Howdy PCF!

The purpose of this thread is is to identify custom chip sets, made by individual PCF members, for nomination into the 2026 PCF Hall of Fame.

For eligibility, a set must have been revealed here on PCF between January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2024 (those who list a set that was revealed past the aforementioned date above are subject to be shamed in the form of gifs). In addition, an "expired" set (i.e. revealed before January 1, 2021) can be put up for a legacy vote (to potentially 'fix past omissions'). Therefore, if there is an older set that has not received consideration before that you feel the committee should considering including, please post about it here.

Any and all PCF members, new and old alike, are more than welcome to stump for a set. Pictures with links to the original reveal threads are highly encouraged, as some people do not keep tabs on all of the set that have recently been created, not to mention the one-year 'cooling off' period making them that much more removed. In addition, insights as to why you think a certain set is worthy of consideration is also welcomed. The HoF will take this thread and opinions presented into consideration when determining the list of sets that will be put up for the HoF voting towards the end of the year.

While we mostly encourage members to stump for sets that are not of their own creation, members are allowed to post their own sets here for visibility, as well as to help give the committee a comprehensive look at PCF creations eligible for this year's Hall of Fame.

In case you do not remember whether or not a set has made it into the Hall of Fame yet, all previously enshrined sets are posted in the this link -> https://www.pokerchipforum.com/resources/categories/poker-chip-hall-of-fame.6/.

I intend to have it run for roughly one month before closing up so we can move along to the next part. Feel free to bump if you notice the thread losing traction.

Thanks for stopping by and contributing in a meaningful way to PCF.

Now, get to stumpin'!

I will stump for @Darson's "Kuhan's Game" (link) chip set, which was revealed sometime in 2022. I got to play with this set within the past year, and let me tell you, few things are sexier than playing with stacks of Blurple $1s.

Sorry, but just to be clear, they need to have been revealed before 12/31/2024? Or 2025?
 
I’ll stump for @SteveEH Club 72.

This picture is the first PCF CPC set I saved in my personal pr0n folder when I started day dreaming about my own CPC concept and trying to think what I’d like in my own set:

I think ‘simple’ is the wrong word to describe it, however I really like that the design isn’t overly busy (and I usually prefer lots of complexity in edge spots) and it has a really refined inlay:

It’s also refreshing to see a ‘practical’ small stakes set that isn’t sized up to include racks of $25/$100 and a $500 denom for friendly home cash games.

Anyone who has played with @Josh Kifer s Rainbow set understands how beautiful it is. Perfect from top to bottom, and while employing a traditional Vegas color scheme, every chip plays with those colors while also coordinating on the felt perfectly. The copper metallic stamp is just out of this world.

I'm sure I have lots of company in the fact that I'd stab someone to get into the auction that's never coming. I think a Hall of Famer has to incite the possibility of crime.

I played with these too. Love the feel of Kifer-stamps. Don't love how I didn't get a brown chip. You holding out on me Potato Guy? This some bullshit.

Pineapple Beach Hotel & Casino (PBHC)


Classic Poker Chips:
Cash and Tournament Set
Original reveal link: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/pineapple-beach-hotel-casino.123188/



I would like to nominate my Pineapple Beach Hotel and Casino set for consideration for the 2026 PCF Hall of Fame.

PBHC is a custom casino concept consisting of both a cash set and a matching tournament set, designed together as a cohesive system. The goal was to create a set that feels like a complete property that could exist on Maui, with a consistent identity across all denominations that honors the island’s vibrant beauty and culture.

Design Inspiration

The concept for PBHC was developed during a family trip to Maui in July 2023. The set draws directly from the visual and sensory elements of the island. Much of the design process took place while sitting on the beach, experimenting with colors and combinations in the CPC tool.
  • Ocean tones and shifting blues
  • Tropical vegetation and vibrant florals
  • Lava rock and dark volcanic earth
  • Sunsets over Black Rock Beach
  • Shaved ice desserts and bright island color palettes
The intention was to create a tropical set that feels upscale and intentional. The target aesthetic was less novelty resort and more refined destination. Something that could exist as a luxury property with personality.

Identity and Mold Integration

One of the most important design decisions was aligning the identity of the set with the molds themselves.

The crown on the pineapple logo was intentionally designed to visually echo the crown found on both the Small Crown and Large Crown molds. This connection helped unify the inlay and the physical chip in a subtle but meaningful way. The result is a design where the artwork does not sit on top of the chip, but instead feels integrated into it.

It is also not lost on me that both the Small Crown and Large Crown molds carry deep historical significance within the chip community. Being able to use these legacy molds as the foundation for a set that expresses something vibrant, modern, and luxurious was an honor. PBHC is, in many ways, a bridge between eras. Classic mold heritage paired with a contemporary, expressive design language.

Cash Set

5¢ through $1,000
CPC Small Crown Mold

The cash set was designed first and served as the foundation for the entire project.

A few notable choices:
  • The $1 and $100 chips served as anchor pieces in the lineup
  • The $20 chip evolved the most during the design process and ultimately landed on a black base inspired by the lava rock at Black Rock Beach, paired with blue and pink tones reflecting sunset light
  • The $100 white chip uses blue, purple, and pink tones inspired by shaved ice, creating a bright but balanced presence
  • Earth tones, florals, and vegetation are represented throughout the lineup to maintain a natural connection to the island inspiration

Higher denominations such as $500 and $1,000 were included to complete the visual arc and round out the set.

Tournament Set


T100 through T25,000
CPC Large Crown Mold

The tournament set was designed as a complementary extension of the cash set. The goal was to introduce more structure while maintaining the overall identity.

  • Spot pattern selected: 3D14 for consistency, balance, and clarity across the full progression
  • Intentional color progression with increasing visual intensity as denominations rise
  • The T5000 chip leans into a deeper maroon and red palette inspired by flowing lava, adding contrast and weight to the upper tier
The tournament set was designed to feel like a natural extension of the PBHC property rather than a separate concept.

Full System

When viewed together, the cash and tournament sets form a complete environment.

This was always the goal. Not just a set of chips, but a cohesive casino system that reflects a singular identity across all formats of play.



Acknowledgments

This project represents my first custom set and my entry into the PCF community. It would not have been possible without the inspiration and support found here.

Special thanks to:
@Colquhoun for inlay design execution and creative direction
@David Spragg for craftsmanship and guidance throughout the process

@Irish for the CPC loaner service, which made it possible to evaluate chip colors and combinations in person




Final Thoughts

PBHC was designed to be vibrant, playable, and cohesive, while still feeling intentional and complete. It is deeply personal to my experience in Maui, but also intended to be broadly appealing as a fully realized casino concept.


I am honored to submit it for consideration.
 
Shameless plug for my beloved NUTS tournament CPC set. 2000 chips w/ 3D14 primaries and 6A14 secondaries on the CSQ mold, custom plaques, custom bounties, purdy all-in chips, and a sweet custom box. And each chip has a different tree bark pattern on the inlay.

To better display the different tree bark patterns on each inlay. It's probably my favorite part about this chip set. It works so well with the theme.

Do you mix both spot patterns together?
Of course. With the color combinations being the same, it doesn't cause any issues. I had trouble deciding between the 3D14 and 6A14 edge spots on my initial order, so I'm very happy with half of the set being one edge spot pattern and the other half being another.
