Wanted TRK's, 25 Dollar Chips (1 Viewer)

[detroitdad]

Hi all. Yep, I have another want add for TRK 25 dollar chips. As much as I like the Fitzgerald 25's. They just don't pop enough with this set. What do you have?

I'm looking for 20 to 50 chips (or even a full rack if it fit within my budget). I have a $350.00 budget.

I'm not sure what I want or what I'm looking for. I really like the turquoise blue Money Tree 25's. I think even finding a barrel of those will be next to impossible.

I'm open to suggestions. I don't want non denominated chips or hot stamped 25's. I want to stay away from base colors that are green.

Thanks in advance.

Bill

I figured a few guys to tag would be @AfterTheFact @leo822 , @gopherblue @Spinettis Gaming

I have no idea what's out there, but would you be interested in TRK $20 as well? Might have some options.

Good point. I would be interested in 20's. Thanks.

Jessie Beck's might work well for you.

Thanks. Not interested in the JB's

I love that old lady! One of these days I'm gonna have a TRK set and you can bet her face will be all over it!

Brown Riversides? Maybe not cause they don't have multicolored spots so might seem out of place following the fiver? Have no idea of availability either.

Edit: Nevermind. Probably too close to orange anyway. Sorry carry on.

Lol. See the PM I just sent you. It's like we were thinking the same thing at the same time.

Good luck. The Mapes/Money Tree can be found but it takes a while, 1 chip at a time. I've found 19 and still searching for that last chip to finish the barrel. I know @TroyMan has been searching too.

 

[leo822]

Agreed...Money Tree $25 best option. I dont have any now I'm afraid.

 

[detroitdad]

In order of preference for what I would like to potentially use. This short list could, and probably will change lol.

Mapes 25
Overland 20
Turquoise Money Tree 25
Overland 20
Chocolate Riverside 25

FWIW, the Fitzgeralds are already sold to another member for my at cost price.

So um, where does the Overland 20 fit?

Modifed PM I sent to DD with suggestions/options:

Current set up (including both $25 chips):

I know you weren't thrilled by the Pick Hobson's. I think that's just because the Money Tree $5 pops so much. But maybe its more because you are looking for a tri-moon to match the set.

I know I am way more OCD that you, but I'd tend to agree you are looking for a tri-moon $20/$25 chip. If it were me, I'd also be looking for something that isn't New China or Money Tree. If you are building a mixed casino set, it should be different casinos. Otherwise, it looks like a Money Tree set with a New China one thrown in.

I'd also stick to Reno if possible, but its not mandatory seeing as the New China Club doesn't have Reno stamped on it.

With those guidelines, there are a handful of options. Unfortunately, nothing that doesn't bust your budget:

I think the Mapes $25 is exactly what you are looking for (other than fitting in to your budget):

Great contrast, trimoon (and multi color trimoon at that -- like your fiver), and a Reno chip. Perfect.

Another option which I think would contrast well with your set and yet, fits in nicely:

Another option:

I really like the Overland. Its listed as dark green, but it looks dark blue in that picture. I think it would get confusing with the New China ones, but if you could find these in quantity, I'd be looking for a new one (I know you really like the New China ones, tho).

If you are okay with options that aren't tri-moon, the Palace Club and an alternate Mapes are both options that won't get mixed up too easy. Candidly, a non-tri moon will look very similar in stacks, IMO.

If you are okay with another Money Tree chip, the Money Tree $25 works well. Its identical to the Mapes chip, which is why I think I like the Mapes option so much...if you go with this chip, my first though would be to trade in the New China ones for Money Tree ones -- but I hate the Money Tree ones and it wouldn't go with your set -- that alone makes this chip a non-option (to me):

If you are okay with getting outside of Reno (and ditching the tri-moon options), here's an option (I didn't look much outside of Reno, so there may be other options too):

Just rambling and giving you some visual options to decide on.

Other Nevada options:

South Tahoe probably has the same base as Pick Hobson's and Fitzgeralds. I also didn't include Overland $25s because they are orange and probably confused with your fivers.

Or you might be able to buy 1 or 2 CHIPS of the Nevada Club $20's off of @AfterTheFact in your budget.

Those would definitely work

Other Nevada options:

Sparks Silver Club or the Nevada Club would work.

OP is updated with my new budget.

Last I checked, Mikko had the brown/blue quarter pie Nevada Club $25's in stock in mint for only like $10-$12 per. Really not too bad price wise.

This was exactly his reply to me when I asked him too.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Bill is willing to spend that much for chips that he'd actually allow other people to touch. Very pretty and they match up nicely, but are they really part of the set if they never come out of the case?

Forget the Riverside $25s. Gopherblue has those all cornered.

Fact is you've gone through and sold all the reasonably attainable $25s already.

I guess we'll have to see if patience is s virtue. I didn't like those 25's. I couldn't keep them. I've got time before this set is back in the rotation

The Riverside $25 chocolate chips are not the chips you're looking for....

Just for a recap. I have a 342 shipped budget. I would prefer to keep the purchase at 6 to 7 bucks a chip. This will leave me a little bit leftover for a few 100's.

Thanks for looking.

It's going to be tough to do much better than the Fitz on that budget. Good luck. I hope you find just the right thing!
