Hello everyone,
Humble greeting from the South Eastern USA. I've always loved casino chips, and pocketed a few from every casino I've been to over the years. I have maybe 25 chips from my travels across various US casinos. My favorite from an aesthetic perspective are from the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ.
Now that I work remote and I am glued to my desk for a number of hours today, I often find myself wanting something to fidget with to help pass the time. I am far from a pro but I am trying to learn how to shuffle poker chips like WSP players. It's become kind of a tick for me. My colleagues have fidget spinners etc but there's something attractive about the weight, feel, and sound of a poker chip that can't be beat. I ordered some generic chips from an auction site and was disappointed. Felt like checkers chips.
I thought forums went out of style, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see what appears to be an active community here. I stopped using forums maybe in 2014, one dedicated to a sports car I owned at the time.
I recently bought a few single chips off an auction site from casinos abroad, including my first plaque from a now defunct casino. This encouraged me to research how to buy chips other than going to a casino or paying an abused per-chip price on auction sites.
Looking forward to learning more about chips and maybe buying a modest set that will give me something to play with during my boring desk job. Pleasure to meet you all.
With the introduction out of the way I see there are minimum posting requirements to participate in classifieds. Besides talking about my budding chip interest, what do most folks discuss here?
