TRK Single Collector Club (1 Viewer)

I find these somehow totally gorgeous. Where can I find some?

Thanks! They are actually quite hard to find. There is an over stamped .25 chip from The Mint currently on eBay. Would make a cool card protecter. I got all mine dirt cheap, so $10 is a bit to rich for my blood.

Where are you guys picking these up - mostly eBay?

Thanks! Yes, all four of the chips are mint/near mint. The China Club 10c is hard to find in anything but heavily Casino used and rounded condition, typically with worn away hotstamps--so the fact that this one has sharp edges and a pristine stamp makes me a happy gopher.

The Flamingo is indeed a Cali 10c chip. I have most of the other chips from that cardroom, so I think this completes the set. I may have a few extra of the 25c/50c Flamingos, which I was going to put up for sale here.

I have made a critical error looking through all the posts in this thread. Chips inbound!

I mostly blame @Jackstraw for my current singles obsession.

I'm not much of a singles guy but that El Rancho $25 is fantastic.

Agreed, the el rancho looks epic. Crazy how that thing stays together.

I was thinking the same thing. A rack of those would be very sexy

+1. It is one of my favorites in my collection, too. And it's two-sided:

That is a great chip but don't most chips have two sides?
