Couple sample sets from the last week or so…

Took awhile but my Star chips arrived yesterday from @Okku.

A few people messaged me wondering what the heck I bought them for. I got them for the game Left Right Center.

Each player gets 3 chips to start and follows what the dice say on their roll. Keep. Pass right. Pass Left. Put in Center. Putting chips in the Center is what eventually ends the game. The last person with any chips remaining wins.

This is a fun game to start a night off with. Have everyone throw $5 in the middle and winner takes all. It's a quick game that gets the gambool juices flowing.

Oh boy! Dreams do come true

I cannot thank @JMC9389 enough for finding this unicorn and snagging one for me as well. I finally have a GRIMAUD setup!!

I also appreciate the Ironbound Lounge VIP chip that I’ll use as my card capper in the next game I play in

My setup journey is now fully complete!

Fantastic. 3D14 supremacy.

 

[DrunkleWade]

October thru February purchases arrived today via the one and only @TheOffalo. Maybe it's the delayed delivery that builds the anticipation but God, I love mail day so hard!

I know we're already working on the next box.

Many thanks to;

@justincarothers,
@JWC,
@doughboy63,
@Timmah,
@TheChipVault,
@ReallyGoodUsername,
@sleepypiggly, and of course
@TheOffalo himself.

Thank you @pocketJs for the bullet proof packaging and quick shipment. One barrel away from completing my set!

I once won a raffle for a set of 900 of these from TheChipVault. Wish I would have kept it - great set!

Thanks @TheLemursReturn for designing and @BR Pro Poker for making these. Their service was fantastic. My son is seven and loves Monopoly, and he loved playing with poker chips instead of the paper bills immediately - we haven't played with the bills since. Best part is, he told me that it didn't make much sense to have a 5, a 10, a 20, a 50, and a 100, and that we should do 1-5-25-100-500. I nearly shed a tear.

Dumb chips but a cool case.

Forget Rio WSOPs, have you seen the price of ACFs lately??

Think I'll just go the "tribute" route too...

Hey now! Cant judge me on being a bit irresponsible with my chip purchases! lol

@doublebooyah85 is a bad influence and a total enabler too!

Nice mail day ……. Thanks @Jp74. Also, thanks for the awesome packaging! For you newer folks, the proper way to ship a rack of chips:

1. Individually wrap barrels inside a warneke box. So if by chance the box opens the chips stay together. Check!
2. Close warneke box with painters tape (not packing tape) so the tape does not destroy the box. Check!
3. Place warneke box inside a small flat rate box for added protection. Check!
4. Place box inside 3 bubble wrap envelopes. Check!
5. Tape the sh&t out of the envelope. Check!

Pro level packaging! Nicely done.

 

[WedgeRock]

@Jp74... This man chips.

Love how you put the 5K on the red rather than the orange, I actually regret not doing that now. And I see we did the same edgespots on the 1Ks.

 

[GreatWhiteDope]

We don't judge you. We admire and envy you!!!

 

[BPTDirector]

A select few can taste the sweet nectars of ultra premium sets. I am envious but am content just looking from the stands with the rest of the commoners.

Okay, if you got the inlays off in 30 minutes, I need a tutorial on how to do that. I am incredibly impressed! I have only occasionally tried to scrape original labels out on a few chips with it taking great effort and questionable results. So can you share your methodology or point me to a post, that I am sure exists somewhere in the bowels of the PCF site on the best way to murder chips.?

I should clarify, that was just for 1 barrel. So 30 minutes for 20 chips.

Still impressed. I am pretty sure I have spent 30 minutes on a single chip at some point. LOL

Luckily these have vinyl inlays so not too hard, I can definitely see paper inlays taking that long since I also have no idea what I'm doing.

If you'd still like to see how I remove them I can DM you so I don't clutter up the thread.
