Hey all,

Just wanted to say hello and say I couldnt be happier finding a forum like this. I've always been in to poker, throwing home games and sometimes tourney, but my poker chip obsession started about a year ago and there wasnt many places to "scratch the itch"

I found PCF during my time designing a set on CPC for my home games and hoped to see other custom sets to give myself ideas.

I look forward to diving in deeper.

Hi Anthony and welcome to PCF! If you found us via CPC, then I'm not going to give you the typical warnings about falling down the rabbit hole and running away from here screaming while you still have your wallet.

But if you're in search of some great custom sets, including those from CPC, take a look at the poker chip DB for custom sets:

I split time between the MetroWest area and western mass out towards Athol

I grew up in G-Vegas, the great Chair City of Gardner, hello neighbor!

One drunken night long ago we drove around Athol and spray painted “ FOLKS” under Athol on the entering Athol signs

Welcome!

Regarding your first CPC set, measure twice and cut once. Its good you're looking around here...
My mistakes for my first set (now retired) were self-designing an inlay with denominations in small print.
There are plenty of example of good use of color and spots here.
Soak it all in before you spend all that money.

That’s funny, I wonder how many Vegas’s there are around here. Marshfield has always been Marsh-Vegas (god knows why) and I’ve heard at least a couple of other towns nicknamed similarly, though this is the first time I’ve heard it for Gardner.

I always thought it was dumb. Maybe because we were the "big city" of 22k residents in that area

To be honest, this is probably the first time I’ve heard of Gardner.

It's practically in NH, being part of North Worcester County

LOL, those of us who grew up near the first exit of the Pike can only laugh when Athol is referred to as Western Mass!

Anything outside of 495 is western mass and it looks like this - everyone who lives inside 95

People from Boston think Worcester is Western Mass. Sorry, no

Yeah, but Bostonians sound "retahded" when they speak
