I was going to send some Finnish goodies along too, but just couldn't find anything the morning of.

 

[Eriks]

I am truly humbled by senseless acts of generosity by forum members. @Eriks and I agreed to trade cut cards, and he sends me a sample set of his customs as a bonus. You, sir, are a chip saint.

Happy to see they made it safely. It felt appropriate to include a little bonus when you kindly offered to trade your 4 cut cards for my 2, thanks again! Only sorry I was out of extra $5s and $500s to make it a full sample set.

Don't worry, there were enough „goodies“ in the package.

Although they did not arrive by mail, I had my biggest chip delivery ever today. Thanks @MusicJunkie! It was great to meet you in person!

 

[RainmanTrail]

You crushed it with these @JMC9389! Thanks again!

 

[HaRDHouSeiNC]

Just showed up out of nowhere
Way too generous thank you

Yes, they're all BCC Protégé (Protege) chips from Sidepot on the Cigar and Sniffer mold. The Protégé line is an interesting case study in everything BCC could get right and the myriad issues that could arise when something was off. For example, almost all of the $5k chips in this set have a larger diameter than expected. This is a variant that @Joe Harris hasn't documented in the Protégé variant gallery yet. One $5k also has a smaller diameter than normal, although that could just be a one-off. I still love them, and they're great chips as long as you know it will be a journey to get a matching set. How difficult that journey will be depends on whatever your definition for matching is.

This set filled almost all the gaps in my existing set, and I'm stoked.

Part 1 of my parcel is here for my Chips + Plaques project

Personally I think the colour of these chips are pretty cool

Thanks @BarrieJ3 for the packing

Also a new additional to my Deck Collections

 

[TricycleClub]

Thanks again! @JesterTX

 

[anstossfreak]

Got my first IG chips. Some more to come for a playable set...
Great thanks to @JP1984
They are MIA for over two weeks at customs office but finally they made it.

 

[NA5CSPoker]

Looks like I get to be first! My new Paris 1s and Palm Beach 100s got here today. Aztar 25s a couple days ago. 5s and 100 more 1s should be here next week. Digging how it's lining up, sorry for crappy phone pics, but I was in a hurry to get em in play!

The 25 cent and 25 dollar have a different font than the 1 dollar and 100 dollar chips

A beautiful minty rack of 100s for the east. Love those Spots.

 

[Himewad]

Not mail, as they were all delivered in person at the KC Straddle. But some fantastic additions to my dealer button collection on Friday! Thanks to @Chawks45 for the KC Straddle DB, @bsdunbar1 for the PplPoker.com DB, and @Joe Harris for the two Protege DBs!

 

[Jeevansluck]

Received some more troops today to add to my sets. Very exciting and been waiting patiently for them and nothing like coming back from an incredible vacation to poker chips waiting in the mailbox. Thanks again @horseshoez .
***I have to be the skipping record and point out how much this man has helped shape my collection, and added fruitful friendship to my life. Thanks Zaki!***

Couple of singles to start with. Zaki sent me the Paris $2 and special thanks to @sheikh617 for hooking up a minty sharp “spotted bird”.



thanks to @TricycleClub for the minty rack of Sec IG $1s. I’m getting closer to my goal of having a playable cash set of these on my shelf…

Extra special thanks to @shleepytime for reaching out and offering up 2 racks of good/vg+ condition IG $5s. Here is a typical barrel…

Yep…getting closer to my goal. Primary $25s and hundos are in the mail….

Finally, I am super fortunate that nice chippers like @JMC9389 and @BarrieJ3 helped me acquire these BCC Caps room nickels to add to my set. These things are not photogenic at all, but trust me, they are amazing in person. I got 170 of em! Thanks Jeff!

Here they are with their brethren…

as part of my California solid scrown hot stamp mixed set. Well, all except for the $1s. The colors on the $1s don't match the color used by most other California card rooms in my mixed set. Thanks again!

I remember owning over 800 of these bpoe 1920. There’s some red chips with like a hub mold that went with them. I sold them during the blue boards can’t remember to who

 

[fishsaybloop]

Great mail day!

Thanks all who helped with finding these primary PCA hundos unicorns.

Love the Moonlight Cardhouse samples. Thanks @JeepologyOffroad these are even better in person. These will hang with the casa mango CPC samples ◡̈

Taking a step forward in the slow TRK journey. Thanks @chicubs1988. Where them $25 and $100s!

 

[anstossfreak]

Next part of my future IG set arrived today!
Great thanks to @puglia82

Delayed convention chips post:

 

[FDLmold]

Oooo, some nice ones in that group. I shouldn't be jealous of a chip called "International Gaming Operations", but I am, though only a little.

 

[Rieguy]

Most I've ever splurged on a chip, but it's my absolute favorite IHC out there. Other two need a cleaning but I dig the simplicity of the $1.
