I'd suggest the appeal of the OCC chips is the edge spots and colour combos of the chips themselves. The inlay design is every bit as bad as these, but at least the inlays are shaped.

Also: simple/clean 414 edge spots and traditional colors for the $1's, $5's and $25's.
These are definitely not my favorite chips, but there is something to be said about having a cohesive set with the same inlay that does not require relabeling.

Then you should look a bit harder! Plenty of people complain about the phone number inlay on OCC as well.
Lots of great chips with questionable inlays. E.g., I know that’s supposed to be a pot of gold on the Grand Gulfports. It looks more like something else.
Thank you, @MrCatPants for the spell check.

That said, i very much agree with your point still:
Phone number or not, original inlay is always better than relabeled imo. But if the relabels are much much better visually than original inlay it can be better when its all said and done.

Nope. It's actually a pot of gold!
I think @Windwalker should just give you the chips @BamaT8ter. I mean Krish “absolutely hates them” and yet they sit in that cabinet mixed in with some of the rarest and other most desirable TRKs.
Krish….
You need to fire that assistant who had the nerve to mix that garbage in amongst the rest of that beauty.
SHEESH!
Totally. I don't think people should necessarily mistake criticism of the label as criticism of the chips as a whole.
The edge spots are "basic" but as you wrote, they're cohesive, excellent condition TRKs that don't NEED to be re-labelled before being used. That doesn't pop up every day.
Are they as attractive to me, personally, as say a modern Paulson THC set? No. Are they more attractive than say casino-used RHCs? Absolutely.
Different people like different things more or less than others. That's a good thing imo. This place would be awfully boring if we all loved exactly the same things.
This should give you a much clearer idea of the work that's required:

I don’t understand the “they feel light & cheap” comment.
They average 10.5g
What am I missing?

I don't quite get it either. Can you elaborate @Windwalker ?

I don’t think these actually sold. I think the auction was cancelled early by the seller.

Says ended not cancelled? But I have no idea.
My money is on cancelled.
I sold the only TRK set I had a few years ago to a local friend. I imagine that I will have a set at some time in the future, but still haven’t found one that I absolutely love and can use for our game …
At under $3, this set was going to be an experiment. The inlay is unforgivably hideous with that phone number printed, but I figured it would be a reasonably decent relabel project, one of many on deck that may never get done… at substantially higher prices, with all the issues mentioned regarding inlay removal… pass for me … but to each their own

I don’t remember the chips being that weighty. When I unpacked them, I remember thinking they were insubstantial, not liking the inlay, and that I’d struggle to fit them into a mixed set. They then went into a closet.
Although a full set of them in all denoms is interesting. Not easy to find $500s in TRKs as well. I think it might be a decent starter set for anyone interested in TRKs.
I believe I know who spent the $45k, but will wait for them to reveal themselves after the initial PM deals are done.
How are there PM deals being done if we don't know who the buyer is?

I imagine it’s no different that a nagb. If it’s a member on here friends will get pm’s before a release to the general public or other members via pm who showed interest but with whom they maybe haven’t dealt with before?
PM sent for secret dealz with Gear.
