Hell, I'd be pretty happy with that set of Dunes chips!
How many are in that set?

Thanks, there's a little over 900. I initially bought a sample set, followed by getting the first 800 chips here and then added on some more through Apache. The newer $20s are slightly different than the older ones in insert colors, but only chippers taking a close look would really notice.

 

[PARADOX]

Since I play mainly tournaments.

Aurora star hot stamps!

I finally was able to secure a playable set recently as well!

I think these were the gateway drug for me.
Obviously way before PCF, or quality phone cameras. ( Or phone cameras, period...)

 

[Chipton]

I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I look at these chips.

 

[rendangzi]

Definitely my rounders set... I still go wow whenever I take them out nowadays. My first love and I intend to buy many more of these!

For now, have branched out into Paulsons and have WTHC, Jack Cincis, HS Cincis, HSIs.

Can't wait for the next TCR sale. I will be there this time!

A set of about 800 THC solids (monograms and Starbursts) which I bought on eBay for about $900. People thought I overpaid.

Still one of my favorites. Going to get milled eventually.

I drank one and poured one out for my fallen brothers.

Fist chip set was this 300pcs money carlo set from a local supplier here in Australia, down here you don't get much choice on chips unless you spend an arm and leg for shipping so this set got me hooked and willing to spend an arm and leg on shipping for some real chips, hope to get my hands on real chips soon

Palmas club cash set and the Grand Vic primary 500s first drew me in. I've since sold them but I will always hold them in high regard.

I owned one BJ V7 and didn't know anything about it, except for that I liked the sound it made. Posted on Reddit and a very helpful @navels answered the call and suggested I check out the site. Turns out that was a pretty lucky day for me.

Noice!!! I think I'm looking for BJ V7's

What was your first chipping love? Which set hooked you into PCF?

My first chipping love was the beautiful Paulson Pharaohs started from my brutha @Changster. I've been hooked ever since..
I have since sold the set, but it still holds a special place in my heart and chipping journey.

You and me too my friend.....we had a very similar set.....assembled in ~04/05 used until sold in 2016. I find it tough to sell sets now, the ones I do have just keep growing steadily.

buddy had paulson classics we used to play with, then I found homepokertourney, which led me to chiptalk, but decided to make customs at ASM before I even joined chiptalk, thinking I could design a set better BCC Desert Palms came along and that was it..........

Got a CDI'05 set first when they arrived at the market. After looking for getting more, I spotted somewhere the CDI'98 so I went into lurking mode which got me into CT around 2007/08 and then into PCF when all the havoc was made at CT.

So, CDI'98 chips I would say, were the main responsible. I think @kerami bought a big chunk of that CDI'98 set.
