A new old chip for the singles collection:

Beautiful old-school shaped inlay chip on the historic H-mold.


(yikes, my desk is embarrassingly dusty over by the Nixie! )

2/4

So 4 racks per person?!

 

[BamaT8ter]

Nah. A rack each would do for a 4 chip-8chip game. Regardless, when has practicality ever mattered for poker chips?

You, sir, have no idea about the chip needs of the Michinits.

@tallsbutler They have been reunited with their orange brothers, all tucked away, ready for the next stud game!!

 

[tallsbutler]

[AK Chip]

[RocAFella1]

Moar please

It was mail day for my daughter recently. Thanks to @chippitydoodah for selling me the chips for her and tossing in the extra button and cut card to match! Sent her the cheap chip case, some 2018 WSOP cards, a couple extra buttons, and sent her a Skeletor with the understanding if she doesn't keep it, it comes back to me.

Also, I see she attached the led ring I gave her to the Mr Burns Casino button to light it up and I think it looks pretty good =)

I told @Saditsfact he could pick the chips for the next home game without realizing he literally ONLY likes and collects hot stamps. My hot stamp collection is still a work in progress, which left me with one and only one viable option

Now if I could only get him to stop randomly showing up at the house unannounced at all hours because he has some time to kill and wanted to take another in-person look at some random combination of chips. Here’s where he currently stands in his endeavor:

A work in progress… you have so many options it’s too hard to choose! It’s like who you rather play with AAKK double suited or AAJ10?
And then you keep adding new chips…which I may or may not have had input on… lol

Mail time!! Thanks for the trade @billkell , can’t wait to use these beauts!

 

[Stackme]

Catching up on some "mail"...

These "dirty birds" came back with me from vegas yesterday... along with a few other "hangers on," AND with a gorgeous Olivia's card capper gifted from a fellow chipper!

 

[Stackme]

M0AR mail! Nothing better than coming home to more chips I'm looking for! Thank you PCF!

I'm pretty sure a package that says "Please DO NOT BEND" is a directive to my USPS driver to fold, spindle, and mutilate.

The envelope clear says "do not bend" but says nothing about "don't drag across the street".

Good to see the chips survived what looks like a rough trip!

Recently received my Tina chip order and today was able to load them up in their new racks. Looking forward to the first cash game of the year.

Haha r those the real Wynn ceramic chips???

 

[Bronson]

Couple of things arrived today, this charming little fellow and samples of cpc hot stamps; I thought since cpc soon changing ownership it might be a good idea to at least get small heads up tourney set.

 

[Stackme]

I think so, if you're talking about the Chipco's Wynn uses for tournaments now... in this case PLO8

 

[Mushmanchuman]

Not from the mail but from the depths of a VFW clubhouse closet.

I always wanted a fun, little wooden limit set! It’s cool that this one is from the ‘83 state bowling tourney. From what I’ve heard that year was a banger!

I found a dumb octagon table too. That’ll turn into a $50 bill.

I’m gonna keep digging and hopefully find an old set of real chips…

The real question is, how do they shuffle?

 

[Mushmanchuman]

The real question is, how do they shuffle?

Better than 12 bottle caps, but barely. They need some varnish or clear coat.

OR EPOXY!!

 

[Mushmanchuman]

Brass flakes flowers and handmade laminated poker hand rankings! Doesn’t get much better from a civilian.

 

[BPTDirector]

Looks like a Kestel table, which are real nice octagon tables.

Was outta town for work for three weeks and this is what was waiting for me

These were an part eBay/part PCF deal.

...which turned into another PCF deal from a super good dude. Super chalky minty heavy ass goodness.

Next up is a haul from the Black Friday sale. Learned to play at Harrah's when I lived in NOLA, both my boys were born there so I have cool memories from that town. Needless to say I couldn't resist when I joined up and saw these.

Both hauls in a family pic. So happy with these they are fuggin gorgeous.

Thanks to everyone who helped you know who you are.

 

[Mixalot]

Next haul is from PCF classifieds and I couldn't be happier with the deal and the chips.

This is a KILLER 43mm set I love it. This was very well thought out. The more I study them, the more I can tell that a lot a care was put into the design. Even the denominations match the color theme of the chip, very cool. The pictures DO NOT do the colors justice. The 25's are little watermelon goodness. The 100's are super sexy holy shit, I love the light blue, lime green, and red edge spots. I'm all about a purple chip and the 5 hundo doesn't disappoint. Edge spot progression all the way through the set didn't go unnoticed either. The 1000 bear claw is super righteous, that's prolly gonna be the workhorse of the bunch. My favorite chip of the set by far is the 5K. I know a lot of people don't like a gray 5K, but how can you not like this one, it's a bad mf'er. Those edge spots are tremendous. The peach 25k rounds out the set with another killer edge spot design. Along with a sweeeeeeeet dealer button and a little bonus chip lol I couldn't be happier with the deal all the way around. Stay tuned for the cash set that will compliment this one. Thanks again for a great deal C I appreciate you can't wait to get these in play.

Yes, my wallet hates me.
