How many chips do you own? (1 Viewer)

[TheChipVault]

25k to 100k+ at any given time.

Probably sold 35-40k over the past 5 years. Down to 20-25k I figure. Mostly customs and a couple meaningful sets left. Nothing too valuable. Still too many for the minimal games I host (despite the setup)

I guess it's time to let something go. My passion for hoarding has reached the point where I can't even count how many chips I have (the same goes for my watch collection, actually). But it's around 10,000+ in various sets. I have my favorites that I'd love to use more often, but I’ve run into a problem—my relatives keep asking for a specific set, and we end up playing with that one more than the others. And some sets have never even touched felt, since they were bought on a whim and I later didn’t know how to put them to use...

It’s a dreamy space!

It's not just a great space, the players are awesome. A good mix of social, fun guys and serious players. Glad I keep getting invited back.

Hmmm, once 2 projects come together in the next 6-9 months I expect to be basically done building out except for slowly working at HU racks which only adds 100 chips at a time. At that point I can't wait to do my one and only family photo out on the table. Getting custom felt between now and then is also the plan. When I get there, will be just over 10k I think.

Can a barrington hold 6k clay chips lol?

3 1000pc sets: BCC Nevada Jacks cash
1 1000pc: ASM tourney
1 1200pc: CPC cash
1 1000pc: ASM hot stamp cash
1 1000pc: BCC hot stamp cash
1 1200pc: Burt hot stamp cash
1 800pc: Burt hot stamp cash (travel)
1 600pc: BCC hot stamp cash (travel)
1 400pc: BCC hot stamp cash (heads-up)

I did not realize this was my current total.

11 sets that look to be at right about 10k.

~But~ 8 of those sets were purchased over 5 years ago, so *technically* they don't even count...

UPDATE:

I got memo from the folks down in legal, and they indicate that there is novel defence strategy for the question at hand.

They theorize that the grand majority of new-to-mid duration forum members *and* the ultra long duration members might get behind this defense. Should be enough to get me over the 50% forum support line.

Here it is:

"Only 2 of the 11 sets have factory inlays. The hot-stamp sets simply don't count."

We're going with that...

So after joining 8 months ago with zero chips to my name I find myself looking at 4400 chips.
Not sure how I arrived at this point but finding Justin’s Tina’s and some nice sets from other members has made things too easy.
The anticipation of a heavy box arriving from the other side of the world has a strange and exciting appeal.

FWIW, we joined about the same time. I sold my Tina’s, China Clays, etc so all I have left are Paulson’s. One set of Jacks Detroits (will likely sell at some point) otherwise, all THC molds. I haven’t counted an extra number. But, going through my sets in my head, I own around 15k total. I host a min of once a week, but even still…if we rotate cash sets every single week, a player will have to come play for 9 weeks straight to see the same set twice, in theory. I am down to one MTT set, from 4, which is good. We rarely play tournaments, so the argument for zero MTT sets is valid. Could easily play a tournament with one of my larger cash sets, if so desired, after all. For me, I don’t care. It’s fun. I keeps me from doing even dumber shit, which I’m prone to doing. Can I recoup all my money if I sell, no. But, a fair amount. Am I likely to sell…also no. lol But, none of it is effecting my family or our finances. I say enjoy, unless it’s getting you into trouble.
