Finally dawned on me that the wee guy is the same shape as Nevada. I thought he was a slice of pizza or a Dorito or something

If the wee guys name is “Bucky”, you may be on to something.

Too cool. Did you have this made?

That’s lost on me as well . Over here Bucky is a caffeinated wine made by monks that’s popular among football hooligans and tramps and is affectionately known as “wreck the hoose juice”

I'll open after beers

 

[Lil Tuna]

Did not. To my understanding, a friend of @JWC had found the clock many years ago and redid the dial in it to give it a newer look.
The clock hung in his friends business for 20 years or so until John purchased it from him.
I inquired myself about purchasing the clock for my NL/NC themed card room and John and I were able to make a deal on it.
I’m super stoked to have another great piece for my poker room.

Glad they made it!

Haven’t been receiving a lot of mail lately but this one I’m extra excited about. What I believe to be the exact chip lineup for the 2003 WSOP Main Event that Moneymaker won, which hooked me on Hold’em (yellow $500 bonus too!)...

And my first ever Bud Jones chips...

That is correct sir...sweet chips! The only other variant being the "non-white ring" 1K.

 

[Lemonzest]

Stormy picture but some solid chips came in today!

p.s please send me a barrel of claim stakes lol

If you ever want to sell the SS 5s please let me know.

 

[Rbonus012]

If you ever want to sell the SS 5s please let me know.

I have another rack of them on the way

Will hit you up if the set ever gets broken up tho

I believe the influx of new members is part of this (and I am part of this group as well). Imagine every new member has at a minimum, a small keeper set of desirable chips. For every set that gets assembled, it also gets taken off of the market. Even a few chips per new member would add up quickly.
If a member has a couple cash sets and a couple tournament sets, like I do, they remove a few thousand+ chips from the available "pool" of chips.

Here's a quick chart I put together showing the increased membership rate of PCF. Granted, they're not all still active or even necessarily chip buyers, but you can see the community growth and consider the impact on the "limited" supply of chips.

The other part, and I can only speak for myself, but since my home game went on hiatus, I've decided to try to finish up some projects. I have a few chips that I may sell, but not until my "replacement" sets are complete and usable. I'm basically not chipping real hard since I can't get new chips in play.

I wonder if you can also chart the increasing stupidity and impatience displayed by some of those noobs, as they hoover up everything and anything shiny at increasingly outrageous prices.

Sorry that’s too subjective for me to chart.

Ok maybe just chart the price increases of unleaded (particularly rhc) chips over the same time period and let the numbers speak for themselves lol.

Damn I'm salty this week

Add in nagb inflation and that’s a pretty accurate model.

This sentiment has been present in one form or another for at least the entire 12 (?) years I've been chipping.

Wow that's sweet Tom!

[WedgeRock]

The original chips used for the quarters never excited me.

The relabel is magnificent.

The $1 and the $5 look incredible together. In fact, those two chips would make an awesome limit set.

 

[liftapint]

words can’t describe how jealous I feel LOL great pick up!

I'm right there with you, @AfterTheFact!

Great addition, @Lil Tuna! Really really cool!
