this topic seems quite popular right now so i decided to snap a few shots of my set and throw them up. most of you probably know about the crystal park chips, for those that don't, they are paulson chips from a closed casino in compton CA(reopened later as the NEW Crystal park casino with new chips) 650 chips in total - $1 150, $2 150, $5 150, $20 100, $25 50, $100 50. I bought these back in 2001 for .55 a chip :D .

Does the $100 chips looked like they've all been drilled?

I've a pretty big set of Crystal Park's myself, but this is impressive. The only thing I really don't like about them is that (aside from the $1) they seem to have gone in pretty much their own direction on color and don't match up with anyone else I've ever seen.
Soooo..... how many, all together? How much?
BTW, CP seems to have drilled all chips $100 and higher. I have 25 of their $1000 chips, and they are all drilled. Then again, try finding a retired casino chip above $100 that isn't drilled.

sorry for the large file, but it was the only way to illustrate what you are seeing on the 100's. when i first got them, i thought they were drilled and someone had filled the holes with some kind of plastic, but as you'll notice on the first chip, it's part of the mold, it was made that way. you'll also notice on the others that it's not always a circle, or it's barely visible. i've decided it was probably for security purposes.
MindGame - 650 total chips. as for how much, they arent' for sale if that's what you are asking:) and the colors are more common in CA. a lot of them have blue $1's and yellow $5's. i've never seen a casino with $2 and $3 chips so i guess they were on their own there. i've seen purple $25's and white $100's out there too.

you are right about the colors.
i think its a law that California card casinos have to have those colors.
every single one ive been to has:
Blue $1, Green $2 and Yellow $5 with purple $25 and white $100
on the other hand, all the indian casinos stick with the traditional vegas colors. there is a difference between card casinos and indian casinos here. indians can have blackjack whereas the card casinos can have "no bust" blackjack which is an absolute defacement of the game itself.
