700 5 chip sets made, plus 3 extra racks of green and 5 extra racks of red.
The only uncirculated ones are the $1 chips and about 4 racks of the $500. All the rest were on the tables. Chip count in the poker tournament was $160,000, a little over 3 racks of $500's.
Smoke free? Not quite. They sat in my office for a week before the tournaments.
All chips were counted before the BJ tourney and were accounted for except the 4 sets Chris put in the plaques. Counted again before the poker tourney. Someone had harvested 2 - $5, 1 - $25, and 1 - $100 in the BJ tourney.
The orginal idea behind the $1 chips was to make a 5 chip set and because we have a lot of $1 collectors in the hobby.
I spoke to Robert about doing $1,000 chips next year. $500 are tough to count for in-experienced players in the higher limit rounds.
The guy lied about getting them beforehand.
