Only four?

 

[Toby]

Was just about to voice my disappointment the Hard Candy Gangsters didn't make the cut again this year......

Is that an actual set?

It was too beautiful to live, alas

 

[bivey]

Chateau de Noix was delivered May 2013.

Edit: I am honored to have CdN included alongside such amazing sets. It will take me days to figure this out.

RIP? I guess?

Paging all the active owners (and creator) of these sets
@AlbinoDragon
@k9dr
@Puggy
@meatboy
@bmichaelhorn
@bivey
@stocky
@toad94

Just want to make sure everyone with a set nominated knows.

 

[atomiktoaster]

Very nice choices. I feel like I was swayed a bit by the "new and flashy" to the detriment of some of the more groundbreaking early sets this time, but there's always next year, I guess. I wish the Bel Air set had made it out of committee this time. It would have gotten a vote from me.

Would the committee share a "first four out" list?

 

[BGinGA]

^^ This. And perhaps sets that were considered, but not included in the final 14 (like you did last year).

 

[Bordizzle]

Whoa, how have I not seen these?

They aren't ready yet... Should be here by the end of the month

I didn't know this even existed. Great looking chip. What was the $11 denomination for?

 

[John Masterfly]

Is it possible to have 14 choices ?

Amazing sets btw

Some kind of commem chip, he never said exactly.

 

[bmichaelhorn]

Thanks to the committee for the nomination. I also wanted to commend them on the thoughtful mix of contemporary and historically important sets. I personally have voted for half new and half older sets each year because I feel like it's important to maintain a foot in both past and present. I also was happy to discover a couple new (to me) sets: Steel City, Casino Antarctica and The Lounge!

I think you just nominated yourself for a project Pasi...

Actually @Poker Zombie tried getting a database of all things custom together and found it overwhelming.

 

[BGinGA]

Ahem

Thank you. That's quite a list!

 

[Puggy]

Chiptionary?

YUUUP!

 

[72o]

Awesome job guys. Really enjoyed the write ups. Congrats to all the nominees.

Yeah...honestly. Thank you for doing the homework. After reading a certain thread yesterday that left a very bad taste in my mouth, this feels like we're back on track.

 

[pltrgyst]

Only four?

I only voted for two -- wish I could have voted for each of them twice, though.

IMO, the rest are nice, but not HoF nice. YMMV...

 

[CraigT78]

Voted! Those Colony Club chips are to die for. Exquisite.

 

[Puggy]

To vote myself I forced. A tough decision it was. Really tough.
Thank you for the committee for nomination. And thank you for your hard work.

 

[CraigT78]

I had two easy standout votes. The other two votes were tough - all are some great looking chips. I can't wait to order my first set, and hope they come half as close to looking as good as these do.

 

[stocky]

Thanks to the committee members for your hard work and for the nomination.

This is going to be extremely hard to choose, I don't even what to pick first.

 

[Mr Tree]

Ha!

You mean you don't know what to pick second! [emoji41]

 

[stocky]

Ha!

Lol honestly it's that tough for me that for a split second I considered NOT picking my set. But ofcourse in the end I did.

Oh...and I didn't vote mine (I reread the first sentence, so have to correct).

Whaaaaa????

No shame in voting for yourself.
