Canceled Tiffany & Co. Poker Set for sale or trade (1 Viewer)

EDIT: Well, rather than selling this set, I ended up buying a few more Tiffany pieces to go with it. I suppose it's just not time to part with it yet. I appreciate everyone that came in to take a look. Definitely a cherished piece in my collection!

Do you already own literally everything? Maybe you're looking for something to do with that nice cash game set that is just lying around? Man, do I have a solution for you! Here is a link to Tiffany's listing for this poker set in their Everyday Objects collection. Retailing for $2,750 dollars before tax, I am ready to make someone a fantastic deal! I purchased this set from a Tiffany employee that won it from a company raffle and doesn't play cards. Since I collect both Tiffany stuff and chips, it was pretty much a no-brainer for me, and it has been living behind glass ever since in one of my display cases. This is more a piece of artwork than a functional poker set, and as such it will not be broken up or separated in any way.

The set itself consists of the following:

Lockable leather case in Tiffany Blue. The silver lock accent even still has its plastic film for protection.

Set of silver keys with Tiffany logo on a matching leather loop

A sterling silver dealer button

Two unopened decks of Tiffany playing cards foiled with silver

100 porcelain chips in Gray, White, black, and Tiffany blue. Each chip is inlaid with a silver ring and the Tiffany logo

Pros of the set:

• Absolutely beautiful to look at
• Fantastic statement piece for a chip collection
• Starts a lot of conversation
• Comes with a glass case
• Holy cow is the dealer button nice
• The chips look and feel super unique
• This set will increase in value over time
• It triggers the "yoU HaVe MoRE MoNey thAN SeNSe" crowd hard

Cons of the set:

• Looking at this set is all your should do with it (obviously not functional for play... whatsoever)
• Dealer button and silver elements tarnish (but cleans up perfectly with jewelry cleaner I will provide)
• Telling lots of people no when they ask to shuffle the chips
• Seriously, you don't want to play poker with this set
• Gets mixed reviews from the luxury timepiece community, apparently

I am asking for $1,750 USD, fully $1,000 off the retail price. Please also feel free to reach out with trade offers! I love looking at this set, but it might be nice to actually have a set I could play poker with!

I would assume that Tiffany’s is not targeting the poker player directly, but the wife, friend, etc., of a poker player. To the non poker player, this seems just like the right gift to impress their poker playing friend. Perhaps some of us have ended up with a non-functional set of chips from a non-poker playing friend.

Sorta. I received a set of gold-plated playing cards in a nice box from a good friend. Unique, totally non-functional, and imo, a complete waste of money.

I’m sure that’s what many around us think about the chips we so deeply cherish. My 20 year old dice chips look mintier than the shuffle stack I keep by my computer.

And in some parallel universe where plastic is far less abundant there’s a pcf forum where we all covet the hand-feel of ABS chips.
