Not my auction but I sure wish it was. It has chips from the WSOP in the 80's, 90's and 2K's.

Repeat after me: "I do not need these chips. I do not need these chips. I do not need these chips. I do not need these chips."

How high will this go? Currently at $320 with 24 bids and 5 days to go.

Good luck to everyone who bids! The only problem is, if you win, you'll spend the rest of your life in search of the absent 1000 and 5000 from the 2004 set (and perhaps 25, 100, and 500 from the 1990s).

That is not necessarily true. Since the Horseshoe buyout some previously "Rare" and obsolete chips have been making their way out to the market via eBay on a somewhat steady basis. Who knows what is in the Binion's vault just waiting for the time to be reintroduced by whoever is doing whatever in Binion's management. The casino has a colorful past and I don't put anything out of the realm of possibility.

Okay, I didn't mean literally "the rest of your life"... just that this collection is nearly complete, but it'll leave you several bills lighter and still thirsting for more!

These are sweet chips. I look forward to some serious WSOPron posted by the CTer that wins these!

Yes, those are BJs. They appear to be the V7 mold and construction.

P.S. With hidden bidders, I can't tell who's in the chase though it's up to $600 already. Which one(s) of you geeks are all over these????
