Giveaway FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!! (1 Viewer)

[lrapley]

Just finished undergrad and moved 800 miles away from home (and knew no one). What to do...go on a solo casino hopping trip from Tunica down to Natchez.
Just one of the many chips collected on the trip.

You couldn't go wrong with Nexgen for a custom chip. Man we had some fun tournaments with these. My avatar is a pic of my next set which was Nevada Jack Skulls that I got from completing deposit bonus after bonus from random online card rooms. I still have this table.

Those tables were like $99 at KW Surplus. I didn't get it but regretted soon after because I became a heavy player on Hollywood Poker. Is that where you got yours?

After I bought my craps table and was on the hunt for cheap chips. I was in Vegas and saw these 1’s that looked newer than all the rest and was like if I slip these a couple at a time, the best ones. It’s only one dollar a chip! (I guess you call it “harvesting” as I have read this week) And that’s when it all started.....

No entry needed - just pr0n

Dang Milanos and 8v’s. I’m actually a bit obsessed with my 8v’s. Need a bunch more to complete my set. Can’t wait for any upcoming sales.

 

[Deuce9]

Those started it for me too but my first Paulson's were these Tukwilas which I drunk ebayed from the Chiproom at 2 am back in 2008 or so.

@moose Do you like the Dessert Sands? I like the look of them and don’t own any ceramics as of yet?

Went on a long journey (metaphorically) to find out what a “real” poker chip was. Knew I’d held them in Vegas but nothing else I could find was close. One day I searched poker chips on eBay, sorted by highest price, and discovered the brand that supplies the chips to 80% of casinos worldwide. Paulson. A “real” chip is a Paulson! After that it was easy. I found that even after buying the perfect chipset I still enjoyed looking/discovering/shopping for chips.
First set: Palais des Congress purchased from Nevada Jacks dot net.

The first photo I took of my chips, but I had had them for some time. This was after I purchased...

Note: these chips are long gone and I own no PdC chips

Happy Birthday! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

Well, for me, there were 2 sets that I purchased at the same time..

First, CPC Rounders. I initially bought 700 of these, but now up to 940. Still my first true clay poker set.

Second, I also made an entry into Paulsons. The Pharaoh's did it for me. Made me fall for Paulsons, HARD! I even sold my first set of Pharaoh's, only to regret it so bad, I had to replace them with this set I have now...

My first set of "real" poker chips. Custom Chipco (circa early 1980's)

I have a set of Pharoahs as well, they are my favorite! Not much compares to them.

I got it from eBay for around that amount. I bought it and the seller didn't respond for weeks so I ended up tracking the seller down using some questionable methods and talked to him over the phone. IIIRC, he told me that he bought a warehouse and had a bunch of these tables in it. Nice feller.

 

[espehrson]

my first set.

This got me started. I said to myself, "I'll never spend a dollar a chip. These work fine." Never been more wrong in my life.

It's not where you start, it's where you finish.

 

[Jeevansluck]

"I'll never spend a dollar a chip."

Famous first words of MANY new chippers, I'm sure of it.

I definitely posted something like this.

"$1/chip?!".... "ridiculous"..."can't afford it"..."China clays will be fine" etc....

And ya, DEAD WRONG!!!!

I came across this too late for the giveaway, but I still want to share in the fun!

Showdowns brought me to PCF, in a way. I bought these as an upgrade from dice chips. As soon as I pulled them out of the box, I was disappointed by the colors. They looked so much more colorful on the internet. I used them in a few games but I wasn’t ever really happy with them.

So I thought I’d see if I could move them, and buy something I would like more. Having been very involved in guitar gear forums, I typed “poker chip forum”, and came across PCF. Didn’t take me long to realize there’s not a huge market for them here.

Here’s a screenshot of my FB Marketplace ad.
