Palais des Congress, what are these worth?

[gopherblue]

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Not to revive an old thread, but I have a set of Palais des Congres Top Hat and Cane chips. I'm one of the folks who bought from Nevada Jack's at the right time--I have 516 chips broken down as follows:

$5: 104
$10: 154
$20: 154
$50: 104

I use them (carefully) for my home game, and treat the 5 as $0.50, the 10 as $1, the $20 as $2 and the $50 as $5. Works for us.

Any idea on value of this set? I don't want to sell it, but I'm curious.
Thanks!

Nope. I don't even recall seeing anything but $20 chips even offered up for sale within the last couple of years (and they weren't cheap, iirc).

Got any pictures? I'd love to see the other denoms.

What? Any pretext to drag out my chips and stack them? Challenge accepted!

Enjoy (iPhone photos, so not the best quality and the color is a bit washed out):

Wow! Beautiful chips!!

The market is too difficult to tell. If I had to venture a guess "Price is Right" style (highest without going over) I'd say $750 for the set. The $50's are pretty awesome and the $20's seem to be commanding a pretty high price.

Never seen those before. Awesome!

I'd actually like to add to my set so we can use them for larger multitables. Would love to find additional chips as well as other denominations ($1, $2.50, etc). Any idea how often these come up?
