Hi PCF, you Addicts. Money burners. Enablers.

October 2021 I got bored, wanted to play poker, and went to the internet…. Found PCF, lurked, read and decided to join.

One year later, well….. Here is the 12 months of debauchery in photos…

Start:

Amazon….. Because I didn’t know yet…

Then BBO because I read something about ceramics…

Then TINA enters the chat…

I gain access to the classified’s - and hot stamps - VERY BAD MOVE

I found a mill thread…..

And it went pretty fast from there…. Game over.

My first year on PCF summed up in one GIF

I found you a better one:

Congrats on the progress and the sweet sets!

 

[Marius L]

Efficient! Congrats

 

[dinosaur]

Holy moly. That’s one year? What have I fallen into?

 

[Lil Tuna]

Welcome to the club.

 

[Rieguy]

Hi PCF, you Addicts. Money burners. Enablers.

Sir, I resent that!

Anyway, what's the next set?

 

[joeyshin]

Your story is pretty much all of our stories. Lol

DISGUSTING.

 

[chiptickler]

1 year?? What did I get myself into? Props though! That's impressive.

You need to remove the D, I, B, and S keys from your keyboard.

I’ll take them if the price is ok

I am NOT thinking about a personal stamped set…………………. (Scrolls through MilesClub, then messages @Josh Kifer)

Gratz on your year

experimentation

regular use

risky use/abuse

addiction and dependency

Lou's journey is pretty typical. If that scares you, then log out, lose your password, and NEVER come back. Otherwise, welcome to the madhouse!

Biggest mistake I made was to set up a spreadsheet and log every purchase I have made since I joined. I had a budget for 1 or 2 basic sets of chips when I joined here. The total on my spreadsheet right now is that number times about 20...

Keeping track is a wild and dangerous thing…. I have some clue, but I definitely don’t wanna REALLY know….

I’ve tried keeping track of all the things that I have too, but sometimes I forget to update it and then I’m sitting there trying to figure out what I bought and how many I have now. I’ve never kept track of the per chip price though.

 

[megabit]

WOW! I have no words. That is quite a collection, I can't even estimate how much that must have cost. Reminds me of a horsemanship saying that I think could apply here too... "As addictive as crack and twice as expensive!"

I thought about keeping track of the money I've spent but decided to take the "ignorance is bliss" route. Probably better for my blood pressure and marriage.

I like to keep track of everything too. I am close to 20x my original budget too

Just a follow up on this comment…..

@LeLe I thought no way……. Not even….

And so far in my second year… I’ve “finished” the HotRod set, bought Tigers, and currently in the final stages of a CPC design.

What have I become?!?!?

 

[LeLe]

I like to call the first 2 year my exploring year, I had set target and budget to keep myself in place

Personally i venturing into my third year, and I have been recently reducing my set as I have gotten a very good idea of what I like and want

We live and learn, buying and selling and building is part and parcel of the hobby

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

Still enjoy seeing your journey bro. I just have one more take as I look back at this...

Who knew this was possible??? Take the one design (FOC) I hate ALMOST as much as dice chips, and PUT IT ON DICE CHIPS!!! Classic move.

 

[dokurobei]

Great progress, and that Aria's set is just AMAZING

 

[ovo]

love those Majestic quarters, what were they ?

Live $1 Sycuan’s with gear overlabel

Perfect for that set
