PLEASE READ REGARDING CONDITION AND BUSINESS BLAH BLAH BLAH:
Casino chips and Vegas Vintage collectibles are my passion.
While I enjoy selling these collectibles, I also love to pass on the enjoyment
and passion for this amazing hobby to young and old alike. My home is Las Vegas
and I enjoy learning the colorful history of this unique place!
Please look closely at the photographs. Unless you see the
words "stock photo," then the picture is of the item you will
receive. When I am selling multiples of an item, it will be a photo of one of
the items, and not necessarily the item you will receive, but will be a photo
of a chip in the inventory. I guarantee you that you will receive a chip
of the same or even better quality.
MY SHIPPING POLICY IS VERY SIMPLE: This
item will be shipped by the most economical method available for this particular
item in order to reduce your shipping costs. My policy is to ship your item the
next business day at the latest. Saturday & Sunday
and holidays are NOT BUSINESS DAYS. Just ask for an
invoice when you check out, rather than paying up front and I'll discount the
shipping proportionally.
I am a member of the Casino Collectibles Association (#R-9282) and am held to a high standard as a member.
None of my chips have been professionally graded (except by me) but I am
careful to take lots of pictures so you know exactly what you are getting. I
use The Chip Rack condition rating system, and I price in accordance with the
Chip Rack Price Guide, 22nd edition criteria, and also current market conditions,
including recent sales on Ebay and other casino chip sites. I try very hard to
remain competitive with my prices. All my individual chips come in a protective
coin case so there will be no damage.
I have attempted to give accurate information
regarding condition and to disclose any defects, stains, etc. I take
plenty of pictures to give you an accurate idea of condition. Please look at
the pictures! I typically take side 1, side 2, and the edge. My own
personal condition rating is what you see, and it?s based upon the Casino
Collectibles Association rating system (New, Like New, Slightly Used, Average,
Well-Used and Poor). See below for the CCA condition guidelines. Keep in mind
that the condition is in the eyes of the collector, so look closely at the
photographs. If you are unhappy with a chip, I will refund your purchase
price upon return.
If for any reason you are not happy with any item(s) you
receive please contact me via EBAY messages. I will do my best to fix any
problem, will refund your purchase price upon return of the item.

Casino Collectibles
Association Condition Guidelines::
NEW: Never used in games; square and
round edge chips will be as from the manufacturer with absolutely no wear, no
dings or nicks; no scratches on surface of chip or inlay.
This is MY condition rating not CCA: ?LIKE
NEW?. I never list a chip as uncirculated or new, even if it appears so,
unless I?ve gotten it shrink wrapped and in the box from the chip maker. I just
don?t think it?s possible to say with certainty that it?s new or uncirculated,
even if it appears to have never been laid on a table.
SLIGHTLY USED: Only slight signs of
use, edge still crisp but ever so slightly dulled with very little wear, cross
hatching may show slight wear near edge; few or no edge nicks; still retains
luster in mold design; bold hot stamp; inlays excellent.
AVERAGE: Typical chip found in play after
months/years of use; slight rounded edges; will have minor defects such as
small nicks on edges; inlays are beginning to show ever wear and about half of
the cross hatching has worn from the body surface, hot stamps have dulled,
beginning to show even wear and may be missing a small amount of foil.
WELL-USED: Moderate and uniform
wear of edge, surface and hot stamp, noticeable edge nicks and/or surface
scratches; no lust in mold design; cross hatching is nearly worn off; hot stamp
is still readable but much of the foil is missing.
POOR: Edges that were formerly sharp and
square are now well worn like bicycle tires; original hot stamp foil is mostly
missing with only the recesses visible; moderate to large chips or nicks;
surface cross hatching barely visible if at all, severe scratches to inlay or
chip surface; severe color fading; partial wear up to half of CHIPCO design
from the edge to the center of the chip.
