This meme is perfect. I tell my wife and friends all the time that we’re essentially just a bunch of losers playing with our train sets in our basement man cave hahaha

My wife has met chippers.

Lol completely unrelated, she’s more than happy to take the kids and go away during meetup.

Seems pretty related to me if she's met chippers... lol

I mean. At the same time….it kinda is a support group for atypicals

But now I’m curious, are most “collecting” hobbies?

I think that is so.

I started in my 20's by collecting everything I could from Franklin Mint. Followed that up with the Star Wars collectables and then went hard on collecting Watches.

During Covid it was Lego and now it's Poker Chips.

Each and every time I collect it is with feverish intent, spend way more than I should and end up with a house full of stuff that I have to resell when I move on to the next thing. My phychologist says it's most likely ASD. My wife says I'm just a little bit "special".

My wife said it was ASS and never thought it was special

Sorry, but why do most Gasser chairs look like they came from a nursing home cafeteria?
Seriously, the backs appear to have not changed style in the last 40 years.

Not Day Green or Sherbet, but these greens are all over 11g/chip (blacks are 11.7+/chip), which is unheard of and nuts:

Anyway, I'm a big fan of leaded RHCs because textured inlays are the nuts and they have large ones. It's also why I ended up liking TRKs more than I thought I would, as they have fatter textured inlays on the ones I have. Now, do I love leaded RHCs mixed with THCs? Not really, but PCA definitely used to be extremely appealing to me when their cost-to-awesomeness ratio was spot on. Then WW spite-bought in bulk, forever driving up the price to throw that ratio way off. Cool. Regardless, they're still nice, especially the high denoms. I'd be very happy to play with a set and am shocked I've never touched a single chip of them besides a BOH I once had.

When I first handed my custom CPC to a non-chipper they said "these aren't that heavy". Lesson to be learned? Any chipper that says this is the same as a non-chipper to me. (yes that's pure deflection GFY)

I like those green chips.
