Show us your card protector...Chip/Object/Lucky Trinket (2 Viewers)

[Tanner Kaza]

Maybe I may have overlooked this thread as there are thousands...but I don't recall seeing a thread of strictly card protectors/covers.

What are you using...a chip? an object? nothing?

I am superstitious in pretty much all aspects of life, do you change it up when you are on a downswing?

 

[gopherblue]

You wanna see my card protector?!?

 

[detroitdad]

I use a different chip from my samples every time I play.

 

[upNdown]

I use the chip in my avatar - the 43mm Dunes Baccarat $20 as a card protector - naked, no air-tight. But I only use a card [protector if I'm in the 1 or the 10 seat, otherwise my chip stays in my pocket.
I played a tournament at Foxwoods a month ago and was saddened to see the 25's were the exact same color as my Dunes chip. Even though I was stuck in the 1 seat, I kept my chip in my pocket and just used a 25 chip. No need to cause confusion.

Jon Snow for tournaments. Choice of custom chips for cash.

 

[Poker Zombie]

I have a whole slew that I have used, so there is no way this list could ever be comprehensive, but these are the ones that havent been filed away elsewhere...

Foam die, Mrs Poker Zombie bullet, Copag setup divider glued to a vodka bottle cap, Rubber brains, a rock from the Nevada desert, Zombie card capper, Fire Department challenge coin, tiny martini glass, chips I got from other chippers.

CP 100, linksstrong, 2006 WSOP button, 1oz of copper done like an ace of spades, or a huge ass NFA coin...

 

[links_slayer]

Here are mine. The center one I got from PGi years ago, the other 4 lucky chips are recent additions from @PokerChipsDesign - I cashed in my first tournament with my red lucky chip, 54 players at my local casino.

Here’s my war chest... (ok, it’s my nightstand drawer) card protectors, headphones, and I typically keep a couple BIs worth of cash in there too...

I thought I was buying-in kind of small...

 

[p5woody]

Found another image of the back side of my original PGI card capper. When I first started playing this side reminded me to stay calm and balanced while playing and had my favorite saying 'stupid is as stupid does'.

 

[rowlin]

My favorite card protector of all time is an inch-long level that a friend uses... so he can see when he is starting to tilt.

I have about a dozen Air Tites left, so these are mine at the moment.

Just don’t fucking touch them, alright?

(I kid, and lovingly at that, if it failed to come across on the page.)

 

[Kain8]

I use my $25,000 Horseshoe chip or my Pokerstars card capper.

Besides the chips in my cases, any of these niknaks have been used at one time or another:

 

[Jambine]

I use one of these in a cap.
Yes I'm biased, but it's just a stunning and beautiful chip.

 

[AceFour]

 

[mipevi]

Possibly the greatest chip ever made..? I was lucky enough to score one from EmptyPocs back in the day.

 

[dutty]

These are all great. I might have to buy myself a miniature gold bar

 

[Moose1242]

Some very interesting ones here about time to find me something

Craig, these are awesome. Are they just shadowbox trinkets that you have repurposed as card protectors?

I bought them specifically for card capers. Suvioniers from Italy. Madino glass or something like that.

Edit - murano glass from Venice

I'll post a pic of mine later but had to share the most entertaining card protector I've ever seen.

I'm sitting at my local track playing $1/$2 and a mid 50s gentleman that was a hoot to have at the table sits down and sets a little dump truck down on his cards.

It was one of those you can set it against a hard surface like a table and wind it back and then it slowly drove forward. I commented on it and he shoots a wink wink and says "just wait til I win a big pot!".

30 minutes later and he doubles up. As he rakes in the pot he gives me a friendly nudge as to say watch this as his face lit up like a little boy at Christmas with his new toy.

He puts a chip into the back of the dump truck, winds it back and sends it to the dealer to tip her. The table busted into laughter and she thanked him, put the chip in her drop box and winds it back to send it back to the man.

He was by far one of my most favorite random neighbors at a public card room table.

Who was that crazy loud pro who would make a big deal about his little shark, at a few main events back in the ‘00’s?
