How common are these from the 90's I see them fairly often on Ebay? Are they BJ's and what kind of price range would you guess them to go from?
Thx

Buy-in chips?! I've never seen these before, are there any pics? I'd assume that they're BJ since BJ does all of the WSOP tournament chips.

Not sure how rare they are but I have definately seen more of the dark "blue" buyin chip (not the one pictured) on ebay a lot. It usually has a notch in it. Most of the buyin chips I see on ebay are bud jones.
Here are a few from Silver-State-Treasures.com:   |

I have a one of the dark blue ones, from 04. It's dark blue with black edge spots, and a silver reflective sticker on it. It's also notched out. My mother in law got it for me on one of her trips to Vegas. I can post a scan later tonight. |

You got your mother-in-law feeding your addiction? That is sweet! Sounds like she knows what she is doing, too... My secretary bought me poker chips last Christmas... a "basket" of interlocking chips cheaper than bicycle interlockings (but its the thought that counts, right?)... But my 3-year old son loves them...

Mutt | They are fairly common with a few exceptions. You'll see the 92,93,95,95HOF, 96, 97, 99, 02, 04 on ebay going for $10-30 (sometimes higher, sometimes lower). A few of the others havent made it to the market in the quantities that these have.
The 2004 were sold in the Binions gift shop right after the series for $24 - ALL notched. So you'll see quite a few notched ones around (the unnotched are much less available). They also gave quite a few away. I've got an extra one around somewhere. |
