300 Oaks Card Club $5 :jawdrop: So they do exist in quantity, that’s a game changer.

Was working on this for a little while. Never got anywhere. Looking forward to see what you have in mind for them :tup:

First, I have to clean them. (Well, I have to get @JeepologyOffroad’s help cleaning them :) )

They’re coming sharp and square, but FILTHY.

I'm curious to know, how many of these finds have been cheap/random find pickups from the Internet where the buyer might be a classy woman needing bail money for her partner? v tracking down known collectors and making them an offer they can't refuse?
I’d estimate, for my off-forum finds:

- 30% Randoms who aren’t chippers
- 40% collectors / enthusiasts
- 30% scavenger hunts in estate sales weekly

Living the dream! Love it.
 
Those totally filthy chips may need a little more work than the ultrasonic. Sometimes dirty chips that have been stored for a very long time have reacted with the gunk on the surface, and may require some magic eraser work after the detergent bath.
