That's pretty badass.

My buddy works for the new tenant of the temporary casino building. He found a casino sign downstairs and took it home. It now hangs in his basement.

Finally got one of these. Missing a few colors, but the hunt is always the fun part. Thanks @PocketAces

Rack of $2 that I mostly got because it is so pretty . I need to find an excuse to get these two in play together - the picture doesn't do justice to how well they coordinate. Tiger secondary for the win again. Thanks @embiggens

Please think of @horseshoez if you move on from the quarters. Nice score!

I think these will play together fine. What were you thinking for the $2's? Relabeled $25's?

Originally they were going to be a backstop in case I couldn't find enough $1. I'm also a bit of a completionist when it comes to collecting, which doesn't make a ton of sense with chips, but they look cool with the others.

I think I have those lavenders already relabeled as quarters. I can’t remember if I sold them already or not

The struggle…

 

[Rieguy]

Reinforcements have arrived. Set done pending a little swap to fill out those two missing barrels. Thanks all!

I guess TRKs are okay...

I called the number and won a free medical alert device! Yay me!

I'm confused...didn't you just offer Starlites somewhere else?

Grow or go. I’m in the same boat with mine!

Been there, done that

My extras (had to take to get the sexy upper denoms) of 150/150/60 (1s/5s/25s) were added to someone else’s listing/sale per their suggestion. Very happy with the above breakdown; not typically a mega-set guy barring special circumstances.

I'm telling "someone else" you referred to him as "someone else"

@TheCollector25 hooked me up to go with my set. Super appreciative of their kindness in releasing them to me!

Yellow vs canary yellow vs daisy?

 

[maxim_666666]

Got the new chips!

Thanks to @Benjaminotaur and @mikfin for these. I'm so glad they matched. The hardest part is determining their true color. However, a little soap, oil, and Vegas samples showed that they were yellow.
Although, the border between the colors is almost imperceptible in good lighting and oil. Especially if the chips were already in the game and are a little dirty on the edge.

In bright sunlight and oil...

Oof! I want more of those 500s! Nice pick ups!

 

[churlbut18]

Last couple of mail days between PCF and eBay have resulted in this. I love this inlay design, particularly how the clubs are integrated into the grapes.

(interested in a Vineyard $2 or $3 if anyone has an extra)

@41Pickup and I were able to get three racks out on our June trip, our personal best. They were all in really good shape. Here are the ones I kept,

If you don't mind me asking, when you mentioned you were able to get three racks, was this direct from the casino or how do people come across chips like this other than buying from a member.

If you don't mind me asking, when you mentioned you were able to get three racks, was this direct from the casino or how do people come across chips like this other than buying from a member.

Back at that time, the only way to get them out was playing blackjack, craps or the big wheel. They were extremely hawkish about them, and it was hard to get more than a few away from a table at a time. We got most of those playing the big wheel. Since that time, the World Series of poker decided to have their venue there. They opened up a humongous poker room and you could walk out with as many racks as you wanted. I dare say tens of thousands escaped.

Recent find: box of stone mint $25s and slightly used $5s. Thanks for the tip, @ReallyGoodUsername !
