Thank you to @TheChipVault for a great first set purchase for me from PCF! I got a sample over Labor Day and got hooked on these. My (somewhat ambitious) plan is to relabel the pink Trop snappers into EA 25c so this set can flex from 0.50/1.00 to 1/2. I have no idea what I’m doing tho, so, I may be telling ppl to just imagine they are 25c for a while. I also went with the black 100s (light blue is also available) understanding they are close in color to the 25s, but I think they are fairly easy to distinguish and the purple on black is really nice.

It’s been great fun learning from you all. If I was smart, I would be happy with these and never check PCF again... But do I need a tournament set…?

Thank you for this! The trop snappers do not look bad at all! I may add them!
 
I'm happy for you, but I'm shocked!
I took a chance, and it worked out. I was hesitant. I did a group buy for some cards 5-6 years ago for some local CO members. A few things were messed up, and it took me forever to get it straightened out with them. I swore I was done with Kardwell after that.
But then these popped up, and a few members here have posted that they seem to be better (maybe under new management).
I gambled and it worked out!

I'm glad too.

It's good if they got their shit together. The NTP poker jumbo's I linked below are some of the best cards in my collection and they have a large supply of them. Shipping used to be ridiculous but they caught up and offer flat rate USPS shipping options to make it not so bad if you buy a few set ups.

Thanke to @TheChipVault for quick delivery on Chipco racks. Ace upgraded his travel case and wanted Chipco racks for a better, uniform fit.

A @Sparkynutz shuffle stack holder was perfect for the 10 oversized chips.

The plaque is a place holder. He is going to have my son design and 3D print a custom sign.

Ace is also looking for Isle dealer buttons if you have any to sell. He's also planning on having custom stickers made for the case exterior.

He's traveling this weekend with them, so plasti-dip will have to wait until next week.
 
Another joint venture with my good friend Zaki. I always need to show appreciation, and recognition of the time he takes to receive my chips, check and repack my chips. He treats them as if they were his own. It’s been going for 5 years and the man doesn’t SKIP A BEAT. He’s purveyed to me, at least $50-60K worth of goods, some of it ain’t even poker. So thanks man!

Okay…the MFRB was loaded with…

The final racks I need to complete my Tiger Primary (slightly mixed) cash set….thanks @DirtyTIVA for the hook up

I decided to take my PCA sec frac count to 200. These things still have dust on them, and they are chalky AF. Wow! Knives they are! Crisp! Thanks to @RocAFella1

I scored these $1s from @HebbNH and OMG, I am thrilled in person. They are actually very nice. I’ll keep them for some future build block for a leaded RHC set. (Unlikely, but hey, I got em got $225). They even have textured labels, which was a very pleasant surprise, and they are sharp and chalky. Just a fabulous score. Thanks @HebbNH

I also needed a single barrel of Tiger hundos to cap my set. I could not use the popular Claw NCV or Primary claw, since I’m using an NCV claw for the $25 spot. So I got lucky when @kk405 reached out and replied to my wanted ad, for the like the 100th time since I’ve joined. Thanks so much Ken! For helping me make my Tiger dreams a reality time and time again!

Not sure why I sprung for this barrel of beauties, but I’m an Empress fanboy. So I got em! Hahaha! These things are delicious, I may just eat them. We shall see. I won’t sell them a second time. They don’t really fit with my set, but I’ll just keep them. Thanks to @buffalojim for the connect on these!

Thanks to @ski_ex5 for the Pick Hobsons sample. So happy to finally get the frac on display. Always wanted one. Thanks Tim!

Thanks to @Okku for the cool singles. I’d love to know the backstory on the Abbotsford Sportsmen club. I live in the area, and I know nothing of it. Anyone? Thanks Oscar!

IMG_6898.jpeg


Thanks to @Gavin for the Lighted DBs. I decided to have 4 at my disposal, so one fine day when I hopefully land a home game, I won’t be short of battery power(so long as I charge em up) lol!

Lastly, thanks to @Rieguy for the hook up on this sweet Holiday Casino $100. He also threw in a $5, unbeknownst to me, so it was a pleasant surprise. Thanks Robert!
