The true hidden silver lining here is that due to their specific history, those great giraffe color/spot combos could potentially reappear as future home market chips, if/when GPI ever decides to reenter the market.

Now THAT would be magnificent, indeed -- imagine pallets of those chips hitting the market for under a buck fiddy.... even if with cheesy inlays on the card pip, lammer, or PC mold.

But murder, so no worries on the inlay.

I think it is pretty sad to rain on the parade of new chip collectors that coincidentally have the means to buy what they want. The excitement and joy of collecting/buying chips has a honeymoon period that can only be experienced once. New passionate chip collectors shouldn't allow seasoned chip curmudgeons to spoil their fun. I assure you the excitement and honeymoon period does wear off.

Chipping isn't what it used to be blah blah blah. Why should @windwalker know or care about that? It has nothing to do with him. He found a new hobby and is enjoying it.

Incredibly bad taste to pick on new chip collectors.

 

[BarrieJ3]

What chips need all this protection?

Spoiler: These tasty treats

Thanks @Darson! Popping em open tonight!

Unexpected mail pron - what could it be

Latest delivery from @BarrieJ3

This is the right thread for this right??? I mean it is a delivery...

 

[Geremie]

Awesome cut cards from @grantc54

 

[grantc54]

So I got another order of dealer buttons in. Why so many? I do not know. I originally had 10, but was down to a few, so thought I would get some more to have in hand, but shipping is only a little more for 20 vs 10, and I did get a crap load of cut cards due to extras.... it's a sickness.

Dibs on an extra DB if you're willing to sell! I know @Himewad collects buttons too!

Five shipments over the past ten days:

 

[Lil Tuna]

Want to give a big shout out to @T_Chan for making me this dust cover for my card table. My old cover had seen better days.
Thanks Tony, it fits and looks great.

 

[razer8c]

Today's delivery, just a used single but I love this chip

 

[One Eyed Dollar]

How many unicorns fit in an LFRB?

Spoiler

Over 1600! But apparently it takes them a long time to travel. Almost 3 weeks to go 2 States, and heavy enough to get a sticker.

I haven't found any casualties yet. Thanks @Davism72!

 

[GenghisKhan]

Got another lot of BCC Martini Clubs today!
Thanks Mel @liftapint
Amazing packing job. A forklift probably could not mess with this box lol.

Here they are reunited with the shipment from @Angie99 : I was lucky enough both sets had the same version of $1 and $100.

Now to find more 25s, and higher denoms.
May as well run it into "tourney" numbers.

Mails here

The polarizing giraffe, some cajun cups to finish a rack and I'll be keeping 1 barrel of jessie becks for my budding black/charcoal hot stamp collection

 

[horseshoez]

It's true I did. I'm also done.

I beg to differ given the track record. God only knows how many popcorn worthy moments we’ve witnessed while watching you go ham on some poor unsuspecting PCF soul. Pretty sure we’ll see more somewhat inexplicable keyboard abuse from your end lol If I were to be conducting a warrior ceremony for Keyboard Warriors of PCF, you’d surely be one of the first five to receive the honors.

Now go, fight the good fight.

Got a Mystery Box from Seattle today. Not really a mystery as it was a box of 12 unopened decks of Blue Gemaco Superflex cards. I got them off of eBay and scooped them up right away. The price was too good to pass up. Unfortunately the lady sold the Red Decks like two weeks earlier. I was able to scoop up 6 Red Decks from that buyer and the 6 other red decks went to other members on here. Fortunately all red Decks are back paired with their counterparts. Unfortunately all decks are spoken for and there are none available.

 

[Rbonus012]

Thanks Mel @liftapint might have found a rabbit hole.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Might need to auction Aztar twice to go down that rabbit hole

Sorry jumped the gun. I’ll be back in 28 days...

Always count on you to bust on me

And how often does he bust on you? This is a safe space, you can tell us.

 

[BarrieJ3]

I don't know why everyone's worried about USPS. I'm single handedly keeping them in business, and da*n if every package isn't right on time! (I'm counting my blessings and hope that it keeps up!)

Anywhos, box

Spoiler: Chip Storage

I know it's nothing much, but to me this is insanely awesome! I have 0 storage things like this for chips, this is my first. Chip and plaque storage!

And I know a ton of pictures of these are cropping up, but they're just so awesome. We desperately need to have some US ones made. Timinator said he would help out, just need some US chipper folk to help out with design and lets get an order going!

I hope that your new place has a dedicated poker (storage) room.
