Is there a current, live set of chips at a place you’ve played that you would buy a set of if they rotated them out and they became available on the market? Which chips would you be in a rush to purchase?

My top choice would be the Beau Rivage, simply because I’ve played so much there and have a lot of fond memories of Biloxi. A lot of the chips are bike tires, but I love the rich colors.

My second choice would be Players Casino in Ventura. I also played here a lot, and loved the atmosphere. It felt a lot like a home game because everyone knew each other. I’m also a sucker for CA chip colors.

I've played at Beau Rivage. To me the chips are "meh" mostly because I hate oversized inlays. I regret not buying a set of the Harrah's from the TCR sale though because it's here in my local area and I've played there too. I just wasn't wild about the edge spots and hot stamps. Geez, I guess I'm just too "picky". But I do realize that if you're buying actual chips that were in play, you have to take em or leave em.
As far as LIVE chips.. well that's a $$$ proposition that I can't afford. Maybe $1 chips or fracs (if available) would be completely doable but $5 and above are not for me.
 
I thought about it and YES, I'd love to have gotten a set from another nearby Casino: The Grand Casino Gulfport! Those were awesome and I wish I had gotten some. I even drove down there post Katrina to see if there were chips laying all over the place, but Police had the road blocked off. :eek:
I'd guess though that someone got some and I've even thought about getting them on Tinas, but haven't done that yet.

Also one of my favorites. Beautiful chips! Possibly my favorite $1 of all time.

Huge fan of those chips here! I loved watching Dolly's Game, which was a $1k/2k mix using those very chips and denominations. They look wonderful stacked into giant piles like that. I was so enamored with them, I had a custom label made and stuck them on some Tina Arias in 1/10 of those denominations for my own mixed games. They weren't quite as cool as I had hoped though. :)
