some odd denominations going on there - no $500 chip??

Wow, I gotta keep an eye on these.

You guys think they will break the $2 per chip mark?

Seems a little high, but who knows.

I do, which is why I didn't bid. I have no money and no prospects. Looks like additional chips are available at .50 each(?)!

He's got a few other auctions for some collectible singles. I believe the 50 cents per chip is for combined shipping on mulitple wins.

Wow... these sound like they could be legit. I mean, I can't imagine what would motivate someone to have a set like these made in the 90's-00's. And given that TR Kings made 3 years ago go for > $2/chip these days, I'm figuring these would go for more like $5/chip.

Does anyone care to contact Dennis (former owner/operator of TR King) to confirm their origins?

But given that Fowler cracked AA with 67o in the last hand to win the bracelet, I don't think these chips would be good for me...

But if my parents had waited 3 more months to conceive, I'd be all over these!

2 questions if Fowler had the set made for him. Why does this guy have it? And 2 is the Blue Soprano included in the set??

It is a pretty cool set though.

Well...Hals wiki entry states he has had health issues for awhile...and after almost 30 years I can see someone in their elder years not needing to hold onto this set. Hal probably sees this set the way I do about things...if you're not using them then move them to someone who will. His health is probably the reason why another person either owns them or is a proxy seller on Hals behalf.

I understand these are personal, but that can get old after 30 years. They seem more special to us viewing them for the first time. Hell even the buyer of these will likely not see as much sparkle in them after a month.

Sweet, I am the high bidder. But the reserve hasn't been met. My max bid is at $401 right now.

I love these chips, but I don't think I will be going any higher.
