My small collection.
From left to right.
A Hoover Dam Memorial coin that was a gift from a friend when he went there on a vacation to Vegas.
A suicide king figure. On the opposite side is the same king but with a regular face and not a skull.
A solid metal high quality fidget spinner. I got it due to my personal transition from an online to live player. I find I get bored at times in a public card room versus a private game and decide to get cute and donk off my chips finding myself bluffing into the nuts. Surprisingly enough, it has helped me maintain patience and discipline and not get cute raising it 6x the blind with J7s from UTG. I just play with if when a wave of boredom feeling sets in.
My old PokerStars cover I got many many years ago with FPP's. It's seen better days.
And last but certainly not least is a solid block of 300 series steel CNC machined into an Ace of Spades. It's very heavy, will never rust nor tarnish and has quickly become my favorite of my small collection. Not pictured is a hand made leather case with flap to close it for storage provided as well with the purchase. Made from quality Amish leather from leather workers in Pennsylvania.

Once again proving the WCB is the gold (or brass) standard that all other meetups are compared to...

Did you steal that from Doyle?

Lol wondered if anyone would recognize it. Nah it’s a homemade copy. I mean tribute.

I've got a couple of chips I'd use as a card capper, but no "special objects" yet.
Chips are somewhat ordinary to the eye of a non-chip nut and also fairly unpersonal (unless I'd use some of my customs), so I was looking for something else to alternate. I am fully aware that my choice of card guard might tell observant opponents something about my general play style, but with awareness comes the power to (ab)use the image you get, so I don't see any issues here.
This little guy here is on his way to me now. I'm curious if he'll guard me from bullets as well
Sadly paid more than I was really willing to drop for just a card guard, but there weren't any good alternatives. I wanted something Matrix-related and iconic enough to be recognizable by non-fans as well. Started out looking if I could find some glass figures resembling the red and blue pills, but nope. When I saw @Gunnar with his mini Jawa and remembered @k9dr's mini Jon Snow, I got the idea to look for Matrix themed Funkos.
Turns out they made four regular sized figures and one mini (which is absolutely hideous). And hooray, of those four, exactly Neo was already out of production (so I was damned to pay a collector off). Also seems like this normal size figurine (about 3.75" height) is borderline too big relative to chip stacks, but I simply couldn't resist, given the potential table laughter if I end up cracking someone else's aces.
I'll probably also pick up a much smaller Cthulhu figurine later.
But I had to have something Matrix related other than my custom chips to use as a card guard. I'm not even close as much a fan of Lovecraft as I am of Matrix.

Where does one get the air tight chip protector for a 43mm chip? Just need 1?
One of these 4 chips usually

Certified Legit. Used it twice and top 2 both times.
Oh I am jealous of that one. How did you acquire it?

I'll use the toaster as a stack topper / mascot. Card guard rotates between various 43mm chips, customs, show 'em, bounty, or a silver dollar.
It is!

Guess I should update. I ditched all the little trinkets in favor of my Scrooge McDuck. We're a Disney household and I grew up on Duck Tales so needless to say, he's become the de facto card cover.
