Waiting List
Good day to everyone, and another former Chiptalk member (zr_ox) registering after a loooooong time away from the world of poker and poker chips.
Why so long? After moving house a few times, renovating said houses, having kids and pursuing a career - I just couldn't find the time anymore. That's at least what I tell people, whilst quietly consoling myself over the fact that around 16 or possibly 17 years ago that I was the proud owner of a 600 chip set of Paulson PNY's and 500 chip set of TRK Deadwoods...the only ones in Denmark, and possibly the largest sets on the European continent.
Whilst I sold them back then for a small profit, knowing just how much they'd be worth today makes me sick to my stomach...but what's worse to me now, is not owning a unique piece of history - and unless I win the lottery, those beauties will forever be a distant memory.
For me it all started with a 300 chips set of Inplay's from Sidepot, before the bug bit hard and I collected smaller stacks and samples that included Crystal Parks, Vineyards and numerous other TH&C molds. I was also the proud owner of a smaller set of the original Rounders too.
Well I'm back, too rekindle my love for these wonderous round discs of joy, from the art work to the stories they embody. Oh, and I need to get my hands on some chips for some home games with my boys and buddy's...as I'm all out of chips and refuse to buy the junk available on most websites.
