Anyone know where I can find these? These were the chips used from the Maxamillion Casino Cruise that sailed out of Brooklyn. Looking for $1's and $5's about 500 total chips. Any help or leads?? Thanks guys!

Those are terrific authentic Bud Jones chips. A large amount was auctioned a month or two ago on eBay (for BIG $$$$$!), but I don't remember the auction. There are some higher denoms being auctioned now:

Maybe the same guy has others.

I just bought a bunch from that same guy.. and it was huge money :cry:

but now I need to expand this collection and add $5's and $1's

Hmmm, so you're the one who bought them....

If you're dead set on getting the Maximillions, I suppose you can just wait and see, cause there are more out there. But they will be pricey.

If you want some equivalent Bud Jones chips, you might look for the Dodge City (Washington) casino chips. They're almost the same. You just missed a reasonable auction ($1 apiece) for 200 of the dollar chips:

There was also a recent auction of a full set, but more expensive:

Actually, for $1 chips you could buy some racks from a real casino, at $1 apiece (duh!). My favorite is the Frontier Hotel in LV. Incredible $1 BJ chip:

Their $5 chip is a BJ masterpiece, but unfortunately they cost $5 apiece.

I just emailed the guy with the Dodge City chips.. we'll see what he says.. They look nice but I think the inlay for the Maxamillion is hard to beat IMO.

it doesnt bother you that the chips stick together?

Sticking together is a little misleading. It does have a little bit of suction between chips, but it's not that bad as people make them out to be. There is no way if you pick up one chip that another would "stick" to it and not fall off right away. And after some use, you won't even notice it.

There are Bud Jones chips that doesn't have that problem at all like the coin inlay ones and the BJ chips with circles (dots) on the face and on the edge.

basically the BJ chips without the metal center.

I have 2 sets of the BJ chips with the metal center and no one wants to play with them because they have a hard time shuffling them.

I have a set of every "type" of BJ chips, all except the cheaper econo BJ chips that are used in the WSOP and Bellagio WPT.

Man I REALLY WANT THOSE!

Are you referring to the cheaper BJ chips like the BJ wheel checks? I have some generic BJ roulette which are slightly lighter than standard BJ chips.

I know the ones you mean now. The few hundred Mirage Springs 50 cents chips are like those same ones.

The ones currently used as $1 house chips are PaulSon.

That one pictured aren't as cheap as the one I've shown.

Yours are actually pretty good. They actually have a clay-like sound and quality to them. I have a bunch of those too.

I would pay almost anything for a set like that. But the thing is, they generally only use those for the low den. You hardly see any $25 or $100 of that type. I would seriously pay $6 a chip for a full set.

I think Las Vegas Hilton has them. They recently released a new house set that are like those BJ you wanted. I'm not too sure about denoms above $5 though, but their 2003 release has those BJ chips too.
