Shaped Inlay Bond Chips

kingocards · #1 (**permalink**) 03-08-2006, 10:09 AM

I picked up (20) of these from Ebay and would like a little more info on them. I seen the other denoms with the shaped inlays but this is the first I have seen for the $25. Am I correct in assuming these belong to the same set as the other shaped inlay bond chips. Anyone know where I can find any of the other shaped inlay chips? They must be pretty rare if you can't even find them on Ebay.

That is the first shaped inlay that I have seen on a JB chip. Interesting though.

i picked up a hex inlay $500 on ebay for about $3 shipped right before they got super-hot... just be patient and keep looking.... that guy with all the scalloped $25's still has some left, though they used to be $4/chip... i've been trying to find some $100 cogs...

I believe the ones with the shaped inlay are the actual props from the movie. They are quite rare.

I understand that Paulson produced the round inlay version to sell in their stores quite some time after the ones for the movie were made.

some of the ones in the movie had shaped inlays, but they were quite different than these bond's with shaped inlays that look just like the one's without shaped inlays. the ones in the movie can be seen in this pic from ccgtcc:

another pic showing the hex $500:

No they are not from the movie...Robert Eisenstadt just posted something about these chips over at thechipboard and I'll put up a link later after work....nevermind, I just saw hunters post after I posted this note...There is a brief new discussion over there re movie chips at this link...but this one is in the middle of a thread http://www.thechipboard.com/cgi-bin/...es;read=500357

Thanks for all the info!! Strange that they would only do shaped inlays for the $25, $100 and $500 fantasy chips.

According to Robert Eisenstadt, that chip was the ONLY chip actually shown in the movie and it was at the very beginning only. And as many times as I've watched this movie looking for the chips, all I have ever seen are plaques.
