Yes, my wallet hates me.
If you still have a wallet, you're good.

4 racks red floral mold! Hmmm @Mushmanchuman we might be able to put together a playable set. Brass added to mine as well and in similar shape.

Also, thanks @Cratty for the giveaway Tangiers sample! These turned out really great! The mold is awesome and labels are clear and easy to read. They are great as is but might want to darken the blue a bit on the $25, it blends into the green in low light imo. (edit - these were print samples, so they may have made adjustments already)

Been home sick for 6 days with a respiratory infection, but found a surprise yesterday in the mailbox. @Broski made me a meetup bankroll wallet and pocket wallet as a surprise. Seriously beautiful.


@Broski Awesome work. I've been looking for a nice meetup wallet. I bought a cheap leather one that has a zipper but i'd like a nice soft leather one with a flap. I'm sure you could sell a bunch of them on this site. Meetups are the heartbeat of PCF

Reach out. He does amazing work. Nice to have a wallet that matches my boots. :)

Worlds Fastest Pizza Maker Relabel project has begun!!
It is a real shame that the Saratoga Bluffs set was busted up.. it really is a fantastic inlay.
Thank you to @Lumpy for breaking these off of the 3 racks he bought.

They were great inlays! Just waiting on labels.

Well, these showed up today. :oops:

I honestly wasn't looking for them, but a late night (even for here) eBay scan showed these pop up, and at very reasonably buy-it-now price. Maybe 30 minutes after I poached them, the postings were gone and re-posted with higher prices, so the seller (brand new) clearly realized they mis-priced them when they were posted.


There weren't a ton available, which makes me wonder if the seller worked at the Rio and helped themselves to a few here and there or maybe they work for the chip chipping outfit and these "fell out of the machine".

Still a chance to get some historic chips that I hadn't made an effort to get previously.

(Thanks to @Zmasterben 's brilliant work cataloging the WSOP chip usage history: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/wsop-chip-usage-2007-rio-primary-paulson-set.39674/ I discovered the metallic silver 1M chip was first used in the 2018 One Drop and a couple more times in some of the smaller 2019 events. )

Nice score, but now you have to grab the 25,000, 100,000 and 500,000.
 
These were a Facebook find and the seller would not ship them to me. I was stuck. I didn’t know any members from Montreal. Then I listed some racks for sale and @foreverdev bought them and wouldn’t you know it he’s from Montreal. Now I know someone from Montreal :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: I forget how many of these there were but I got the Romans and he kept the rest plus one Roman. I got one of his also. The sell remembers picking them up in a thrift store in Winnipeg back in the 70’s but nothing else. Anyone know anything about these or the stamp I’d love to hear. Thank you @foreverdev for helping a stranger on here grab some awesome old chips.

Thanks for the heads up! Snagged a T1000 and T5000 from the guy. Forever cappers for me. A couple of my favorite chips of all time.

Nice score. I saw them after the price jack up.

There is a not so open secret that if you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy, you can get samples of any WSOP Rio chip you want.

Either the seller is that guy or one of the guys who knows him and is flipping for the profit. Even at the inflated prices the high denoms on eBay feel like a steal.

Fun fact: The picture of the 5,000,000 chip in my guide Albino linked to is from the private collection of someone on these forums.

Ok, so. It took a day or so to get from the US to Stockholm. Then a few days to get from Stockholm to Oslo. Finally (did I ever mention how slow the Norwegian postal service has become?) in my hands! Also in Oslo.

Big thanks to @k9dr and @Marius L for reshipping of this sample! Also to @Josh Kifer for never stopping to nag about these, so I had to try. Approved.
