I live in the Detroit area and know a dude who runs estate sales out in the 'well-to-do' suburbs all the time. Very often these become estate auctions, and I've gotten some incredible bargains.

What are the monitary values of the red, blue, white, colored poker chips? This 500 chip set from Da Vinci has a beautiful modern design in the classic poker chip coloring. With red, blue, green, black, and gray chips marked in denominations ranging from $1 to $500, this is a great basic poker chip set. The chips have large lettering for denominations and all have the same picture of a crest in the background.

Today (12-Sep-12015), there is an estate sale, and it will be an auction tomorrow. Up for bidding is :
'Vintage Vegas Casino poker chip collection including approximately 250 poker Casino gambling chips from closed and current casinos ranging from $.50 to $100 chips'

Are these 'collectibles' typically worth the face value, or less or more?

Are these 'collectibles' typically worth the face value, or less or more?

Less than face value.
Once, while travelling, I found a casino that had changed their chips out (and their name) - the old chips were no longer negotiable. They were selling off boxes of low denomination chips (60x $5, 20x $1 - $340 face value) for $10 - about 3% of face value.
IMO, the frames are worth more than the chips, and I wouldn't pay more than $10 a frame. The bare chips are maybe worth another $20.
If you should happen to find a negotiable chip in the mix, this raises its value significantly. If you happen to have a buyer lined up, this too raises the value. This is reasonably cool man cave decor.
Don't expect to make a killing on these.

I swore off sports memorabilia collecting. I have tons of it in storage. However I do like that pin set.
But I'm interested in casino stuff (not chip's, boring unless you can turn a quick profit)

What Are The Colored Poker Chips Worth It

People are probably going to grab the known sports memorabilia.
Can you get me the Korr's 6 pack? I'll pay up to $60.
That Al Jolson a light up promo sign? I'm interested, I have no clue what is worth but i'm thinking most people may avoid it. The right person would love that.
You might want to research the slot machines and see if there's some value.
I'm interested in some of the casino and Sinatra stuff. Ill work something out with you. PM me.

handmade duck collectibles----- these can be worth a lot and may go for real cheap,guy I worked with carved these in his spare time and was amazing good at it...... some sold for $600 each way back in the 90s
picture 110 the bottle on the left would be nice to have..... contents and vanilla ice cream oh the memories

Detroit is a great place for carpetbaggers right now... I'm getting some stuff for a penny on the dollar. These auctions sometimes let you buy a whole ROOM for like $30... these rooms are often in RICH homes, no shit... imagine going through someone's house and paying $30 for EVERYTHING in a room.
I'm leaving right now, if anyone wants me to make some bids for 'em, call me at 734-469-6308 in the next couple of hours or so, or contact Rick Behar (my pal who runs these sales) at the web site.
There is some AWESOME Vegas stuff here, the Rat-Pack stuff and all. I never got a clear answer about the old chips, but I think I'm willing go pay like maybe up to 20% of face value.. THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK, EVERYONE!!! MartyF.Y.I., the chips in the frames were about 5x face value.. way too much in my opinion, but I didn't really look what was there. That black artwork of Vegas history was going for $1,400 and some guy was questioning if Sammy Davis Jr.'s signature was authenticated.

That newer slot sold for $500. I bought that older slot machine for $252, but I can't get it to work yet... I think it needs some more dimes to prime the payout chamber.
It looks great, and it weighs a TON. it is an Imperial Crown, built by 'Pacific Manufacturing, L.L.C.' of Japan, I'm guessing around 1960 or so. I only found one Google photo of it and no information, like a MANUAL or specification. I can't find any more info about it yet, but I'm looking...That looked like an exceptional sale. EB, did you get in on any of the Sinatra stuff?
Sounds like your friend is doing something right, to get 5x face value, though I can't claim any expertise on chip collecting.
Out of all of it, the only thing I really craved was that huge Sinatra CD compilation. Did you notice what that went for?

My friend runs the auctions, he works with the home owner to set the prices and he just gets a straight commission on everything sold, like 10%. Apparently, the owner was big-time into Vegas and sports, and had enough money to buy all the memorabilia he wanted... I think those chip collections were custom done by the owner himself and that's why the prices seem high. Actually, everything was a bit pricey at this sale, but tomorrow should be better bargains.
But, like I was saying to coilman, there are a LOT of estate sales going on right now around here... who can afford health care? SERIOUSLY! This kind of thing is going to be common place VERY soon the way our economy is heading, and the way the medical profession has enslaved us all.

I didn't take note, but the sale isn't over until tomorrow, and at that time they may take bids at lower prices just to clear the floor.

Casino chips are identified by the different chips colors which are used in the chips of different denominations. In the earlier days when the casino chips had just been introduced, the chips were simply objects like bones, wood pieces and paper on which the value of the chips used to be engraved or written. All the chips were of similar color. However, with the pass of the time arose the need of having different colors in order to easily identify the different denominations in the chips.

Colors in home chips sets

For home games the chips are usually available in colors like blue, white and red and rarely in black and green. However, in the recent years more colors have been introduced in home sets and are easily available today especially low cost plastic chips.

The new sets include colors like grey, orange, yellow, purple and pink. New designs have been introduced too like the tree-color chips where the chips go through a molding process and have a unique base color, a secondary color and detail color. Chips sets are generally tailor made so the values of each colored chip would be different for different manufacturer.

Casino Chips Colors

The chips which are used in casinos have standard colors and sizes which are specified by Gaming Control Board in order to bring in some consistency. However, these rules differ for every state. Illinois and New Jersey have uniform structure while in Nevada there are no regulations. The casinos in Nevada use different colors like grey, blue or white for $1 and so on. Every casino also has a unique identification on their chips as per the state regulations.

Yellow chips are worth $20 in casinos in Illinois and Atlantic City while in Southern California they are worth $5 and in Connecticut they are $2. Blue chips are used as $10 in Atlantic City while in California and Las Vegas they are $1.

Larger denomination chips

What Are The Colored Poker Chips Worth Anything

Casino chips are also found in larger denominations like $1,000 or more, depending on the betting limits of a particular casino. These chips are generally orange and yellow in color and are larger in size. In Atlantic City and Nevada casinos chips of 5000, 10,000, 25,000 and even higher denominations are used though the colors used for these chips are different for every casino.

Chips of more than $5,000 are reserved especially for high limit game rooms and are not seen on the general floor for the public. Some casinos even have plaques instead of chips for higher denomination chips and the largest value was of $10 million which was used in Las Vegas at the London Club.

What Are The Different Colors Of Poker Chips Worth

In Europe the casinos follow a similar type of color scheme. Several European casinos clubvulcan777.org also use plaques and not chips for chips with higher denomination.

Colors and values

Generally the values represented by the colors of the chips are as given below but they might vary according to the jurisdiction of the casino:

• Peach - $0.25
• White - $0.50, $1
• Pink - $2.50
