Just came across these on ebay. If your name is Mike your in luck. Thought someone might be interested. If they said Bill's Casino I would have taken them myself!! from homepokerchips.com he says.
Good luck

That poor bastard needs to get a new wife! LOL

I know!!

If it is true that his wife is making him sell that's pretty bad. Is any women worth that much!!
At first I thought it might be a scam, like maybe he stole mike's chips!! Because this makes no sense. he's selling with no reserve. a 750$ set could sell for a 100 bucks!! this is a discrace!!

Hmm... how much does it cost to change your name? Thinking it might be worth it for me.

Thanks! My real name is Mike, and even though the chips are a little goofy, I'll grab em for the right price.

Too bad he screwed up the colors on all but the 25. And why did he have to put dice on them?

i once new a guy named mike. too bad he didn't play cards.

I guess even for being 22, I'm too traditional because I wouldn't stand for the $100's being red. just my .02

That is one of their Stock Art chips, customized with his name (comes with the dice). Really is to bad about the colors.

i dont understand why all the negativities towards the color. I mean really, what is traditional casino colors. Not all the US casinos use the same colors, and even then, i know many international casinos that do not use the same standard colors as the ones in the US. Its a custom set, so the colors should be whatever the owner prefers. Personally, i think the color choice should be what we feel looks good together. For example, most of us im guessing, use mostly $1 and $5 chips. So those two should be two colors that look good together, and i don' t think that red and white looks the greatest together.

because it's what the owner prefers. for me to buy them, they would have to be MY idea of traditional casino colors that seems to be the norm throughout all of the casinos & riverboats I've played in.

Just imagine if street lights in one town nearby were GREEN for stop and RED for GO. I don't think I'd be driving around in that town much, nor would most people I know. I guess we are all lame & fear change...
