Big Chips

My $1k Winner Club chips arrived today and even though the entire set isn't all in one country yet - all my Winner Club are so I had to get some pics done to see how they all go together.

Winner Club chips are from a Korean casino junket that went under before the chips could be used. All the other chips are all from various closed casino's.

It's an all Paulson Casino Tournament set!

So once everything is here my casino tourney set will consist of:
160 Tukwila $25
110 Tukwila $100
100 Harbor Lights $100 (haven't decided which way to go yet, will likely sell one set of 100s to buy the other - the Harbor Lights are still in the States awaiting pickup)
50 Harbor Lights $500
65 Winner Club $1k 43mm
40 Winner Club $5k 48mm
10 Winner Club $10k 48mm

It's enough for a 20 person T10000 tourney with an 8/8/2/3/1 breakdown, or a 10 person T20000 tourney with an 12/12/5/6/2 breakdown.

Anyways, enough math. On with the pics.









Here are some shots to show the size difference between std 39mm casino and the oversized Winner club, with a std dealer button thrown in for reference.





That's a std 50mm dealer button on the bottom with a 48mm $5k Winner club next, followed by a 43mm $1k Winner club, with a 39mm $100 Tukwila on top on the far left. Next a 48mm $5k with a 43mm $1k on top. Next a 43mm $1k with a std 39mm $25 on top. Finally on the far right, a 48mm $5k with a 39mm $25 on top. I like big chips.



Finally some shots of all my Winner Club chips stacked together.





It was very difficult to put this set together. It took almost 6 months of collecting bits and pieces from Ebay, m2m sales on Chiptalk and private deals. Thanks to all who helped me out. I hope you enjoyed the pics.

Wow!

That's a fabulous set. Congrats!
Are those metal flakes in the $100 chips I see?

Brass in the $25s not sure the metal in the $100s. Essentially the weight of the clay varies based on colour, since most pigments are metal based and have different densities so they add metal flakes to some colours to bring the weight up.
