, but I think they deserve to be here too.
