Two Pair
Found this forum after a bit of a hiatus. I participated in the old ChipTalk forum back in its heyday (probably 15+ years ago), but my regular poker group fell apart when I moved back around 2010. Finally I did start hosting games again, and eventually ended up back here.
Fortunately I still have my custom ASM/CPC set I bought back in the day, along with a nice set of Paulson Pharaohs. I can't believe how much prices have gone up though! The customs are probably double what I paid and the Pharaohs (many of which I bought < $1/chip and are basically mint) seem to have gone parabolic. Now I wish I had bought more.
I do miss the days of the old Paulson group buys, but may expand my CPC/ASM set a bit in the future if I can raise enough cash as I they appear to be the only game still in town.
I still have a love of real quality clay chips. I have a stack of 10 Pharaohs on my desk I've been shuffling the last 15 years or so. The edges are rounded, and colors are a bit smudged but they still look great!
