Much better thread….how many trade bait chips do you own.

Or how many chips do you own that have never seen play.

I’m far more impressed by those numbers than total accumulated. Despite liking many of the folks personally who have a ton of chips, I literally feel bad when they dibs chips I’m selling because I know they’re never seeing the light of day again.
 
All my sets have seen play. I only have loose straggler racks I'm trying to finish or just haven't put into play yet. I'm guessing around 1000-1200 chips haven't been put into play by me maybe? That number of course says chips that are part of a set are considered in play even if I didn't get all of them in play.

There's at least a couple times each year where I kick myself for not having trade bait/extra racks on hand to help facilitate trades. That said, I just can't seem to justify keeping random racks in my collection if I'm not intending on using them in a set. As it is, every complete set I own sees play, or it gets sold.

You underestimated your collection by 6000 chips?
Was this a survival reaction?

Well in my case that's better. I have two three tourney sets and three cash sets which all have seen action the last year - except the 3rd tourney set I had forgotten.

Then I have some chips where I've replaced a denom, so I have a retarded amount of 25s that I've replaced as it is my 5/10 work horse. But I even used them once for a night of FL circus game so it's not too bad...

Down to 3900 chips in 4 playable sets, plus an extraneous rack or two... Boy it's hard to downsize. At the very least they've all been felted at some point.

Interesting. I wonder how many people, if any, have ever downsized from 10k+ chips to ~2 playable sets (~1k-2k chips?)

I've only sold 1400ish chips so far (hopefully soon to be 1900...), and I don't think I ever had more than 5k at once... Really what's keeping the numbers up are my unnecessarily large limit set (2000) and 5c/10c to 1/2 set (1000). Realistically both could be half the size. 2k chips seems like plenty for single table home games in 90% of configurations.

My guess would be no one still active on this forum haha.
 
NOT ENOUGH PRON PEOPLE!!!
Teddy is reaching his maximum usable space so I might have to sell some Pharaohs to make room for a NEW set...shhh don't tell anyone @sethwanab!

Soooo....about those Empress Star cash chippies down thar on the second shelf! :cool

In all seriousness, i need to take some pics. Things have changed pretty dramatically. And my old pics suck... so there's that. :rolleyes:
 
Well if youre gonna make me to do a full count I might run a contest among Bay Area locals. Price is right style — closest to count without going over. And there will be a prize for the winner.
 
I was just analyzing my shelving situation for this very reason. I stopped counting at 15k. It’s over 15k of clay, almost all THC molds. 900 RHCs in a DJ set. A few thousand ceramics and another few thousand Tina’s, but they’ll never move from the bottom shelves.
