Sets you like MORE than AS/ES/PS (2 Viewers)

[Burke]

Discussed with another member in another thread that there were sets out there that he may like more than the newest Paulson chips that we have seen. Admittedly those new chips are BADASS, but there are definitely sets that I enjoy (looking at) more. Would you guys mind sharing some of your favorites?

**Caveat: Please post any custom, semi-custom, Paulson, CPC, TRK you like, just please don't post your own custom set because....well that should be obvious if you have a custom set. And please only discuss the chip sets that are actually in this thread!**

Here are a few of mine (@mods I did not take these pics but I found them on this site):

Lakeshore Inn:

Palais de Congres:

Bellagio (cash)"

 

[Joe E.]

WOW, I had never seen the Lake Shore Inn chips before.

Daaayyyuuumm, those are sweet. Anyone have a sample set to sell me???

Cool thread!

Couple of my favorites

 

[GIANTDustySquid]

Really love the lakeshore 1s

 

[Tommy]

Vineyards

 

[gopherblue]

There are many...mostly TRKs...but @ssanel54’s Trop set...

*swoon*

Gimme a minute...

 

[Venturalvn]

Just to be fair, having your customs be your favorite should not be an obvious choice. I've seen a LOT of shitty customs since I've been in the game...

There’s so many really. Most leaded Paulson THC’s with cool shaped, textured inlays would qualify, in my opinion.
I’ll post mine - it’s not the biggest set of these around, and really, it only qualifies as a set if you’ve only got 4-5 players, but I’m still working on it - one by one:
Grand Casino Gulfport

Oceanside Card Club. At least one member here (or his brother) is known to have a set. Shaped inlays, great colors, THC, and a consistent spot pattern (and I think leaded to boot).

 

[Burke]

Sorry. I missed someone, so you actually, didn't make the cut. Your spot goes to @BeagleStorm . My apologies.



Total mistake on my part. You're in slot 20.

WOW....would really like to see a pic of a set!

I don't own any, (and likely never will), but Olivia's are my favorite set of all time and the one that got me into chipping.

@Psypher1000 thanks for sharing

 

[Rhodeman77]

The set that made casino used chips undesirable to me. I love these chips.

 

[ChipEnvy]

I've always been a real casino chip collector. Once upon a time a cash set from any casino was a tough find. Having choices is a luxury that most people take for granted. A tournament set was unheard of.

So with that being said the only chips I really like more than some of the Star chips are casino tournament sets. Two in particular... The first is the Cleveland WSOP set and the second is the ACF Paulson set.

I've sold a lot of chips. The set I regret selling most are the PCA cash set, by FAR.

If I had that many $5's I love my PCA set a lot more.

Secondaries? I don't know how anybody could.

 

[Psypher1000]

the Cleveland WSOP set

A very unassuming/non-intuitive choice. Care to elaborate why?

 

[Forty4]

Really like that there are already so many t Cali color set.

Don’t know if I have a favorite but certainly an unchecked box for me currently.

 

[Psypher1000]

Vineyards

This is the one and only giant inlay set to my recollection that makes me say, "Yeah, okay...that's pretty good. I'd own that"

I don't either. At least I had the good sense to only sell half my set

 

[Psypher1000]

@ssanel54’s Trop set...

*swoon*

Truth.

Gimme a minute...

In before Riversides.

(In truth, I didn't post them because I knew this guy ^^^ would. And I'm lazy.)

@41Pickup's 1st Ed Tropicana TRK set (his image, linked)

Duy's Palace, by Viet Rounder, remember them? Probably my all-time number one chips, and I have a largish set of Vineyards...

They belong in an museum of art.

@41Pickup's 1st Ed Tropicana TRK set (his image, linked)

Words can't describe how frickin' cool this set is (and I'm not even a TRK fanboyl). :

 

[AK Chip]

Here are couple I would add to the list

 

[pltrgyst]

Secondaries? I don't know how anybody could.

I sold mine, too -- and it wasn't that hard. There are *so* many great sets!

Edit: Just remembered what made me sell them -- I acquired a large set of Grand Victorias, and found that I liked the GV $5 even more than the PCA secondary $5.

 

[Psypher1000]

remember them?

Wasn't around for them, but have seen the images. Would love a sample set of them if it's out there. Not my particular cup of tea as far as *owning* a playable set goes, but that's one of the best sets BCC ever produced, and one of the best custom sets ever made by anyone.

 

[Nex]

How come noone has posted Horseshoe Cleveland/Cincinnati yet? :

 

[brains613]

Secondaries? I don't know how anybody could.

Yes. Didn't want to, believe me. Was borne out of necessity. I cried while boxing them up.
