Are you referring to Noah and Dave's Poker Room?

The Noah & Dave's chips are up in post 151 above.

Noah and Dave's are the ones I was trying to remember. Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction.

You might also be thinking of Thor's Max's Haus set (link), but I don't know if he ever had them made (searching on my phone is a PITA).

Max's Haus is the one I thought he meant. I love the artwork. Would love to see shots of the chips on the custom felt.

Ah, yes, the white whale--custom inlaid TRKs. If only I had a flux capacitor...

I think PAZ914 has these now. (these are his pics):

I found a couple more:

Whippoker also had an ASM "The Red Room" set:

...and a BCC "The Red Room" set subtitled "The Little League World Series of Poker":

Whippoker's other BCC set, "The 5th Street Hooligans"

Trav's 2008 ASMs "The Compound"

Sexy.

I think this thread has exceeded everyone's expectations. As you can see from the title edit I just made, we're over 100 sets now - 126 to be inexact by my gorilla math.

This is truly a huge accomplishment for the community to catalog all these sets for people who never had an opportunity to see them or somehow missed them during their unveiling. Tons of threads get overlooked on these boards by virtue of timing, poor title drafting, or just sheer bad luck, but it is truly tragic for a custom set to be lost in the sands of time. Hopefully we've resurrected a few and hopefully there are a few more to come!

I've thanked him before, but it's obvious reading through the thread that @toad94 has nearly single-handedly carried the weight here. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say I am deeply grateful for his dedication to filling his hard drive with these great images and that he's taken the time to share them here.

This is really gonna come in handy during HoF discussion time this year

edit: toad is such a boss.

@jbutler @toad94 many thanks to you both for creating an epic thread. Some really sweet sets I haven't seen in years, and I think at least 3 I didn't know existed! Just when I think we're winding down, this thread gets bumped with epic pr0n. (y) :thumbsup:

I love the BCC 514 spot.

Always liked @bluesman250's GCR set

If poker chips ever get outlawed, the authorities will be very interested in @toad94's hard drives!!

Thanks, guys; you're making me blush.

And thanks to Jbutler for the index--that's a big help.

Speaking of the index, if anyone has an ungodly amount of time on their hands or has the best memory ever, I'd love to be able to note who designed each of the sets in the index in the OP.

I know very few for certain.

courage · Jul 5, 2016

pretty sure Old Orchard set was designed by machinelf.

Thought this too, but wasn't sure. I'll list him unless/until I learn otherwise.

They aren't yet in the index, but those ASM hourglass Copperhead Card Rooms I put up in post #101 were the creation of unvmyset and mizchaud in 2008.

His write-up is on CT, along with many pix, at http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/threads/asm-copperhead-card-room.60993/

Thanks, Larry. I'll add them. I wasn't clear from your last post whether they were yours and also wasn't sure how closely to try to hew to the original purpose of the thread (i.e., only sets by members who are inactive here). I'll update the index.

Manity's (2006) "Weaver & Son Champagne Poker Room"

Just wanted to quote these specifically as my top favorite of all the sets that "new to me". Seeing these for the first time is unbelievable. True classics.

Pretty sure not my relatives. More beer than champagne.
