What kind of set/games could you put together from these chips

I am cleaning out my bedroom in the basement where all of my chips are currently stored and I came across a bunch of chips I haven't touched in years (minimum of 3 since that's how long it's been since we moved into this house).

I found some chips that I originally bought to offer as full sample sets, but never did. In going through them I realized I sold off one entire denom so now I can't sell full sample sets and want to figure out what type of set/games I can use them for.

I have exactly 20 of each of the following denoms:
Bounty chip
NDM
$.10
$.50
$2
$20
$25
$100
$500
$1000
$5000
I also have 10 plaques each of $10k & $25k

As you can see I sold off the 20 $1 chips that were originally in the set.

So my chip break down gurus what type of sets & games would you use the above chips for?

About the best you can do is a heads-up cash set and a heads-up tourney set.

Re: What kind of set/games could you put together from these chips

This is what I would do

Rotate the $20s or $25 and the $100s with your normal cash chips

Do the same with the $1000s and $5000s in your tourneys

Addons rebuys 2nd Chance Show em Bounties come to mind for the rest

If any of you players object too strongly to the high denimination rotation you my have chip security issues

That was my first thought too. I think you may be able to do a 4person tourney with the plaques.

Thanks for the feedback

Re: What kind of set/games could you put together from these chips

What kind of chips are they? Something that you could reasonably mix with chips from other sets?

You can probably make a couple of decent heads-up tourney sets; one somewhat-standard 10K or so stacks, and another with super-stacks by adding in the plaques. Lmk if you need/want help figuring out a blind structure.

The cash denoms - $.10, $.50, $2, $20 - are a little tricky, with no $1 or $5 chips. You have the NDM chips, but still definitely have to think out-of-the-box on that one.

They're the Condado Beach ceramic tribute chips. I am 99% sure I am going to list them for sale and wanted to figure out what they could reasonably be used before prior to listing them. If they can't be used for anything than I would contemplate just tossing them.

I guess anyone who still has a playable set of them could add to their sets, or maybe people would want a semi complete sample set. We'll see

Thanks for your help/input

the cash chips are perfect for a .10-.20 NL heads up set with $20 starting stacks.

The .10/.50/2.00 are the workhorse chips. Starting stacks of 10/10/7, with the $20s as rebuys. That allows for 20 rebuys at these stakes. Perfect for a high variance micro stakes game.
