DAGNABBIT!Well, yeah, but they were cumulonimbus. Those suckers are dangerous ...
Wondering if people’s chipping goals have changed.I think my goal is now: one nice cash set of paulsons (where I like the inlay/chip colour. The longer I’m here, the more I realise I’m not going to buy a Paulson just because it’s a Paulson. Some chips out there are just not that appealing to me), one custom set of card mold ceramics (whenever the next group buy occurs), and mayyybe one set of CPC customs.
Not too long ago I was in a one and done camp. Now it’s up to 3 sets. But no more, I’m 99% sure.
Sounds like the classic chipping journey to me...Wondering if people’s chipping goals have changed.
I acquired my cards mold set a few months ago and my players like them a lot.
I’m still looking to potentially pick up a clay (Paulson or CPC) cash set but am biding my time. What I thought this second set would be has morphed several times, but I’m leaning Paulson. There definitely won’t be a third set now, though.
We really liked our garden city's that was one of the first sets we built. And then we also built out the Ace's casino... didn't need 2 oversized inlay RHC sets lolI caught the bug around 8 years ago and thought "a custom chipco set is all I need" but once I got it, I found i was less than satisfied.... a chipco cash set (The club, Everett WA).... bigger Chipco cash set (Hard Rock), and then BCC happened, (Garden City) then Paulson (RHC Aztar, THC Empress). I thought I was good after The Empress chips and it was almost 5 years of serenity, playing tourneys, cash games and enjoying them all. Then Covid hit, and now Bud Jones is in the house, and TRK is f'ing raging wide open.... and I still think there's an H-mold, and perhaps a cool old hotstamp set I might want to see in play. I definitely have a pattern, I don't feel the urge to have more than one of each type.... so I think I'm imna better place than so many others (I started tagging... but then I realized there's too many of you, just lost out there, lol).
You plan for CPC prices to drop at some point? Hmm don't think that's happening.We really liked our garden city's that was one of the first sets we built. And then we also built out the Ace's casino... didn't need 2 oversized inlay RHC sets lol
Absolutely love our hot stamps too
We really enjoy having a variety of chips to play with... it's nice to be able to pick something different once in awhile lol
Although I can say there's some trends of sets that are chosen more regularly than others
I was working on an RHC relabel set, but have swapped gears to a THC milling project. Still planning to do a CPC set in the future, may have to wait until the prices come back down though lol
Supposedly they will be coming back down (somewhat) when the "supply shortage" is overYou plan for CPC prices to drop at some point? Hmm don't think that's happening.

I'm not doubting this, but where and when was this announced?David announced and raises the prices every year and people seem to make a big deal out of it but the increase is just by a few pennies per chip. I wouldn’t ever expect the prices to drop below 2021 pricing. He pre-announced a price increase last week which shouldn’t be a surprise. He mentioned materials shortages, which is certainly a real thing being experienced by all kinds of manufacturers. We will see this week if the increase is nominal like in past years or if it is a serious unprecedented jump.
At the moment though CPCs aren’t the premium prices product that they used to be relative to Paulsons. As long as you are conscious of the pricing you can still design epic sets for reasonable prices. Sure some people go crazy with L11 spots but there are awesome spots L3-L5 and good color choice and combinations and a nice inlay design take you much closer to an epic set than crazy spot patterns. My upcoming Casa Mango cash set has pricey shaped inlays on $1-$100 with great bright DG colors and still only cost about $3/chip on average. The Casa Mango tournament set was $2.50/chip also with great multi colored spots.
And to answer the OP, these CPC sets are going to be the culmination of my chipping experience and pretty close to my Nirvana.

Bummer.For this upcoming year? The pre announcement is below and he is supposed to make it official this week. But like I said, he just announced that there will be a price increase. He didn’t say what it will be and it won’t go in effect until 2022. He similarly has always announced past years price increases in his vendor forum.

I was aware of the annual increases, and I don't think his prices are out of line, but then again they seem so affordable because Paulson's are so ridiculously priced right now. Times are weird right now, I wasn't complaining per say, more hopeful of what could possibly change in the future. It's relative anyway I won't be able to do anything CPC until artwork is ready, and that's on hold. Either way I'd have no issue paying for the fully custom aspect as well as brand new chips. But for the price I have seen some less than sellable quality chips leave their factory.David announced and raises the prices every year and people seem to make a big deal out of it but the increase is just by a few pennies per chip.

A few years ago: CPCs are the end goal! But they're crazy expensive, because there's so much manual labor in making them. Buy THCs in the meantime.
Today: THCs are the end goal! But they're crazy expensive, because they aren't making any more of them. Buy CPCs in the meantime.

u still going for this?My unrealistic chipping Nirvana: win the lottery / become a millionaire and have enough money to throw at GPI to create a custom set for my own private cardroom.
My realistic chipping Nirvana: own CPC Rounders + Chesterfield Club cash sets.
Well, there's a CPC set in the works, but not Rounders or Chesterfield Club.u still going for this?
