Hi there;
After two years observing from the outside, I gave up and dove into chipping.
First things first; ALL my gratitude to @Steppenwolf and @horseshoez, for getting me started, all your generosity, guidance, and patient teaching and letting me learn from you has been great to say the least. Also I want to thank all of you that have been giving me free advice in the forum. This forum is AWESOME!!!:):)

I am already on my third set:
1. JACK Detroit cash set (still building it... help please with S&K $5 and/or Santa Ysabel $2... sorry I couldn’t contain myself). Mostly thanks to @horseshoez for the guidance ...and some chips;)
2. CDI 05 - it can play up to 25 people... @Steppenwolf all credit on this set goes to him.
3. Arguably maybe the most precious set I have; the one that made me gave up to
Chipping. The fantasy set (I guess I can call it that): Rounders only one of 30 in the world. Again @Steppenwolf gets the credit.

Painfully; I am not a good photographer, but there we go, not in a particular order:

Nice start!

Just in case you don't know, there are a number of different Rounders sets. Is there a name frequently used to identify this particular one?
I do not know how to call it; this one was one with other 29 were made by Miramax for European movie distributors when the movie was launched. It actually was found by @jr8719; all the credits to him and the generosity of @Steppenwolf that gave mE access to it. @jr8719 actually made a great video about this set:

@Ocharacato i have to say for just one month, you are off to an impressive start. Really love the sets you have there. The 05 CDIs are some of my favorite chips, the colors of that set were so well done they are absolutely timeless. I myself have the twin brother Pharoahs.

@Ben8257 you flatter me. I am just a minnow trying to swim with the big boys. I will say this, buy what speaks to you and what makes you happy and don’t let anyone else on or outside this forum dictate your tastes when it comes to chipping and the chips you decide to purchase. I know Ben feels the same way! I am starting to build out my collection.

Although I am building it up, I pan on felting every singe set. Of course I will rotate! ;)

Thanks for the kind words @Ben8257
 
Wow.

That is probably the best word to describe your progress thus far, brother.

You have impeccable chipping taste; @Steppenwolf and @horseshoez have clearly taught you well!

What were those JACK fracs originally?

Love the KGButton to go with your Rounders set, too. You just need to make one of these now...

Thanks for the kind words; the chips you found woke up the chipper in me.
The fracs are actually Aliante Station Casino $1

This stuff always serves as a reminder that we’re pretty lucky to be able to enjoy a hobby/game such as this with each other. I have more appreciation for chipping and playing poker primarily due to the reason that it’s helped me establish amazing friendships.

Super happy that you’re enjoying this hobby and from my end, I feel privileged that I get to share it with the likes of yourself, @Steppenwolf and the rest of the guys even those I haven’t met in person yet.

Fantastic work on those Jack fracs. They make a really nice fit and as for your current collection in general, you already had the taste, we just gave you the push.

Much love brother! Cheers and looking forward to enjoying all of these sets “in the family.“

Hahaha, I'm glad the Rounders chips woke the chipper in you — even though your bank account probably doesn't share the same enthusiasm.

Very interesting, might have to try and harvest a rack of those Aliantes when I'm in Vegas. Yours look to be in excellent / near mint condition?

I love those rounders. I was lucky; I grab the fracs earlier this week here in PCF; they are in excellent/Minty condition

Amazing collection already!!!! Simply stunning.

It's safe to say with conviction, you have officially caught the bug. It's a very bad case, let me tell you;):ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Great going Raul!
 
I’m really glad I didn’t snipe those fracs from you when they went on sale. I’m pretty sure I was the first to see them posted but I heard a quiet voice whispering in my ear “these chips are not meant for you...”

Nice job, Raul! Great sets, and way to jump right in. We had the same initiating teacher, @Steppenwolf should start an academy!
Yes.,, right? He should. He is really generous.
I think having him and Zaki close is making my learning curve steep and fast; or maybe I like to think that to justify the crave for more...;); but for sure I wouldn’t be here with those beauties without them!
