You first entry (Bally's 1000 NCV Let it Ride) is an excellent acquisition! The seller is a well known collector and Member. The price paid was very good! The chip was made by RT Plastics (RTP), previously Langworthy and currently aka: Gambler's General Store on Main Street in Las Vegas, and owned by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC).
Next up, the Harvey triplets. Again, looks to be an excellent acquisition! I do not recognize the seller, but has good feedback and the scans indicate that the chips are in very nice condition. And Yse, the 2 chips are very striking designs!
Your 3rd item is again, another nice acquisition!! Again, I am not familiar with the seller, but good feedback and the scan does indicate excellent condition, at least on the side shown.
Your final acquisition, is reasonable, but, you should have been able to figure out that it was very Well Used by the scan alone. Look at the outer edge compared to the outer edge of the Reno Hilton scan. This one is rounded like an old bicycle tire and the Reno Hilton is sharp! Also, the Casino Internacional (which I am not familiar with) is dirty in such a way that it has seen a lot of table use, and therefore table waer. Look at the table jam in the crook of the cane at the 5 o'clock position. At the just before 12 o'clock position, you can see the big nick missing at the outer edge. Also, the table jam in the outer edge groove and lastly, given the clarity of this scan, you would expect to see the herring bone (cross hatching) normally found on the surface of chips like this, i.e., Paul-Son hat and cane. But there is no evidence of the cross hatching across the surface becuase it is so very worn.
Well, there you have it.
I think you did pretty good! And again, Welcome to the Adventure!!!
