Gary - Did you say you and your father made the case?  If not, where did you pick it up?  (please!)<br />I think it makes much more sence to have that sort of case (or some tupperware at this point) than to use the coin pages.  I really dont see myself stuffing over 2000 tokens into coin pages.<br /><br />Congrats on the purp.<br />I bet I had better luck last year than I'll have this year, but here is hoping.  Last year, I ordered a 250 pack and snagged a purp.  A month or so later, I broke down and ordered a 2nd 250 pack and snagged another purp.<br />Who knows though, eh?

That is a 1000 poker chip case from the last INDY convention...not sure the dealer that sold it = but it was only $19.99 so I should have picked up 2-3 of them!<br /><br />Anyway the case thing Dad and I did - will only hold woodies - and it is more like a sorting board than a case...

The first two 1,000 count aluminum cases I found ran $30.<br /><br />2,000 ct for $65, but it's a luggage case with wheels and pull-up handle.<br /> http://www.pokernstuff.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3213 <br /><br />While I like the concept of the luggage case, it appears that the drawers themselves aren't lined with rows with which to store the chips.  As such, the chips would move about and mix.  My guess is that the 1,000 count cases would be better in the long run for that reason.

and at 1000 - it is very heavy!  I could not imagine trying to move 3000 at once...

Wow they have some pretty spiffy things. The one with wheels is probably needed with the new heavy chippies.<br /><br />By the by, how much heavier are the new tokens?

TONS...not sure the exact weight difference per 500 or 1000 - but let's put it this way...I'm worried about the weight limit for baggage!<br /><br />

So question, while you like how geeky cool heavy they are, do you hope they make them a smidge lighter next year?

I think, where I have a woodie and a chippie of the same token that I'm going to use at the TD runs, I may bring the woodie to lighten the load a bit.  Gotta have a bit of that old school charm anyways to go along with the spiffiness of the new tokens.

If they are 11 grams each (I think thats right, maybe 11.5?) then 800 would weight 8800 grams or 8.8kg = roughly 20 lbs!  :O
