Custom Samples Galore, Here We Go! (1 Viewer)

[BarrieJ3]

Right sizing the collection.

Approaching the final throes, removing and adding to hopefully finalize the collection as much as possible as we’ve settled in and the card room is ready to go.

Going through and documenting/photographing to update the collection, while pulling out all duplicates.

This is 1/2 of what needs to be gone through and photographed.

Prepare yourself, as Barrie Rightsize Sales and Wanted Ads or Sample Trades will be errywhere.

Counting from the top, 5 rows down, counting from the right then chip 75 is my favorite

If you'd like I could share my spreadsheet template that I use to catalog chips... a bit nerdy, but boy it makes looking things up easy.

Chip info, mold, material, manufacturer... and about 20 other columns that while tedious to input new chips into, results in knowing exactly what I've got!

For sure feel free to shoot over!

This is somewhat easy though since just CPC and some Paulson.

King of samples!

This is a slow, painful process. There’s no way chippers enjoy this part and photos and finding the price they paid and listing.

Someone take it all in exchange for 2 Costco Rotisserie Chickens, 4 tickets to Disney on Ice, and a blu ray box edition of The Lord of the Rings or Home Improvement.

Love the ladder as chip shelving unit!

Love the ladder as chip shelving unit!

I didn’t even see that That’s the problem, they’re covering every surface each time I try to do this.

Definitely getting through it this weekend 100%.

I can feel the warmth of the candles on the retirement birthday cake already

Sadly these are the only customs from the incoming chips, thought it was more customs heavy but still a nice addition and I’ll through pulling dupes.

Meanwhile, here’s the bigger chunk of chips for incoming sales.

Some good stuff mixed in.

I’m not quite sure which of these is worse.

1. That I’m not even remotely close to done.

2. That this isn’t even a top 10 custom set collection.

3. That I’m not even a custom chips guy - I’ve never owned a set of custom chips nor will I ever make em. I just like the dopamine hit of winning auctions and things in the mail.

We move again in the next 3 years, and these are either staying with the house or someone’s getting a nice package(s) in the mail.

I would pick up those empress star chips if you end up selling them separately. Been looking to get a sample set.

I'll TRY not to be offended.

I'll TRY not to be offended.

Not in terms of content, simply in terms of size.

Also, when you attending a meetup….

I envision a wall mosaic of your favorite theme (Bond, Harry Potter, Wild Horses, Unicorns, etc.) made out of chips. I am now trying to work through how to "mount" them without gluing them. Have fun!
