A year later, and here I am again looking at your post. Still amazed. Take pictures with your dad playing with the set, and if you have kids, with them too. Pass the love on! Don't let this set go to ePay or g0000twill when you're "done playing".

Welcome @JConFire , oh boy... yourvery own Ben book right off the break! My journey collecting old Trump AC chips! "The golden years of AC... or so they say" I think many of us started our "casino" playing journey in the Taj and Trop (for me circa 2003) we were playing in several home games at...

I'm currently drunk, but I straight up LOVE this post. It's everything chip collecting should be in my opinion. My wife didn't really appreciate it, but every chip I have had a great story behind it!

I found this response disturbing. I thought you were trolling me, but it sounded strangely "correct". So I used my friend "Search". As first posted here by @ReallyGoodUsername: Pulled from here: https://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/showthread.php?14098-The-Demise-of-the-Snapper "1.) Years ago...

Wow, this is one of my fave inlays / themses I've seen for a while. Is your wife able to take on other design projects, out of interest @OfficerLovejoy?

Introduction: Hi my name is Clemens, I’m 20 years old and I’m currently studying in Mannheim. I played regularly with my friends at the weekends and wanted to host a game myself but I did not have any chips. Sadly I did not like the metal insert sluggos (as they are referred to around here )...

Cool stories. I have a couple of vet friends that play. I need to ask them if there are any games like this nearby. I'm old enough to fit in with this crowd. One question, there's something I'm not understanding in the hand I bolded above. If you have AQs and 3 more spades come out, why are...

to add to the question of why the name "snapper" is given. the term comes from the fact that it's the sound the chip makes while the dealer slaps the 2.50 cheque (read: chip) onto the top of the stack for payout that @arch3r just described here. Try the "SEARCH" feature once in awhile, gents...

So 50c is your small blind, and you're playing a dollar game (50c/$1). I hosted a dollar game for years with a Paulson FunNite set and the following breakdown: 20 50c chips 160 $1 chips 160 $5 chips 160 $25 chips 500 chip set. We never got very deep into the greens, even on big nights. It...

There was a similar discussion on this recently: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/is-it-common-knowledge-that-a-2-50-chip-snapper.9864/ This is the only other relevant link I've found in a quick Google search, but it doesn't mention why it's called by that name...

I don't know the answer to your question, but I had to look it up a couple of weeks ago. I've heard the term snapper for a while now since I've been frequenting CT, but haven't bothered to know it's meaning until recently. Now I've been wondering why they're called snappers. I've been assuming...

The $2.50 chip was originally created for blackjack for the 3/2 payoff on a $5 bet. When you hit a blackjack, it's called a "natural" or "snapper" and the dealer has to pay you $7.5 on a $5 bet (3/2). So this created a need for a $2.5 chip. Henceforth that chip is sometimes known as the...

I don't know anything about gaming regulations, but this whole concept of "the inlays aren't supposed to match" doesn't make any sense to me. From a gaming regulation standpoint, what's going on seems nonsensical, but from a color-management standpoint -- which I can almost guarantee the average...
