For Sale: 1050 Nevada Jacks Skulls Cash/Tourney set

[frommagio]

This set of Nevada Jacks skulls was built for low/medium limit cash games and also tourneys. The low-denom chips (.25-1.00) have seen action once. All the other chips have never been played with.

I liked the skulls, and began to build a killer set. I grabbed the hard-to-find gray .25 cent chips to avoid the similarity of the pink .25's and orange .50's. The tourney setup was based on the recommendations at a well-known poker tourney site. I purchased the 5 10-chip sample sets so that I'd never be in a pinch if a few chips were lost.

The set has the following:
100 .25 (GRAY)
100 .50
200 1.00
200 5.00
200 25.00
50 100.00
50 500.00
50 1000.00
50 5000.00
50 samples (5 10-chip samples, all NJ skulls ever made - pink & gray .50's).
1 500-chip aluminum case with key, dealer button, 5 dice, two packs of NJ-logo Copag cards (cards opened, used once).

I very much like this set, but some of the older folks in my poker group simply don't like the skulls. So I've decided to look for a new set.

Ideally, the set will be sold as a whole. If there's no interest, then I suppose I'll need to break it up. I'm asking $450 plus shipping for the whole package.

[Yo Adrians!]

I'm interested ... but you'll need to PM me with several pictures.

[Etaipo]

If you don't get the whole set sold, I'd be interested in partials.

Particularly the quarters and half dollars.

[frommagio]

PM sent to yoadrians. Etaipo, thanks for your interest. We'll see how things go.

[frommagio]

Just so folks know - haven't received any interest in this set yet. Make me an offer!

When you say they don't like the skulls you mean they don't like the chips or they don't like the skull design?

I'm just curious.

Well, we were playing a .25/.50/1.00 cash game (grey, orange, blue), and $5 reds eventually on the rebuys. The older fellows were raised on red, white and blue chips (the classic plastic ones) - the way God intended. They just felt that the colors were strange.

Once one of them made a mistake (wrong denomination), they all began to complain that the chips weren't normal.

Actually, I wonder what the standard is for red, white, blue chip denominations in a .25/.50/1.00 game. The NJ blues are $1, does that match up? And what about the $5 red vs. the plastic chip red assignment? The mistake that started the complaining was trying to play a red $5 as some other cheap chip.

I would have thought that the printed denominations would have removed any problem.

Well, yes, but I hope to be old and and crotchety myself someday. In the meantime, I need to engage in some legal chip dumping.

Don't use 50 cent chips with 25s and $1 chips. A third denomination adds confusion, but no useful role in the game. If there are only two colors, even the retard-nits can figure out what is what. On a 25-50 blind limit game, people toss one chip to call (50), and one chip to raise ($1). It's confusing (esp from other end of the table), and unnecessary.

I can't imagine what denomination anyone would expect a red chip to be but $5. What did your player say he thought it should be? Folk often play white=1, red=5, blue=10 with the "god made 'em" chips. This doesn't work with a quarter-dollar game, but denominations on your chips makes it obvious for everyone who can read. ugh.
