As a last resort, you can email them:

Email the pictures to experts@justanswer.com. They have to be sent from the same email address that you used to sign up for Just Answer (which is usually the email address you use to Log In). It has to be the same email address or JA won't recognize it and they'll just delete them.

Make sure you tell them that you've tried everything and that you're trying to get pictures to me (DianaF) in antiques and give them your screen (customer) name and your real name.

Thanks,
~Diana

Diana I will send you pictures after I am back from mothers day. Until then the set comes with 4 sets of cards and a world series of poker dealer puck that seems made of one piece of metal and is engrained with the WSOP logo. It is a 500 piece set. With 140 white 100 red 100 green 100 blue and 60 black chips. I have seen the chips called WSOP series III but am not sure if that's real or not. The case is black and wooden with a felt bottom. The handle has a trademark on it. It looks like a lower case y and w, with two half circles around it. It also say NO: 937 in the space after that. That's all the info I have at the moment. Thank you.

Here are pictures showing everything from the maker mark to the hinges. This is the first time I have taken the chip racks out and now I see the case even has raised platforms of felt covered wood for the racks and to make the cards fit. The playing cards have no Identifying company marks and I am hesitent to open a pack to find out what is inside. The chips are definitely made of clay, they even have "glitter" in the medium to give them a bit of luster. I hadn't noticed this before. I am very intresested to see if yo can help me find the value of this thing.

Hi.

I can help.

Tha's a world series chips set. It looks like an Excalibur. Those are usually in an aluminium case, but the setup is the same...even down to the dealer button. They are made of clay with no metal inserts in the chips. It's a high end professional grade casion quality poker set. It's a fairly modern set. It's a 937 model which was sold around 2005. Most of the 937's were actually sold through the Rio casino in Vegas where the championship was held. Odds are your set came from that same gift shop. Smile


Based on my records, your set should have a current secondary market value in the range of $150 to $200 depending on where they are sold.

Keep in mind that prices will depend on the exact condition of your pieces and where you sell them.
.
Etsy and Amazon are turning about to be a great alternative to Ebay and do sell worldwide. http://www.bonanza.com/ and http://www.artfire.com/ are pretty good up and coming online sites.
.
Ebay is more or less a last resort. It does reach a lot of people, but the values tend to be lower. You will always get a higher value by selling it yourself as opposed to an auction or selling it to a dealer because they're looking for profits
too.
.
If you go with Ebay, consider a reserve.
.

If I can be of any further help or if you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

.

Please make sure to rate my answer or choose a smile or star if I have been of any help, since this is the only way we are compensated. A good feedback or rating lets Just Answer/ Pearl know that I did a good job and therefore I get compensated for my time and work. It's very much appreciated. Smile
.

If there is a problem with my answer or you don't feel it I deserve a good feedback or rating, please contact me before leaving any neutral or negative feedback. I want to do everything I can to make sure you're satisfied.

.

If you would like to use me on any further questions. Requesting me expires in just a short time. If you put my name (DianaF) in the question, that will make sure it gets to me.

.

I look forward to working with you again.

.

Have a great day!

Diana
