Can I get some context on what you mean by that?

I’ll take a shot. Tigers were the most prolific and flamboyant of all the NAGB offerings. And they were also priced lower than what we saw as market prices for previous NAGBs.
But then the faro dunes showed up saying I can make a profit while selling chips for noticeably cheaper than the tigers.

Hol'up... I wasn't here yet. Tigers were $10k for a 1,000 piece set according to their site. How fucking much were NAGB chips going for!? I just saw an ESPT set go up for less than TP's store pricing.

NAGB chips were going for $8-$20 chip from 2019-2022.

Tiger hot stamps rolled out at around $6-$7/chip and most of the other sets were $8/chip with add on racks in the $6-$9 chip range. For example I think you could have bought secondary $1s for $650/rack at launch.

What remaining inventory now is more expensive tigers. Complex designs, oversized 43mm or 48mm, or limited run high denoms.

Agaves sold out within the first few days they launched and never made it to the site. Jim and company tried to offer them on PCF (I believe) but demand was too strong and supply was too low.
 
None of the above.

It just came up because there was another Tiger drive by comment - it's literally just a comment on people being stuck in their feelings on em as the only nagb to be brought up at the rate they are.

Not the case. If someone wants to get a GPI order through and put Oscar the Grouch on em, so be it! I think any chips are good chips, and all chips are good for the community.

I love that the Faro Dunes chips got made, and for the folks that enjoy them I'm happy for them.

Are there plenty of things I don't like about Faro Dunes from a design perspective? 100%.

But my comment has nothing to do with "not liking Faro Dunes". It was a cheek in tongue comment based on:

People whined and continue to whine about cohesive sets being made that were unlike anything available, at wide availability, fair pricing, etc. If they don't want that, fine, back to normal scheduled programming.

My comment had nothing to do with your one comment. You have been consistent and forthcoming with your dislike of the Faro Dunes from day 1. I'm ok with that. They were not made for you.

Controversial opinion.. I love the Tigers. I've said it openly and consistently. There is a reason why I stayed far away from doing a large batch inlay set.

I’ll say this - I’m aware of a transaction for a single rack of NAGBs selling for $10,000.

I will say that it’s fu*king gross when someone posts a set for super expensive pricing, and then comes in everyone with those chips (who know better) talking them up, glws, amazing chips, omg amazing I’d add on if I needed to here’s mine, won’t be here long, etc. to stan and hope for an updated price point for their own chips’ value.

Not controversial opinion, but likely uncommon/unpopular: I love seeing spills and chip dust and hair (why the f*ck is there so many little hairs!?) on the table/felt.

For someone that never got to host but bought sh*t like he did, it’s fantastic to see a worn felt post game. For hosts who’ve been at it for years (decades), who have been probably being sighing for years as they hear glass breaking in the kitchen or watch full cups spill, just a reminder to remember the days when things were kept pristine because there was no game.

Nut remnants welcome here! (Okay maybe not that far)

I have 2 surfaces to replace. Perhaps a trade? My old, worn speedcloth for your pristine felt? I'll even give you the stories about the wear-marks (note: none involve beverage spills. Slide-under cupholders allow drinks to be located in optimal positions for each player).

That should keep you entertained for a few days.

Oh not to worry. I've been down that rabbit hole already. I was just wondering which rack sold for 10k.

Just remember, everything you read in that thread and from the OP is 100% real and true.

No one has seen them since that Feb 2021 post though because they're so special. Some people say if you sit with an old man chipper on a porch a seventh time you can actually hear a faint "minty Gulfports" on the wind.
