Yea, got my Fitz's too. Got everything now from Black Friday. Pron will be delayed though...just too much on the go right now, sorry. 'sides, have to clean the Fitz's now as well. Sigh.
I've done 60 of my 100 . . . only 1 chip with a nick, although there are many colour variations throughout . . . probably due to usage. Cleaning as per moose's directions, so far so good.
PCAs are, of course, MINT. Might not even oil them. Or, if I do, just the edges. Definitely going to do the Fitzies, though . . .
Okay, cleaning is done. 2 chips with slight nicks, but all will stand on edge with no issues. I might have done better on the clean-up, but took a safety first approach to avoid damage. Noticed that on several (less than 10) of the Fitzie's the hot-stamp actually looked silver, almost as if the original silver had been re-done in gold, and now it is wearing. Anybody else notice this on theirs?
Still a great looking chip, though, despite some of the colour variance/fading.
Stack the PCAs 100 high with nary a wobble, the Fitzie's will go 50-60.
When hotstamps wear off, it's a dull silver underneath. Kinda like gold electroplate.
Got my roulette wheel today. What a POS. I guess it will do. Just waiting for my sister in law to pick up my rack of Fitz's then I will have everything.
You'll have to wait until Wednesday for mine, as I have darts tonight. But don't despair, as I plan on shooting everything, not just the Black Friday stuff. Lots of chippies.
Took me long enough I know, but other than a missing 100 100's I'll pick up from Moose on Thursday, this is my total Black Friday Chip Pr0n
The entire Black Friday purchase. Small compared to Moose's haul, but a LOT more than I originally intended to buy.
The one reason I waited for Black Friday was to pick up a set strictly for Ching Hill weekly games. I went with President Primary, but had to add a 500 Desert Palm to fill it out because the 500 Presidents are tough to get. And expensive as hell (min $5 per chip).
Took awhile to clean these chips. As primaries, they were absolutely disgusting with dirt, grime, and god knows what. Some TSP and a little love from an old toothbrush brought them back to a more decent looking condition.
The dealer pucks I had made. Still have a few left.
Because I haven't got the balls to pull the trigger on the President 500's yet, I took a stack of purple spotted Desert Palm 500's to fill the spot for now. Doesn't look too bad.
The Hard Rock Hotel Guitars were the original plan to replace the 500 Presidents. Not sure what to do with these now, maybe offer up for trade or sale. Still, I really like this roulette chip and stamp, very sharp.
Won a lottery on ChipTalk for this rack of $.25 Fitz's Pinks. MIGHT have a use for them soon, otherwise, they too will be up for sale/trade.
Now this was the 8x8x8 grab box contents; 299 River Poker Tour Blanks, in three colours. They're a fraction bigger than the Desert Palms blanks, but I think I'm going to experiment with the Poker Chip Label Maker Kit my daughter got me for Christmas and turn these into a micro cash game set.
Desert Palm Blanks I'm keeping for now to build on. I think this set is going to take up more time than I had hoped originally to fill up. The plan is to get a 600 pc set of four colours and send them out for custom hot stamping.
BTW, if anyone has blanks for sale or trade, please LMK. Solids or spotted.
These DP's are already sold (I hope). I no sooner bought the chips and I got two offers from other chippers to fill their sets.
These DP's are stamped with The ChipRoom. Look very sharp, but again, these are for sale/trade.
Finally, with Moose's help, I was also able to score a rack of $.50 Aztar's to complete my Aztar cash game set! Thanks Moose!!
That's it for my Black Friday, other than the missing President's I'm picking up from Moose this week. Wife has taken my credit card and refuses to give it back until spring time.
Ain't going to tell her I don't need it for EVERY Paypal transaction >:D
Don't make a move on those quarters without letting me know. Only got 50 of the roulettes eh? Too bad. I took a pic of all my pron. Will get it up soon. Still waiting on the PCA cards and 900+ hotstamped Paulsons.
Yea, only 50 roulettes. At that price I should have bought a couple hundo more, but I was penny pinching at the time. Might work a set up with them, but if anyone wants them, I'm open to negotiations.
Moose, you got any DP Blanks you want to trade for?
Just finished creating and applying labels on the NexGen River Poker Tour chips I got in the grab box from Black Friday.
I now have a CUSTOM LABELLED MICRO CASH GAME SET! SWEET!
For my first label job, I think I did pretty well. Been playing with the label kit as well...think I might make some novelty chip labels with some of the extra chips I now have.
All my Black Friday etc. goodies are now here. Just waiting on my PCA Gemacos, which I bought just before Christmas.
Chips + Goodies: (forgot to show my 20 HR roulette sample set)
Here's a previously posted pic of the sample set:
My authentic Stardust craps layout came (pun intended) yesterday.
Oh shit, 14 feet is REALLY long.
The day I ordered my BF HRH roulette chips, this authentic HRH layout came up for bid on ebay. So sweet. It reads:
"THIS WHEEL'S ON FIRE, ROLLIN' DOWN THE ROAD"
"NOTIFY MY NEXT OF KIN, THIS WHEEL SHALL EXPLODE"
So with my casino items all arrived, we had a small family casino night to test out the setups. I still have to build an actual roulette and craps table but it was good enough for a few hours of play and officially declare the Moose PCA Casino officially open! (play is for fun only).
4000 chip starting stacks for everyone.
Craps:
My authentic table limit signs that timmay (from CT) ordered for me when they wouldn't ship to Canada. Funny thing was they didn't send at all what was in the ebay listing, which was one sign and a $15 min bet and I got these THREE, way better signs instead.
Careful: only the first two casinos are Paulsons. The last one is Bud Jones, which I personally hate. But hey, Westside Lanes - there just might be someone interested in those.
Beat you to it, moose, over in the new guys thread asking about chips . . . not ready to buy more, just yet. Ordered another rack of PCA $1.00 secondaries, so I can start building another set, using the Fitz golds and the $1.00 chips. People have already seen enough of the Fitz golds, they do not need to see mine, too.
At least, not until I grab those 80 from you and my new rack, arrives . . .
Well, there is no wobble like there was with the pinks, they came in a white box, like the PCA secondaries, and I could see no dirt on them, just a smidge of dust. All I did was wipe 'em off and oil them. Seemed to suck up the oil, too, as I used a bit more than I did on the PCAs. Any idea why this might be?
Also, pix will be forthcoming. My second rack of PCAs shipped on the 11th, so I might get lucky. If not I will post some pr0n over the weekend for you.

Moose, you got any DP Blanks you want to trade for?
The pinks would go with my cash game set. Although if I bought more chips I think Wraych would kill me......
Month????

or, would that be too many characters?
Shocked he didn't do this:
If I ever get custom labels, this is what I'm getting:
Hmmmmm...methinks this can be done.
Show you tomorrow if I get it to work
