Looking for poker chips from the movie "Rounders"...

CHillRounder · #1 (**permalink**) 02-07-2008, 04:36 PM

Specifically, ones that were used in the Chesterfield club, and Teddy KGB's place. Anyone know of a place I can go to find these? I've recently lost out on chances to get a few at eBay, one of which I was outbid with only 2 seconds left on the auction!! AUUUGH!!
Any help greatly appreciated!

I have one of the green chips, I think the Chesterfied, with the certificate of authenticity bought from a member over at the chipboard. Don't even know what it's worth or what I paid for it, other than a lot.

You'll get lots of advice here at CT, so I'll get you started.

Bid higher

I have the whole set... along with the Palms commemorative chip, and a movie still autographed by a few of the actors including Martin Landau, Matt Damon, Grethcen Mol, and Ed Norton.

I planned on making a wall piece out of them, but haven't gotten around to it...

Thanks. I never thought of that.

That looks sharp!
Just out of curiosity, might you consider parting with some of the chips and/or all of the items you mentioned, or are you just rubbing it in?

Hi and welcome aboard! When you think about the Tedddy KGB's don't forget about the TR King replicas. I've seen the set of 7 (in airtites) go for the price of 1 ASM movie prop.

Enjoy your stay!

Yeah, I would consider it... But I've got a couple bucks in to them...

PM me and we'll talk...

Hiya PAZ,
Yeah, I'd thought about that, but to be honest I don't really have any interest. As a replica (and not a particularly good one at that), it's just a chip... but to have even the smallest piece of film history - and one of my personal favorites - makes getting an authentic chip well worth the search, and cost.

Next up, a chip from Ocean's 13, and one of those sweet Zippo lighters, which I just heard of going for $300.00 a pop on eBay. OUCH!
