Entrepeneur 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Just wondering about that. I'm assuming they're dated from this year, so do they sell them?Just thinking if I was someone like Robert Varkoni, I'd have wanted to keep the chips so when I'm back at home playing in my $1/2 no limit (100 max of course) buy in game I can say "Hey...let's use the chips from when I won the World Series of Poker."With 90 million chips (value), how many chips did they manufacture for the event? If it's Paulson, wonder how good of a deal they got.Alf? You are certainly the chip man here. Any clue? Link to post Share on other sites
_Great_Dane_ 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I believe that they reuse the chips, but they added some higher denomination chips this year due to the increased attendance. Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks..Had looked on ebay and saw the "replica" chips for sale, and thought they had dates on them. Assumed the WSOP for 06 would be labeled as such.Thanks Dane.. Link to post Share on other sites
kers2 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I went to Vegas in August 2004, and to Binions with the sole intent of buying some of the actual chips from the WSOP that year. At Binions they had "WSOP Chips" on sale in the gift shop but all they were were lammers from satellites. I kept looking for them but failed that mission Link to post Share on other sites

Dogpatch 2 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I wondered the same thing actually. Seems like they'd use new chips every year. I think the winner should get the chips. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I wondered the same thing actually. Seems like they'd use new chips every year. I think the winner should get the chips.There's just no way some of those 100K chips wouldn't have found their way into my pockets if I had won. Hell, with Gold's chiplead I would have been swiping them from my own stack during breaks. What's a million when you have 40? Link to post Share on other sites

Dogpatch 2 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Funny?Let me call TBS... sorry, they said no. I mean it was too obvious, the delivery sucked (I don't know of any way to deliver it better), everyone was going with it being Jesus El Savior Christ, so trying to turn it into a poker related thing wasn't going to work.

Entrepeneur 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 So, I take off to Florida for Christmas and can't find an internet connection for a day and a half.I'm excited to see something I started having 2 pages. Half-way down page 1...Jesus...Black...Thanks...BumpChips...Originally I was stupidly thinking there were 90 million actual chips in play. Figured if Paulsons are regularly about a $1.00 a chip. Then the probably got them for $00.55 to $00.65 cents each. Then realized I'm an idiot and there weren't 90 million actual chips. I would be curious to see if anybody has an idea how many chips they actually had. Especially near the beginning with multiple tournaments going on. Just kind of cool to think about how much money they dumped into chips.If I was Jamie Gold, yep, definitely would have said I want a set of chips for my home game.Jesus would have been mid-eastern anyway. But certainly not the 'stock' white photo we have of him.The black photo of Jesus..didn't that come from JJ and that tv show?Thanks for the highjack...very funny and so totally random. Pefect.For those who played in ME, with $10,000 in chips, what were the chip breakdowns at start-up? Link to post Share on other sites
