The house mold is cool!
 
Even the 100s are valued at about $2 a piece in the smallest events. Not really worth harvesting even if you were looking for an excuse to get a lifetime ban.

I believe you can get quite a bit more selling them for singles on eBay.
Like a lot more.
Like a whole lot more.
Like a shit-ton more.
 
I used to hate the "World Series of Poker" mold. I'll be honest... It's grown on me, and I kinda like it.

I agree on both levels.

With the news of it leaving the Rio, I half started to wonder what they might do as far as new chips go (as I'm sure we all are :oops:) but it occurred to me that they have a ready to go mold sitting at Paulson for the new ones.
 
since they have new chips for this years world series maybe they could kindly give us the old ones :whistle: :whistling:
 
We can only wish. The NGC says all chips have to be destroyed when removed from circulation. :cry:
Are there any plans in play for recycling old chips? Sounds like a business ready to boom.

I don’t have any plans at the exact moment for what old chips could be used for, but it’d be better than turning them into rubble.

???? Do you really know the regs? Like a lot of stuff around here, rumors and “grandpas tales” abound, some truer than others. Southpoint sold a shit ton of tournament chips directly from the poker room floor during the last chip convention - in Las Vegas
 
I don't specifically know the regs, but did go through the NGC website after I posted this and did find links to forms required as part of chip and token destruction:

https://gaming.nv.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=2286

https://gaming.nv.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=14868

Combined with the fact we know Paulson provides chip destruction services, we don't see even single cancelled chips available as souvenirs in a gift shop and Jim at the Chiproom can't get his hands on them for resale, it's safe to say that if it's not in the regs specifically, pretty much every casino in Vegas shreds their chips when removed from circulation.

My revised statement is, "The NGC probably recommends accommodates all chips be destroyed when removed from circulation."
