A couple of awesome arrivals in the post this morning.

Only 2x $1s and 10x $5s away now from filling a full rack of both!

The tracking changed from "arrived at post office 6am & preparing" to "11am number not found".
I went to the post office and have them look as to why, and found it was already tagged "address doesn't exist: return to sender"
because they put my home street address on the 1st line, followed by my POB town and zip code from the billing address

Wow looks like they did a number on it. Doesn't look like they damaged it.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. The 1000 chip tray was finished with Walrus Oil Furniture Butter. If becomes dry or dull looking you can just simply reapply the same or any cutting board oil. Just make sure to follow the directions and allow plenty of drying time.

Yes, these trays can be made in any wood/ hardware of your choice. Zebra wood is one the most expense woods out there.

Thanks Again

You would think there would be a red flag when the label was made.
Or that they would ID me when I asked for that tracking number.
At least I caught it before it went back and got totally trashed.

Holds barrels of mint Paulsons better than 66.7mm racks (43 or 39mm chips)

(handles lock in place out or up; going to look into replacing with bronze or antique brass)

This is very nice, is this a custom made one ? Do the chips fit tight?

Not custom, but custom available.

They fit better than 66.7 racks. Do not budge at all.

Just messaged you on Etsty and here.
Sending more detailed pics.

Now this is a rack of fracs I can get behind. Thanks to the multiple people who helped make this a reality.

I always wanted to know what would happen if you ship an old wood case in only bubble wrap…welp I found out.

Only a little banged up. Nothing some wood glue won’t fix.

Cool little case. Bought it more for the case than the chips.

Oh and some super dumb dragon chips and some ok racks that only fit 19 chips.

First time for me where I get a cool sample set and think "DAMN THIS IS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON."

I am lucky that my crew has absolutely zero interest in tourneys, because otherwise I'd be buying @doughboy63 's set (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/aurora-star-stt-set.139444/#post-2836955).

If you're on the fence, let me live vicariously - do it. These are so cool.

They look really great as a display piece

Thank you! @Tommy

The first of the mail for 2026 has arrived!

I have a few other New Frontier chips in the collection already, but have been missing this particular one for way too long. A well timed eBay auction and win helps fill that gap.

Okay after 3+ years of your mail posts I gotta ask, what exactly am I looking at behind the chip? I can't figure out the numbers. Is it a clock in 24hour time?

Its a nixie clock. And it's in 24-hour time (military time). Nixie clocks are awesome, and I would love to get one, some
day.
The clock reads 5:35 pm and 50 seconds.


Fun fact: in 24 hour time, you don't need "am" or "pm." Any time 12:00 and over is automatically "pm"

Exactly. Specifically, its a clock that uses Nixie tubes for the display. Early analog means of displaying numerals before LCD displays.

Wow! What are the recipient chip for the $5 labels? I don't recognize the spots on those, but really like them.

I'll get greedy here, pics of the whole set??

Here's a new set of custom ceramics I got from BP Pro Poker. I also got some bounty chips and some seat choice chips. It was a 4 month process to get everything just right.

I know there's a white and a blue for the 25s, but it's a longer story. Short story is we usually play in dim lighting and there wasn't enough distinction between the blue 25 and black 100. I recently got white 25s to replace the blue ones. On that, I'm selling the blue ones if anyone would be interested. Longer story at the link.

But in general, they look fantastic and we're really enjoying using them.

Thanks booyah!

Haven't posted in here for a while. Dealing with some stuff at the moment so behind (these are some highlights from last week from my reshipper).

Finally done with my Jack Cincinnati set!!

For anyone curious, this is a nearly five year project finally completed. If anything in chipping ever deserves a "HUGE", this is it. Congrats!

Wasn’t sure if that 4th barrel of hundos would ever be found to complete the last Elsinore rack
