How many sets do you have? (2 Viewers)

The $5 Athenian cash chips, so sexy!
ATHENIAN_OWL_CLUB_0320.jpg
 
Let me offer some pron of my existing three sets (a tiny yet historical heavy-leaded fourth one is in the making, and a fifth one is in my imagination only).
The sixth one (existing!) is filthy slugged plastic (custom-labelled though :D ) for rural travel use, and hence not presentable here.

As a custom slugged ABS owner, those chips need love too. Despite owning many other, more expensive sets - I'm still happy to say I got them.

Never be ashamed of customs.

I love love love that cash set! Amazing colors and spot design. Beautiful. Fits the inlay very well. And I think the A mold is underused and underappreciated. The whole set is just so well coordinated, striking, and elegant.

This is unacceptable.

If there are chips we haven't seen then we must see them. If it's a custom set then I don't care if they're printed on pringles can lids - bring them forth!

Added 6, got rid of 1. Hmmm? Yup, still might have a problem.
 
The goal should be 12 tourney/ 12 cash right? If you host once a month... the other thought in a rotation is to keep wear down on your babies!! No matter how dense the clay is, eventually they will wear down and round off. Decreasing the value of your investment!
I played Poker every week or every other week once in a while, does that mean i will need 40-50 set for rotation :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Just FYI I was recently informed by @Jeff that if you don't have 3,000 chips... it doesn't count as a set.

I thought Brie and I had 32 playable sets (obviously some still in the works, but playable) but now I found this out and cuts our set count down to 3! And two of those are slugged. I guess I finally answered my 18 month question "I really don't have a problem, infact we need to step up our game!" Lol
 


The only set in this pic that I own is the sunsets.


Tourney:

1000 x 43 MM ABC Parks and Rec set

Limit/Cash:

1150 x 1, 400 x 5, 70 x $20.00 plaques ABC Parks and Rec set

Cash:

560 x mixed TRK's

450 x PNY's

1000 x CPC Sunsets

In production, HHR 1000 hot stamped bourbon set

“Step up our game,” what a relief! :unsure: :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: What’s @Josh Kifer think I wonder?
1635425277063.gif
 
But you wont have 2 of those sets in 6 months! ;)

That's not true any longer. I wish it wasn't the case. The "fair market value" of chips have pushed me out of the chipset rotation approach.

If I sell my PNY's and/or TRK's I'll probably never be able to replace them :(

There is definitely a loose definition about what a set is. Basically, two or more denoms/Nondenoms will make a set, but as far as playability goes, headup up and above is how I look at it. But I have marked of few of my sets with an * to show a bare minimum as a set. I think I did a count on playable sets over 6 persons and it was somewhere around 60 or so. 3k sets, yeah, I have several, but you can get by with under 1k, 500 for a tourney set.

I feel you, brother. I've quite looking at classifieds because the cost has completely stripped me of the temptation. I had dreamed of joining the set rotation club, but I don't trust USPS enough to put anything that valuable through post on a continual basis.
