Hello,
I spent part of the last 2 days in AC..
I picked up what are going to be my 1st traders..
My question is..Should I clean these ?.. I don't know as I'm new to this trading thing..



On the aside..I got my 1st B+M casino straight flush ever..
and Trump Taj has the dirtiest chips I have ever seen..
If I should clean these .. How should I do it??

I say don't clean them. Let the person that will get them (the person you're trading with) decide if they want them cleaned or not.

I clean all my chips especially from casino. If you choose to clean them make sure you get the correct solution.

Check on Poker Chips Care.

Good luck

Agreed. If you're not keeping them, then don't clean them. Leave that to the person you're trading with or selling to.

I third that.
They can always be cleaned later.

ok.... thanks for the info..
But the ones I want keep for myself I should clean if possible ??

I would think if they are collectors, they would want to clean it themselves.

For those, you should do whatever makes you happy.

Treat this as a question, not advice:

I understand some collectors like their chips in the same condition they left the casino in (i.e. dirty, if that's how they were). However, wouldn't cleaning them generally make it easier to identify (and share via photography) what condition the chips themselves are in? I've always been curious about this... I've seen pictures of chips so dirty that you honestly can't tell what they'd look like under the dirt - could be poor with rounded/chipped edges, or might be excellent; can't tell from the picture. And even cleaning and oiling Paulson Cherries (with intent to use in play; I'm not really a collector of chips for the sake of collecting), I've been shocked at how much better a "good" condition chip looks afterwards. And they look "better than described" in photos after, too!

Even if you are not keeping the chips, if they are from the Taj, you have to clean them before you ship them. They are considered biohazardous otherwise. It seems all AC casinos are taking their cue from Trump as they all are getting nasty. One more reason to play at Borgata. Clean Bud Jones plastic.
