Wonder if they have any snappers

Maybe 5k 25k or Ncv equivalents. Lol.

Looks like the 20 $500’s might have been it.

$8 per chip I think

Could be worth it just for the thrill of getting to buy retail Protégés

Am I wrong or didn’t the owner of Sidepot pass away some time ago? That would mean someone else is behind the name and just chooses to copy the originals in ceramic. Is that what’s happening here?

Dunno, maybe you’re thinking of Michael Patton

Did you mean Michael Patton? He was the owner of holdem poker chips

 

[BPTDirector]

No I meant the owner of Sidepot. I dealt with Michael Patton and know his company was not Sidepot. I do know Sidepot owned the cigar and snifter mold, but cannot remember the original owner’s name. @BGinGA may remember.

Sorry, I’m getting old. They also owned the mold for the Paulson Noir line.

Thought too long over buying the new peach blanks. And they’re gone.

What original denomination used the same pattern as those blanks?

They reminded me of the Inplays $2 denoms.

That's why they seemed familiar!

All this talk about the chips has me itching. I'm going to have to get my Protege set in play this weekend.

Although I’m sure whoever bought the peach blank inlay chips will be happy, I wouldn’t worry about missing out on it. They do not appear to be blanks in the traditional sense. Usually when I hear “blank chip” I think of chips that never had an inlay and could be milled or stamped. Instead, these appear to have plain white inlays. I’ve never attempted it, but I’ve heard that BCC inlays are difficult to remove and replace with a label. I’ve seen it done on suits mold chips but I’ve never heard of it being done on the C&S mold. With the way the round inlays go right up to or extend ever so slightly beyond the recessed area I cannot imagine that inlay removal results would be good on these.

All that being said, I hope the buyer is on PCF and we get to see what they wind up used for even if it’s something as simple as a stand in for missing InPlay $2s. C&S is a great mold, and those are cool one-off chips.

Gone Gone and Gone Again. I just want to know who stays camped out each day

 

[toothpic]

I forget to check each day.

I did manage to get my set in play Saturday. I didn’t win or run well but it was a fun game.

 

[Solid Snake]

Those yellow plaques! Nice!

The $100 plaques are hidden underneath some of the $20s

Those look goooood!!!

 

[FatStack]

Anyone know what set this C&S chip originally belonged to? Maybe a one-off? Couldn't quite match it to Modern Clays or InPlays. Picked it up from Sidepot. Thanks!

 

[ukas]

Nice pickup! Congrats!
