Maybe 14k, not winning here on quantity by any means.

Well in 8 years you'll be close to Larry (@pltrgyst ).This place is gross. I have around 3600.
Edit : just realized I'm averaging 1,000 chips a month?

Seriously lol’d.
This was funny...because from all accounts it’s true.
I’m at ~2500 now, and prolly will between that and 5000 for the most part. Many years back in the CT days there was a time that I was flirting with 20,000

Only if I win the lotto and stick with poker that long lol. I'm too much of a serial hobby enthusiast to have 200-300k tied up in poker chips, I'd rather have a paid off house and some land.
I'm at about 24k, split pretty evenly between Chipco and clay. Drop in the bucket compared to many of you nutbags.

I’m in the quality over quantity camp, but I have somewhere north of 15K and south of 20K.

Tie!
But I think I've probably got you beat regarding chip turnover....
I'm sure nobody beats Larry @pltrgyst (he don't even know how many he got
I have:
1. More than I need.
2. More than good sense would dictate.
3. More than I can easily count.
4. Fewer than the threshold whereupon my wife files for divorce.
My best guesstimate is that the StarChips pushed me over 120K, and somehow S/MFRBs keep arriving.
2019 will bring a significant reduction (famous last words), but it seems that all I have that anyone wants is a rack of Highway 9 hundos...

Information on the forum is like a double edge sword. Enlightenment has its price, shuffling TRKs has given me a void that feels unattainableSounds like the “support group” is working, @yone

I did warn you not to get TRKs to see if you liked them.Information on the forum is like a double edge sword. Enlightenment has its price, shuffling TRKs has given me a void that feels unattainable
The result is always that people like them.
So I guess on a board of collectors theres always going to be these dick wagging threads.
How many? Enough that most of my family considers me a hoarder. I love big sets, I have one set that is closing in on the 10K range.
But who's counting, obviously I'm not (I do but I try not to look at that figure and don't update the spreadsheet as much as I used to). I'd say if I was to put an estimate on it, I'm somewhere between 0 and Larry.

You should contact paypal, I think it keeps accidentally paying people for premium chips.
You’re the one that put that seed in my head! “There’s nothing like mint TRKs”. Oh, I remember those words very clearly
I used to be ashamed to admit I had over 20,000 chips ( Like I had some kind of problem) but around here that's small potatoes. Now I feel like I have a pencil dick.
I'm only at around 25k.
All four of the above are also accurate for me.
BTW when you start cleaning house, I have dibs on the yellow Casablanca $1s. Just sayin'

On the chip-count subject... do any of you guys use birdcage/case log sheets to update/correlate-with your spreadsheets?
What I mean is, I know a lot of us use spreadsheets to keep track of our set counts, breakdowns, etc. But do you also have a "local" logsheet in each case, to keep track of what is in each respective birdcage/case?
I feel like my spreadsheet is good for having a solid overall picture of the collection, but I always feel a bit frustrated not knowing what is exactly in each separate storage container. Curious to know how others address this.

Holy cow, Larry! I had no idea you have such an extensive collection. Sounds like you need to host a game so I can peruse what you have and start making a list of "wants" (y) :thumbsup:I have:

2. More than good sense would dictate.
3. More than I can easily count.

Sssshhhhhh! I’m into quantity, not quality.
I am at roughly 3600, and the main guarantee of keeping the number tame is the lack of storage room. The story of addicted people shows that an empty wallet is no real constraint. They can always beg, steal, go hungry and disregard any other obligation
Before joining this forum I never imagined I would spend 4K on anything else than a set of badly needed new shock absorbers which now have to wait
5 playable sets, of which 3 cash and 2 tourney. Yes, including the travel set of 400 d* chips.

I think I win the booby prize at 2100 chips!
1000 pc Majestic tourney set and 1000 pc Milano cash set with some extras.
I am pretty sure this might be the smallest collection posted here. Not by choice though!

No and Ive had numerous frustrating events of trying to find something I know I own but can’t lay hands on it. Having a spreadsheet count does not equate to being organized. Hunting through a stack of plain white chip boxes can get annoying but occasionally does lead to some happy surprises.
no, I want the spotted birds so I can cull out some of the non birds!I have:
1. More than I need.
2. More than good sense would dictate.
3. More than I can easily count.
