Only the chocolate ones. It can get messy...

Melt in your airtight, not in your hand

Welcome back @Windwalker

(tell your homie Garrett he needs to do the same)

I hope Garrett comes back. He just did a long interview with Doug Polk. Sounds like with a baby on the way, he’s in no rush to come back. But that he’ll probably play on streams again eventually at some point.

Baby just arrived today so he's gonna be a bit busy for a very long time.

I think the hobby has became a collectors hobby.

Will it crash who knows? I don’t think so. In 20 years I’ll probably be pissed bc I felted everything and there will probably become a grading company and anyone with mint racks will have a fortune.

Or not…lol But poker itself isn’t going anywhere and clay chips seem to be.

A lot of the collectable hobbies that are popular now are geared toward the nerdy stuff, comics, Pokemon, Funko Pops and maybe not exactly nerdy, sports cards and others. There are a ton of YouTube channels critiquing them all and declaring them an investment with an ongoing future drawing in tons of people. All and others like them were/are created to be collected, and therefore are subject to overproduction and running the risk of becoming in one shape or form the next beanie babies.

I think a huge difference with collecting casino chips is it was never intended to be collected, they are a tool in a business. Casino used chips even with what very little exposure it gets in the mainstream will almost never meet demand. If this hobby ever really gets on the mainstream radar or worse, Paulson style manufactured chips are replaced with cheaper Cromwell or recent Palms casino chip crap prices will really skyrocket out of control.

There is truth here. There is a sports card company that took common used obsolete casino chips, slabbed them, and put them randomly in packs of cards. At first, a $5 or $10 chip in a slab would sell for over $100. I haven’t checked lately but I think the price was trending down.

If there’s one topic that could unify all of us, PCFers, ChipBoarders, me, you, them - it’s probably slabbing.

ultimately I was willing to pay silly amounts for custom chips for my happiness at my home game that I’ll never sell. I enjoy poker and hosting that much.

+1

this is why I chip. This right here! ^^^This, and this alone. This is what the non-chippers will never be able to relate to…

Can’t wait to get a game going again!
