LouBdub's Hot Rod Set (1 Viewer)

[bernielomax]

@louBdub Have you ever found the history of the Winners Club, Royal Flush and Jack of Diamonds chips all being nearly identical? I have some and I have always wondered.

Man, your set looks so clean compared to mine!! lol... I will be washing and posting my set sometime after the new year. Anyone with OCD better look out! I feel like my set will drive people insane compared to yours! Looking awesome!!!

 

[louBdub]

One of my favorite sets on the whole forum. Keep up the good work!

Thanks bromigo!

Dude, you get it haha. It’s a ton of work, but an absolute blast building it.

@bernielomax I actually have no idea, but my suspicion is either someone was lazy on design, and said gimme one of those outta the pamphlet OR there was a buyout and they just did a reorder and changed the stamps?

 

[louBdub]

All I’m saying is…..

The HotRod set awaits the single addition of these chips. @kk405 @JeepologyOffroad I trust this can happen. They plug right in

 

[louBdub]

The special rack is almost finished…………..

MYAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Bored.

Deciding on decisions to decipher the direction of degeneracy.

 

[bernielomax]

What decisions are you considering?

Also, I saw this one out there in an eBay lot. I can PM you the link if you want.

 

[louBdub]

@bernielomax yes please

And I’m just deciding on keeping the red $10s or changing them up.

 

[bernielomax]

I kinda see what your saying about the $10's. A solid in the middle of spotted. What about selling those off and going after more yellow $5's and green $25's?

 

[mitch3r]

those tiger palace are fire

 

[louBdub]

those tiger palace are fire

Yeah, tell those foolio’s @kk405 & @JeepologyOffroad to stop playin with me about it!!!

 

[louBdub]

Today…. I did something very special in chippery….

To some it may seem silly, but to a few who understand…. Duuuuuude.

Today, I completed…. TWO FULL RACKS of California $5 leaded hot stamps!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe it. The amount of hours involved was ridiculous. But it is done…….

Behold!

 

[louBdub]

Not really sure where to go from here……..

With the Skeletor rack coming, I’m not sure I’ll keep the red $10s…

PCF opinions?

 

[RocAFella1]

Dump the $10s if you don’t need them. Not a fan of solids after those spotted yellows.

Yeah, I think I might. I just need to find another $10 rack, because I love 10s

 

[aggie]

Two more racks of fives.

 

[louBdub]

Two more racks of fives.

I mean……

You’re not wrong.

But….

 

[FDLmold]

Another vote for axing the solid red $10s.

Very nice work on the RACKS of hot stamp yellow rat rod Cali leaded THC yellow $5s. Until you've tried it, you just don't know the time and expense required!

Oh I know you know…

It’s substantial, silly, stupid, painful, and egregious on my wallet…..

But WORTH IT (if you’re a degen)

 

[bernielomax]

Are your Skeletor chips becoming fracs? Also, where did you find blank solids to hotstamp?

Yup yup, I’ll play them as a 25c rack.

I got them from @kaimat and the overstamp is from @Josh Kifer

Maybe hunt for new singles, assuming there are some, to increase the diversity within each denom?

I hope you don’t mind me quoting you @ekricket

This was absolutely poetic and hit me just right…….. It lands exactly in the RatRod vibe too…….

….looking for pieces of history, mementos of an era past that were not common, things that were unique, hard to find, that required patience and perseverance to realize.

I came for the chaos of sets scattered to the winds by uncaring individuals, to reach into that chaos and pull something coherent out of it.

I didn’t come to order stuff out of a catalog or simply make my budget known and have items magically paraded before me for the dollars.

I came to hunt the pieces, to build order out of disorder, hopefully beautiful creations that serve a purpose as well as honor their history.

You may think this is bullshit, but you don’t know me. If you did you maybe wouldn’t generalize as much as you do to justify your position.

There are others like me in this respect. Maybe not as vocal, but the same thing drives them.

 

[louBdub]

I’m bored.

So, quick family photo update……

But…. Pending 2 more racks…….

 

[louBdub]

Just out here adding wild chips!

LION PALACE!!!!!!

 

[louBdub]

@aggie this is your fault…. “Make another rack” he says…. “This is the way” he says…

Well, fine…. Here we go, rack 3 is coming….

Welcome home chippies!

 

[aggie]

Don’t drag me into this. I was just being a smart ass.








But now that you started you kind of need to finish. Good luck!
