Little glimpse at the RHC line up (might be changing the greens out in the future, same color chip and edgespot pattern, different color edgespots)

If you ever need a home for this entire set, I’m ready and willing to make a disgustingly fabulous offer.

But seriously, so beautiful. You guys are real chippers. The amount of time, effort and patience it must take to do this — incredible.

Awesome sets Ben & Brie. "Thank you for sharing". I almost feel like we are in some sort of Chippers Anonymous meeting saying that.

Just for you Mel! @liftapint the current TRK sample box!!

 

[Chippychips]

This is inspiring for the newbies on the forum.

Your collection of solid fracs is too cool. Love the pink Railroad Pass 25c!!

 

[johnjohn]

Congrats!

You have a problem

no SpeakEC buttons??

 

[cpac54]

I bought some crap early on, holy shit. It’s like looking at your dad’s 70s wardrobe and cringing.

One man's McDonald's is another man's haute cuisine!

Of course we have them brother!! Just been lazy on an updated picture! I will do that here shortly! Haha

New favorite thread. Wowzas!

That is very very kind of you sir!! Saddly your serch engine must be broken... the good thread is titled Windwalkersjourney!! I promise that one is more fun!!

I am just an idiot when It comes to electronics. People ask what we have all the time. I don't know how to make those media folders... I figured if I have a thread, I can just tag them here!

Once you have been chipping for a while, you phone is filled with chip pictures and trying to navigate to find sets is a pain (again yes I could probably make a folder but no idea how). Also when discussing meet ups and chip sets available... theres what you have to choose from! Haha

Hyattsville? Lol kidding. I'd have to hear the offer but on a scale of 1 to 10 trading my children away probably looking at -6

 

[redeagle]

Do you store all of these in racks? How do you handle storage for such a large collection?

Alright Mark Updated with your awesome Speak EC buttons there at the bottom brother!!

Damn...thought they would cover the mat now... guess I gotta keep Finding buttons!

I mean I could with the doubles

But that would be in bad taste!! Lol

 

[Chipandchair]

I see my button!!!

 

[Venturalvn]

18 months in I owned Neophytes and was saving up for a custom ASM set. This is not only impressive, this is impressive in a way that doesn't have words.

I got a Beach and Sky Valley bridge cut card for your binder when they get printed. You deserve it.

 

[Ben8257]

If you are thinking... that's not that many...

311 ungiue dealer buttons!! Lol

 

[JFCJ]

You two hit quantity AND quality in a huge way. Incredible sets! More than meetup quality. I got to see firsthand a third of these chips. Congrats to both of you!

Your sets are welcome in my games whenever you want guys. Once this COVID crap is over and we get back to a regular game . I love chips. I love my chips. My chips don’t HAVE to be the only ones used.
Just ask @Chippy McChiperson and @Cliff

Nah, he had a jack tournament set

 

[BGinGA]

We love our chips Tony... I am a construction worker man... I don’t care! Everywhere we take them we get compliments! If we ever find our selves at the table with @BGinGA, @k9dr, @inca911, @RainmanTrail... then i assure you they all have much better quality chips that will be in play. AND we will look forward to the oppritunity to share that felt time...

But for 90 plus percent on this forum.. and I would say 95% of regular home poker players, our collection works just fine!!


I am Blue Collar and never claimed to be anything else!! But you always want one fat poor drunk dude at the table... they are almost always the funny ones!!

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I started out blue collar, eventually went white collar, and am now solidly dog collar. Wear it proudly!

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Some amazing sets here! Only problem is I haven't played with them yet lol

Damned covid!

 

[Ben8257]

So I packed up the buttons and decided what the hell! It will only take 2 hours to lay all the ASM/CPC samples out on the table!

Every single chip is a true work of art!!! Well done... well... everyone!! Haha

Tons of help with these from my chipping brother @BarrieJ3! If he ever logs back on I think he will be proud of this pic!! Thank you Jeff not only for help with us, but all the chippers you help out with samples on the daily. Selling at cost, or less ALL of the time!! Many times even giving chips away to someone that needs them!
