Awesome chips! That Nevada hundo is the BOMB! I've never seen a chip where 4 colors of edge spots went around the chip like that with only 3 spots per side. Supremely cool!

Hope you wore at least two pairs of rubber gloves to clean that $500. That sucka was NASTY! Looks great now!
 
Another small mail day here. Whilst the wait for my chips to leave NYC ever continues I've bought a few odd chips. My first 2 purchases on this site were some $1's from @Hammer2171 and another member. But they were not full barrels and my OCD was nagging at me. @David Spragg had that exact number in stock, it was meant to be :LOL: :laugh: Super fast shipping as usual David, thanks!
Now just have to wait for the other 94% of my set to depart US shores.

Been having some pretty great mail days lately.

Never thought I would go after a Paulson colour sample set, but, here we are now.

Also picked up some nice plaque examples.

Living in France means I should grab some jetons and BetG samples, right?

The Jessie Beck samples made it to my place in Canada, and my parents forwarded them on to me here. I had to murder a couple as soon as I saw them.

Nice score (particularly on the colour samples)! Let me know when you're done with it... you'll only have to ship it one country over! :whistle: :whistling: :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Also a Canadian ex-pat. Whereabouts in Canada are you from?
 
Then I saw that I had missed out on the cards mold group buy. Though I wouldn’t have participated , since shipping was going to the US anyways.
Thrn I saw the ACF tributes, and decided I needed to get a set made up. The problem for me though, was that the T1000 chip is a workhorse, but is fairly plain. I tossed around a few ideas, and then asked @Kid_Eastwood to work his magic on a new 1k variant.

I then also asked to change the base colour of the 5k to be like Paulson Mexican Rose and the base of the 25k to be like Paulson Blue Grain.
Here’s the results:

Can you spot the Paulson chip in the stacks?

The colour samples were already on this side of the pond too! I even doubled up on variants of the same colour, variants on spelling, older samples of colours and a few others. Have tried to fill in the gap with some more that will be shipped to my north american address. Missing 7 colours now I think. (Also have colours not listed elsewhere? Fire? ZUE?)

I’m born and raised in BC. Angouleme here in France is actually quite similar. I really like it here.
 
Here’s some more tribute/authentic pics.

If anyone wants to sell me some more authentic 500, 5000, 10000 and 25000 chips to compare, please feel free to contact me. You know. For science!


And quick initial impressions on the cards mold chips is that they are an insane value purchase. The matte rolling edge not only looks immensely better, they also feel and handle so much nicer!

Colours are bright and vibrant. I have a LOT of chips, and honestly, these are looking like a sleeper game changer.

Hopefully getting them in play in a few hours, so will have more to report later.

Interesting !
 
Finally some time to sort the random mail.

So much gratitude for these. Was on the receiving end of tons of generosity this week among chippers.

Huge thanks to @pacmartine @juankay20 @Windwalker @GenghisKhan @mipevi @Eloe2000 for looking out and surprising me with some sweet chips. And again, thank you to @Himewad for running the massive button buy. Very well done. Really takes the edge off what was a very hectic week for me :)
