Lucky seat #4?

It’s opposite haha unlucky #4

In Mandarin 4 sound similar to “death” or “die” , so the 4 is omitted

Like some building in Asia they don’t have 4th floor

Haven't had mail for a while, and after a slight delay in Singapore (5 days), the HSI plaques have arrived. Thanks goes to @JWJ for re-shipping in the US. He is a stand up fella and even though he has had his plaques for a couple of days, didn't post 'em. Cheers mate

 

[JP1984]

Was only expecting one package today!

Thanks @Brandon the BTPs are incredible, now I need to decide what to do with my lineup which I thought I had finished!

Also, thanks @Goldfish amazing chips, I couldn't face murdering another 100 and probably the best packing job I have ever seen.

Some Taj showed up today…

That was a great snag, congrats. Odd ending time for the auction (Friday at like 10am), I'm guessing that's why so many forgot/missed them. I missed my reminder notification by like 2 minutes while in a meeting lol.

It was actually a Monday morning around 10amEST which is probably about the worst (or best) time to end an auction. I just had a safety bid in. Didn’t expect to actually land them.

Thanks a lot @jpietrella! These are awesome and the double sided color was a pleasant surprise. Now time to find some secondaries ^^

Everybody is after me lucky charms!! Had the high bid all week @Lil Tuna and I got to talk on one of his long drives and totally forgot to put my bid in.

My $1s are "mixed" to say it best, definitely some well loved troopers in there! I said 3 mixed racks and that's enough... but the chance to get to 160 of the same chip, in case somebody doesn't like my silly mixed set Idea. I know it is a mess! Haha

About 700 different combinations of dirty stack issues, giant inlay/regular... BUT I still love them! And yes plan to Mill the Blues to make Taj Quarters.

If anyone was curious where all of my chipping funds have gone for the last year! Way more money than I would ever want to admit has gone into this one! Lol

 

[Brandon]

Ah yes…….

 

[kkcc98]

Heavy mail today 30kg total ………

I wish it was 30kg of chips but it my new round Poker Table for my 6 handed game

View attachment 812658

Nice! What are the dimensions?

 

[WedgeRock]

Do you have to get a separate table for Omaha, then?

 

[LeLe]

Nice! What are the dimensions?

The one is the 50 inch or 1.27m size table

Do you have to get a separate table for Omaha, then?

Haha I had a rectangular table for 9/10 people but i prefer 6 hand over full table so I got a round table for that

 

[Marius L]

Some nice generic(I think?) hot stamped solids!
Las Vegas Nevada on one side, and denom on the other. Hot pink $1000 is cool.

Dibs!

 

[Phantom]

Love these!

Thanks mate, really happy with how they turned out

 

[Chris Manzoni]

Love these! Got an extra for my good friends 90+ year old grandfather WWII Marine!

 

[megarises]

This is probably the coolest thing I’ve experienced since joining the forum. Shoutout @MikesDad for your kindness. This set is even better in person!!!

 

[Chipnut]

Just a few more tournament chips. Thanks @SeanGecko for organizing this group buy. Chips came out great!!

 

[Sambukan]

They arrived (italy - usa, usa - switzerland) just in time for my game on saturday. I think iam more excited than for my paulson sets.
This retires me defintely in the chipping game as 4 cashgame sets are more than enough. Reached chipping nirvana...

 

[RivieraDanny]

My order from @Spinettis Gaming arrives today. By end of day I must be at the very end of the route!!

Wife looks at box and says, "those better not be poker chips"...

Me:

I really don’t want to be a Debbie Downer but I’m not sure if I’m a fan of the PCF packing tape. I feel like I have heard stories about packages going missing if they are known to be poker chips. This basically gives it away. Super heavy box with Poker Chip Forum blasted on it is pretty obvious. I know Classic Poker Chips has their name in the return address but it’s not as prominent. Just my thoughts.

The same thing goes through my mind, actually. I love the idea and when they do arrive, it makes it so much more special. But it is like putting a target on the box.

... also, there's the ball-and-chain uhh err love-of-my-life that now knows what's in there. I'm more scared of what's going to happen when she sees the box...

Modify the tried-and-true response:

That box?! No, I've had that box for a while now...

[chipinla]

This was one of the billboards for Deadpool when it came out. Tricked a lot of girls in to seeing it. Maybe Tommy can do something similar to hide what the boxes really are from the other halves bahaha

Totally get it. I did a reshipping earlier this year, about 25 boxes. And I covered the boxes in poker/casino stickers just for fun. Most people got a kick out of it when they arrived, but your same thought went through my head shortly after I mailed them, maybe I was putting a target on the boxes for potential chip thieves. All packages arrived safely, but probably wouldn't do it again.
