POSEIDON

I was lucky enough to obtain the poker chips used in the current WARNER BROS movie remake of POSEIDON. There were 6 different chips produced for the movie and I am offering 1 of each chip (6 chips total) to chiptalk members for $18 shipped. I will only be able to make up 50 sets of these, and for now I'm only going to offer 30 sets at this time/price, so when they're gone they're gone. I will keep you updated on remaining sets below.

These are TRKING small crown mold chips.

You should have the $$ now. Was I the first? Did I make it? Do I get a special prize? Have they shipped yet? Are they here yet?

So I suppose you are trying to say they are not here yet either? On a serious note, thanks again for making these available to us. I really wanted to get two or three sets, but I don't want to be greedy and take sets that could go to other CTer's.

At a glance I was kind of put off balance by the chip colors they used because the 5/1k and the 100/10K bodies appear to be very close in color. I really like the line art profile of Poseidon - understated but very classy looking. I would love a playable set of these, but can't even imagine how much that would cost and how hard to come by. Any ideas how many of each were made for the movie?

The colors are odd, but I'm assuming they did this for the bright colorful shots in the movie. They wanted them to stand out. And I'm sure the props guy/girl had no idea about standard denom poker chip colors.

I purchase the 300 set, which I was told was all there was by WARNER BROS.

One more thing I forgot to add.

I am waiting on a certificate of authenticity from Warner Bros. Once I receive the COA I will scan into a pdf file and make it available to everyone. It will be nice to have for those who are going to display these chips in some way.

Also, I have 2 decks of cards also used in the movie. I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. Some ideas I'm throwing around are:

1. Contest to give away 1 deck.
2. Break the deck up and give away 1 card for every sample set purchased for displaying.
3. Sell them outright.
4. ???
