Can't believe my luck (updated with pics)

I contacted a company here in Sweden that runs "resturant casinos" here and there, asking if they had any old or obsolete chips I could buy.

They replied that they'd gone out of that business, concentrating on internet casinos... and that they'd send me what they had left. Free of charge!
They said they don't have much left, and didn't know exactly what kinds of chips they had, other than a few Bud Jones.

I'm happy right now.

Re: Can't believe my luck











Here are some pics.

I got 50+ chips and 10 plaques. To be honest, I'm not really impressed with the quality. Quite a few chips were plastic, and I can't really see any Bud Jones's. Although, I've never seen one either.

And hey, they were free.

Re: Can't believe my luck

Very nice little collection of chips you have there and the price can't be beat. Congratulations on your find. I am not an expert, but none of the chips appear to be Bud Jones to me. Still very nice though, so good on ya'.
