I’m speaking for the others that you aren’t speaking for. You come off as judgmental and resentful. You seem to be mad that others like stuff you can’t afford and they actually say they like those things.
I like higher quality poker chips than ceramics from China. You are perfectly willing to settle for those.

Price has nothing to do with it.

Just so you can understand this - price has nothing to do with it.

I prefer harder to obtain things, you prefer easy to get things. You like judging people and calling them names like a five year old, I prefer to just state my opinions.

I don’t think you are judgemental or elitist because of your poker chip choices. It’s actually your juvenile behavior that leads me to think that in your particular case.

Buy what you like. Or can afford, whatever you are whining about. But when you judge others because of their likes and dislikes - well you are just part of a different elite.

I guess the only response I have to this is you obviously can't read, or, comprehend what you've read, because there is zero accuracy to anything you've written. I don't own any sets of Tina, I give them away. I prefer the Paulson, TRK, ASM's and Chipco's that I have, but, what my post clearly stated, in a polite way, is that I'm happy supporting those that like Tina, live and let live.

You on the other hand, made of clear that it were not OK with those that had a lower standard than you.

Keep trying to tell those of us that watch your arrogant thread crapping posts that your not an elitist, arrogant thread crapping douche. Go ahead, we're waiting. Please try to reference your accusations, like I have, so that we can try and follow where you're coming from.

Oh, by the way, of the 15,000 chips I have in my collection Tina's account for about two racks of samples accumulated over the last few years.

Post #21 of this thread is my reference.

Just curious on where the line is on "knockoffs" and IP infrigements. Does that only apply to Tinas? What about people who overlabel or murder/re-label Paulsons to make them look like a different Paulson chip? e.g. Horseshoe Garden to 98 CDI fracs? Solid day blue THC to Flamingo $1? Certainly looks like that's totally ok even though it could cause confusions when they are listed for sale.

As far as Tinas go, sets that look exactly like CDI, BTP, Gulfport, PCA, PNY, RPC, SB, Binion's, ES, are being ordered almost every GB:

https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/web-mold-greek-mold-pre-designed-sets.115859/

Clearly to so many people it's acceptable as they are bought/sold/traded often here on PCF.

It's certainly funny to look at the car/watch analogy:
Re-badging/bumper/wheels/aero kit to make an E350 look like an E63 AMG (Paulson re-label to me) vs. Cobra replicas (Tina replica)
Seiko tribute to Submariner vs straight up replica

This post here if your is my reference as to your immaturity and intolerance. I guess you just can’t accept that other people think and believe different stuff than you.
They aren’t people in your eyes, just a sub species you can degrade with insults and name calling.
There is a thing called respect for your fellow man. Maybe your parents should have taught you better, assuming you know who they are. But if you want to have a respectful discourse, fine, let’s talk. But name calling and insults are not what adults do. Children do that.
 
@ekricket I'll stop cluttering up this thread with off topic crap, but, you make no sense. The question and issue was not that I started calling you names like elitist, prick (for your elitist comments, and douche (that one wasn't mine, another member used that, I just re-used it)...

But, seriously, a man your age that claims to be above the common man (see post #21 and others) resorting to talking about someone's dead parents, rest their souls? I don't believe you're capable of having respectful discourse, you've proven that here. I believe you started the name calling with the term passive aggressive. I was trying to be as kind as I could while calling attention to your post.

If you want to start over that's fine with me, but, kind of hard to walk back what you've posted. But, again, most of the forum knows you by the fruit you bear here. When it walks like a duck...

I've thought about this, and personally I do not have a problem using the Flamingo logo on my murdered roulettes but I would have a problem selling them listed as a "Flamingos" set. Maybe that's arbitrary, but that's a line in my head. I am certainly benefiting from an IP/logo and that's not okay to some, but not profitting off said IP. My color choice and chips are ugly enough that it shouldn't be an issue anyways!

I go back and forth whether its worth just murdering the $1s to make a completely new custom solids set. But I appreciate your post, makes me think.

For now, I'm stuck with Tina's. I have champagne taste on a beer budget. Tina's are absolutely the best value for us beer guys. I will say that the sound of a Tina chip (on a proper table) is darn near indistinguishable from CPC chips. I do prefer the sharp edges of a brand new CPC or a Paulson.
Now Paulson's... They have a sound all their own.
I wish I had pulled the trigger on a Paulson set 10-12 years ago. Someday I'll knock over a liquor store or something to fund me some Paulsons. :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

I don’t fully agree but I do really appreciate your long standing consistency on this. While many of the shoppers in the GB subforum haven’t even considered IP issues before making their purchase, it’s helpful to be reminded that there’s a strong opinion to be had at the opposite end of the spectrum.

I’m somewhere in the middle. I think finding a way to give casino chips a playable life in a set by mixing with relabels can be really amazing. Or adding missing/unobtanium denoms to an otherwise casino set.

I don’t care as much for sets that fully mimic a casino branding without any original component.
 
I don't have anything against Tina chips, and if I were the kind of person who wanted to own more than 3 sets I would consider having some. That being said, I have noticed some significant color wear on the shuffle stack I keep on my desk. Now obviously these are getting more action than most chips will and it doesn't reduce their functionality, but I would be a bit disappointed if I wanted a long term keeper set and it faded like this.

Exactly! What about unobtaniums?! And what is the definition of unobtanium? Absolutely no set exist? Or exist but outrageously valued/priced that 99% of PCFers cannot afford them even if one set were to be available for sale?

Full playable TRK NCC set with $25/$100?

Full playable Pick Hobson set? Where are the $1s?

Full playable THC Seattle Great Wall?

In these examples, would it be okay then to make a tribute/replica?

Agree with it al except I think NAGB designers that are part of Justin’s buys have approved it/allowed it/royalties?
 
I just wish people were more creative with their tina designs. There's the whole chip to design, yet people attempt to emulate the limitations of clay chips

I want to see more Parks and Recs type sets. More DDLM type sets. Or imo, the ceramic grail: paymasters https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/paymaster-official-chip-pr0n-thread.12539/

there's no shortage of designers here on PCF, so I would've hoped by now we would've seen some truly great ceramic designs

You are absolutely right.

We see a lot of ceramics resembling clays.

I want more ceramic likes Caribe Hilton with patterned edges!

The only right way to do is collect them all. Collect different sets in different material and style

Paulson Clay, Casino Grade Plastic, Tina Ceramic

Hot stamped, Solid, Custom, Micro stake, High roller, Plaques set

Just no to Dice / Slugged plastic thou, you deserve better in your life

I think you know what I meant. But I’m thinking of my case, like adding CPC scrown $1s to a TRK set which had THC $1s to avoid mixing molds.

Kind reminds me of what Tina/(Sam) messaged me when discussing the type of ceramics molds that they offer, when he got to the Faux hat and cane mold, he said "forum sellers hate this mold, but forum buyers like it very much", which also reminds me of another forum post that said about those Paulson knockoffs "if wasn't for the forum members, those molds would not exist"

Dont know how true that is - but a little truth can exist in both perceptions.
 
The advent of the Mazda Miata didn't make Ferraris obsolete - quite the opposite.

The democratization of a formerly exclusive hobby only increases the value of rarer collectibles, rather than reducing them.

The more people who learn about Tinas and toss out their dice chips, the more people who elevate their tastes and base level expectations of what's "acceptable," and the more desirable the higher "luxury" levels of the hobby become.
