Peilcan Case - 1000 Chip Set - Air? (1 Viewer)

[skakel]

Hi All,

Just finished my 1000 Chip Vineyard set and looking of the best size Pelican case. I see a lot of threads on this topic but none that specifically call our the best case for 1000 Chip set. I'm pretty stuck on getting a Pelican any Pics and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

Well I lied - it’s at 800 but waiting on some fracs to fill it out. Maybe an extra rack of $5’s at some point.

 

[RocAFella1]

Very nice! No $100s?

Beautiful!

1 barrel of 8 spot arriving in about an hour. Don't think I'lll ever need more than that? Do you think my set breakdown is OK for a cash game $1/$2?

Sweet. Yea that’s a pretty good set for $1/2. I would maybe swap a rack of $1s for a rack of $5s and maybe get another barrel of $100s in case your game gets crazy, but you’re ready to roll.

Thanks Chris - Yeah agree on a 4th rack of 5's - they are damn hard to get though… Now I need a tourney set . Any high end tourney sets I should consider?

For high end, I like the Empress Star secondary - the WSOP look-alikes. A lot of people like the Aurora Star hotstamps as well.

Apache 4800 ------> Pelican 1550

Dunno if you're waiting for delivery or still searching for the Vineyard fracs. If the latter, a suggestion:

Check out the Chipco Vineyard quarters. IMO, they look and play a lot better with Paulson Vineyards than the Paulson hotstamps do.

Nice set of chips! Whenever we play 1/2 I have found that 2 racks of 1s is more than enough. I also agree that another rack of 5s would be great and maybe some more 20s. It really depends how deep and wild your 1/2 game plays.

My breakdown for our 1/2 game
200 - 1s
400 - 5s
160 to 260 - 25s
40 - 100s

The 5s are the workhorse chip, so I recently added 2 more racks of those. I used to carry more 1s with me but the players complained for color ups as they collected most of them.

Anytime. The Apache cases just recently were offered in colored cases
https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=apache 4800

There's always coupon codes too from Harbor Freight to get 20-25% off the advertised price too. And if that wasn't enough, I saw this the other day

Thank you!!! Totally agree on the extra rack of 5's We also play a lot of just $1/$1

I agree - not a fan of the Paulson vineyard fracs. I have some King's Casino Hot stamps .25 (blue) and .50 (yellow) that I have sued with this set but they clash too much with the 1's and 5's.

 

[skakel]

Thanks everyone - I ordered a yellow apache 4800.

Hopefully this is just for uber secure storage and ultra short secure travel, because this will be awkwardly heavy for any consistent distance carrying.

Its nice to know, if you haven't touched the chips for years, they are safe and secure in the Pelican. If the Apache work well too, great. You just pick up where you last had the obsession.

exactly ...i opened them up they other night and the obsession was still there ... just hidden for a while until this craziness is over. A show of hands - how many of you have already been back to your regular games? just curious

 

[Bano]

Not to hijack the thread.. but Skakel, is that two barrels of $20 Vineyards as your avatar?!?!

To respond to your question, no home games for a while. After Covid..but also before Covid..lol

We have had one game since February. It was short handed with only 6 of us. That was early last month. We don't have a plan for another game yet but may try next weekend.

Where did you get that tabletop mat? That is awesome. Ive been debating getting a table top but or not but I really have nowhere to store it. That roll-out mat looks perfect!!. Im also super jealous of your case.
