2020 Twelve Days Of Christmas Giveaways (1 Viewer)

I think this year I want to thank
@Josh Kifer for doing me a solid on a deal I otherwise wouldn't have been able to score.
@flipupchipup for being so patient and generous during our dealings.
@Thomacetti for some awesome dimes I never would have owned unless I made them myself
And @kaimat for also helping me out with some things.

@Lil Tuna and @Seeking Alpha Social Club for being hilarious friends and wonderful hosts.
@toynoob @Marhault @Louisiana hold em and @Beakertwang for a fun meet up this year!

@Ben8257 for putting up with my ridiculous ass lol
 
There's too many people to thank and be thankful for here. Thank you to everyone that made my chipping dreams come true this year. You all know who you are.

If I have to tag a single person for the giveaway, I'll go with @Joe Harris and another benefactor that wishes not to be credited publically with helping me build a personal grail cash and tournament set of mine of certain hybrid chips that are tributes to a certain casino close to me that are never going to be made again due to copyright infringement and subsequent aggressive litigation on the part of their legal team. Thanks a bunch guys. I never thought I'd get my hands on both cash and tournament sets. Paulson's and clay chips in general may be the nuts but this set is near and dear and close to my heart and the hearts of my regular players.
 
Way too many good people on this forum , it almost hurts to single one person out.

@PAZ though, stands out. From way back on the blue wall, he was a person that helped out new and old members alike. To such a degree, that years back, I had to reach out to him and see if everything was ok. The amount of generosity he was showing actually had me fearful that he wasn't long for this world. Thankfully that wasn't the case. He's just an incredibly good human being.
 
Your name stays on the list for another year. That’s the rules :LOL: :laugh:

seeing as I’m here I’ll thank @Saoliver for having the same crappy sense of humour as me and also @BGinGA and @pltrgyst neither of whom I have met nor know what they look like but I like the way they get tore in and I like to think of them hanging out together like this...

It's a reasonable likeness. Larry's the tall one.
 
Man... what a crazy year chipping it has been. I have far too many to thank, some have brought me to tears from their generosity and kindness. I am going to nominate 10! I won last year and will give up my spot for these fine members!

1) @bluesman250 what you did for me recently I can't really share but I am almost positive it was the most kind gesture possibly ever on PCF! I will never forget it, and you deserve to win ever give away and I would donate an organ to save you or a family member if I could!!

2) @Ronoh not only last year did you send me a one of a kind sample of my absolute favorite chips ever the Pillage + Plunders... I tried to repay your with some dealer buttons, in turn you send me the most rare and amazing button ever made! The Casino Royale les Aux.. then when you herd we were co hosting a meet up you sent my dream set for us to use, someone your have never met in person a set worth thousands of dollars! Absolutely unforgettable and insanely kind!!

3) @Quicksilver-75 this one is pretty obvious, you have let me piggy back on almost ever order for the amazing things you have designed. But of course the day you offered to sell me the Silver Tounged Devils I almost died!! I couldn't believe you would let go of all that hard work and dedication. But deep down, you knew they were going to a safe home!!

4) @JeepologyOffroad dude you have been just like a brother and helped Brie and I out soo many times I can't even count anymore!! My cut cards, my custom CDIs. Chips that you wanted to trade but because you knew I was interested just sold them to me!! Thank you for everything, can't wait till we meet someday and get to play cards! The absolute perfect forum member day in and day out!! I don't think you have ever ruffled a feather or spoke a bad word about anyone!!

5) @Himewad , James... you have dedicated hours to making dealer buttons for the whole community, we designed an awesome capper together and you have been nothing but professional and extremely giving with everything you have been involved

6) @Steppenwolf this man has been on the look out and helped soo many chippers find their dream sets this year! Countless times looking out for me, holding chips (including now) that I should have said sorry man I don't have the money. Without you I would have maybe half of our massive CDI set!! Has truly been an honor getting to know you and always willing to help when I was still getting started!

7) @pacmartine ... you came on the scene guns blazing!! Haha buying up some truly amazing chips!! Every single time I have inquired about chips.. no matter what they were if you had them... even if you wanted them, you said Ben I would rather see them go to your set!! Always super kind, thank you for helping me finish our Mardi gras set and also the several other sets you have helped me with!!

8) @juankay20 well Derek... without you my dream limit set would have never happened. My Riverside frac fascination, and several other time you hit me up and said hey man... I know you are looking for these. Not because i told you I was, but because you paid attention to my posts and kept them in mind! Extremely kind of you and happy I could repay the generosity you have shown Brie and I, time and time again!!

9) @BonScot the funniest damn brother a guy could ever ask for!! No matter how bad or down you are feeling, just type bonscot in your serch and get ready for a laugh!! It has been a pleasure getting to know you Tony! Some day we will sit at the same table with a beer... they should sell the other seats because it is going to be a riot!!

10) last but always first... this guy knows how good of a friend he has been to Brie and I, we spoke for over 3 hours between 2 calls today! If I got nothing more out of PCF than this single friendship it would be a life debt! @Lil Tuna you are closer to me than my own brother! We are blood and I have your back no matter what life throws at you!! I could have never asked to meet a better person in my life! I thank you for the poker insight, inviting us into your game, endless hours of laughs! Truly one of the best guys I have ever met! Thank you for everything Matt!!

Brie and I have far too much to be thankful for in this year thanks to PCF! @Tommy you are truly amazing for keeping this amazing forum going year in and year out my friend!! The countless hours you dedicate does not ever go unappreciated sir!

I guarantee maybe 5 of you make it through this post, I know the only thing you really want for Chrismas is for me to loose my phone, learn how to say more with less words! Lmao @detroitdad and @BGinGA !! You both only have to read this last paragraph!! Thank you both for everything you do to keep the forum active also!

PCF is the best forum out there!! If you are only here for poker chips... sorry but you really are missing out!!

Fellow Chipper Ben

Oh yeah I want to thank @bsdunbar1 for building my table and shipping to Denver. First table he has ever shipped and he built a fantastic crate and found the most reasonable shipping price too. It’s a great table too!

A few I haven't seen mentioned that need to be:

@arch3r - Still the only PCFer I have ever met in person and a really nice guy.
@Marhault - He won some samples I posted earlier this year that I wasn't thrilled to sell. Said he would sell them back to me at cost if I ever wanted to. I have zero plan to do so since I know they fit better in his collection anyways, but that kind of offer tells you what kind of person he is.
@Racer96 - Went out of their way to send me a stupidly pointless and weirdly rare WSOP replica cheap ceramics sample set from Canada.


Also @Josh Kifer and @FordPickup92 but they will get nominated a million times so that doesn't matter.

I'd also like to anti-nominate @Ben8257 as a show of dominance for my bid as the best Ben on these forums.

It truly has been an honor getting to know you and Ben, and I look forward to tossing some cards and shooting some fireball. :)

Where are my million nominations! I demand 1 million!
 
@Irish for being my fellow Mets fan in suffering...until this year, that is :sneaky:

Right on brother!

This is one of my favorite threads of the year! While I can list lots and lots of folks here, this year was an especially nice Protege year, so I'll throw a shout out to my Protege brothers in arms - @Joe Harris @Thomacetti @jja412 and @JMC9389 - it's been a fun year hunting/trading these non-QC'd 1000 different version pieces of clay with you guys! :LOL: :laugh:
 
Third time I put this...I guess this is the season of compliments :tup:

@Jeevansluck sent me my first dealer button. It was an awesome act of kindness. I didn't even ask for one. He simply found out I didn't have one and just sent it without me know. Even cooler was it was a president STL and I completed my degree out there so it was simply cool all the way around.

But to make it fair ill spread some more cheer. Thank you to @FordPickup92 @Josh Kifer @shorticus @Teach42 @Jeevansluck @Pinkdan @Statesvegas @Pippa @PinDoc @Saoliver @HaRDHouSeiNC for helping with another 12 days of Christmas/PCF. They have all volunteered to help do a giveaway for one of the days.

On that note sorry @desjgn I didn't realize that the 12 days of Christmas was something you normally did so I didnt mean to compete or step on your toes. Wasnt a member last Christmas! Thanks for spreading holiday cheer. This made my day!
 
@Phish1321 for graciously letting me tag along for custom rounders $1K & $5K!

@asam2006 for his kindness when I was first starting out. Great conversation about chips/chipping and very welcoming to the forum. A fellow Indiana resident and (to date) the only PCF’er I’ve met in person.
 
@MegaTon44 for hooking me up with some sweet chips after I expressed an interest in starting a mixed Chipco set. Your kindness was paid forward. Welcome back!

@AWenger for going out of his way to get me first refusal rights for some chips that we had discussed in the past. Was not necessary, but much appreciated.

Hope one/both of you guys win something good.
 
@Sprouty for being a cool shit to talk chips with. Thanks man.

@detroitdad for just being an overall great guy to chat with (chips and life). Thanks man.

@danopoker for being a great addition to my home game (and hopefully continue once this shit is behind us). Thanks man.

@MarquetteMonkey for being a very generous dude and having some friendly conversations. Thanks man.
