New Closed Casino Cruise Chips B&G - L@@K!

My buddy and I split chips from a closed casino ship in St. Petersburg, FL. They are really nice GPI Bourgogne et Grasset chips from the Ocean Jewel. The ship's now dry docked and in bankruptcy but the chips survived.

The chips have a great feel to them and handle similar to Bud Jones chips with a slight chalky-clay like feel to them. Very nice really. I love the $.50 and $100 chips.

I never played on the ship, but I have some pictures of it. Apparently they had some decent stakes at their poker tables which is strange considering it is an anchored off-shore casino boat in St. Petersburg.

Here is a basic stacked picture as we sorted through the chips:

Let me know what you think,

Can't wait to get a game going with them!

Thanks for the quick responses! We plan on selling some, but I'm keeping a massive set for myself. Gosh darnit, I deserve it!

If interested I have a set listed in the auctions portion of this forum. As more pictures become available, I'll post them. Just trying to decide what breakdown I'd like in my set. The $100's are great, but there weren't a lot of them.

Nice score! They look in great shape too. I really like the tight spots on the stacks of red 5's. Congrats.

Thanks J. My buddy and I just got done going through all of them and we have our respective sets put together. I'm just waiting to hear back from tenpercenter on how he'd like us to approach selling the left-overs.

These chips are even better in person! I'll add more pictures as time permits. I added a new tournament set in the "auction" portion of the forum in the mean time.

Thanks for everyone's feedback!
