You were nominated, seconded and sustained. You must have missed that club meeting. It was the day that you were pulling rope out of Audrey’s butt.
Yup. Josh's legal counsel even signed off on it.
Confession - the chipping part of this community just doesn't do it for me anymore. I respect the hell out of many custom sets, some casino sets, even a couple NAGB sets. However, I haven't bought or sold much of anything in a long time, and there really isn't any set that I would be pumped to obtain anymore. Having been chipping for 7+ years, my interest has ebbed and flowed, but this has been an extended down time.
I do, however, love the meetup component. Nothing better than spending a bunch of time with some good ass people
My view of chipper evolution
Nickel, dime, quarter on kitchen table
Light plastic chips
Sluggos
CCs

Paulson/BCC/ASM/etc
TRK
CPC Customs
Primarily meetup only
Not sure if anyone understands the feeling or has gone through a similar process.

I read the first line initially as: "the community just doesn't do it for me anymore" and was heartbroken
I can get behind the idea of collecting singles/sets occasionally wearing off. Even having nice sets can be discouraging when your regular players do not give the slightest sh*t about the chips and prefer slugged plastics to paulsons
Meetups are absolutely the best part of chipping for myself as well so far!
Hmm. I have an interesting feeling that may or may not be related. I haven’t been in a position where I can travel around to meetups. Probably I’ll get there in a couple more years - I’m looking forward to it. There actually used to be a New England meetup, but I guess that was a different generation of chippers. And for now I’m lucky to have a bunch of local PCFers - I hit their games, they hit my game, it great. But still, I’m pretty jealous of all the meetup people. And there’s always been this sense on PCF about the meetup people - sometimes they’ll even come right out and say that meetups are the real stuff of PCF. I get it. When you play with people in person, that’s where their real relationships are formed. So it’s a real thing and I can’t really blame anybody for it. But it often feels like there’s an exclusivity among the meetup people and that the rest of us are on the outside looking in. Probably just a FOMO thing.
I'm constantly looking at new potential chipsets but can justify none of them because I'm certain my monthly home game will never evolve past micro stakes, and having redundant sets feels wasteful to me. Guess I just don't have that collector gene in me. Best case scenario I think I upgrade sets once every 1~2 years and resell the previous set.

I don’t host poker anymore.
I have a “used twice only” $6000 Chanman poker table.
I’m still buying poker chips and playing cards.
I have a problem(s).

I think I’m going down a similar path; I don’t care too much about acquiring chips anymore, and am more excited about attending a couple meetups (PHL2, Straddle2 on tap for 2023).
These new Tiger chips are giving me degen tingles, though.

I went through something similar but oddly seeing the China card mold chips have gotten me wanting to build some old school Paulson sets (Crystal Park and Vineyards, ideally).
I confess I don't see what all the fuss is over the tiger chips. 3rd maybe 2nd best NAGB chip to date so they're not that bad but people sound like they've never seen a blaze orange chip before! I didn't want to post this there because that would be rude & as lame as all the bitter RPC haters out there posting on the RPC pron thread. Yes some Tigers look AMAZING by themselves but together they just don't compliment each other very well imo. "Meh meh meow" as a set would be too harsh but one shot did remind me of when I barfed up Cap'n Crunch w/ Crunch berries when I was a kid. I like the inlay and LOVE the Hot Stamp but how the hell did they overlook a frac?!? MORE FRACS PEOPLE!! (Or am I the only poor person playing poker here?) I would continue but I already know that I'm gonna be "cancelled'" for what I've said.
If anyone involved with that project reads this please know that I'm very happy you're moving the ball with GPI & if I get the chance to aquire some of your hotstamps also know I will actually play with them and not just flip them...

I'll never be a collector of chips, but I do host home games on my poker table, and this site has enticed me to buy better chips with the correct denominations to
make it more appealing. I'll never buy Paulson chips, as I can't justify the cost. Instead, I would love to spend a $1000.00 for a Shuffletech ST1000 with the flush mount kit instead. Will I do it, I say no for now, but I'll never say never.
I just recently purchased a set of decent chips, but because I'm spending too much time on here, I couldn't resist buying a few $5 Mirage Tribute No Mold chips from the December Chip sale. I believe I got sucked into buying some dealer buttons as well. lol... I'm hoping that I really like the Mirage chips, then of course I will need a full set. I'm already thinking of ordering another custom cloth using the Mirage theme! I have the ai file finished and ready to order when required I think I have a PCF addiction problem!!!!!!!

Pretty darn close, but starting with pennies -- one cent/three cent limit, three raises, on the kitchen table. The days when your entire bankroll fitted into a one-pound coffee can.

You mean from PCF?Clearly, divorce.
Although if I keep going, a divorce from the wife ain’t far off
I confess that I agree about the Tiger chips. They're the brightest chip set I've ever seen, and everyone here at PCF seems to always gravitate to the bright ones. To that, I'm sure they will go down as the GOAT for many chippers.
IMO there's almost TOO much neon...so much that it overwhelms the chips. I guess I'm a bit more conservative with color, I like neon used sparingly for added punch.
I do think the inlay is perfectly done...simple and classy.
I would really love to know the back story and how these came about.

Same thought I had when seeing them. They are glaringly, obsessively bright. I think they would even be a distraction to the game if you had strong overhead lighting. I would love some fresh, mint THC chip sets, but its not going to be these. It even saddens me a bit that a rare occurance of a NAGB chip is so ugly.
But like you said, I'm sure they will sell out in minutes once put on the market.

I feel the same. Although I occasionally pick up some smaller sets, my desire for something new has faded as the prices for a 3 table set have gone from expensive to more than a used BMW.
I love the community, but no longer watch the classifieds. I still plan on making 2 meet-ups a year, as some of the people here are simply the greatest.
I’m in the same boat @MegaTon44 . I have 1 more set in the works to round out the collection, then, done.
That sounds like an amazing dish on a cold winter’s day…where do you source your tiger dong? Can the recipe work with substitutes?…my buddy has a bead on some moose cock.
I’m with you there too. They look great on a computer screen. But I’ve played with bight sets in real life and they can be overwhelming. One crazy contrasting neon chip can be cool, but two or three of them on the table at the same time is just too much. For me anyway.
Not to say I won’t try to find some combination of tigers that works. But

what are No1 and No2 in your books?
Is it possible to boycott flippers?…or somehow put a badge on the most notorious offenders to “protect” the community and the hobby in general?

Sadly, no. However, there are a umber of chippers that have developed "do not sell" lists.
