What is Your Favorite Set on PCF? (2 Viewers)

[BPTDirector]

My 12 year old ASM’s but again nobody usually likes no. Denoms.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Aside from my own chips (I’m definitely biased), my favorite all time customs are:

Cash:

Hitching Post (@Mr Tree )

Lady Luck (@abby99 )
Clermont Lounge (@jbutler)

Tourney:

redbelly (@Redbelly )

 

[Irish]

My customs would of course be my favorite.

Some of my other absolute favorites:

Silver Dust Casino

Lady Luck

Knollwoods

And k9dr's GOT relabels:

 

[navels]

Also Mark's (@krafticus) Avanti Sino il Fiume ASM customs:

I decided I wasn't going to play, since I own seven sets that contain chips excluded by the OP.

But there have been a bunch of great sets listed, both cash and tournament. Of those not already mentioned so far, I'd include pretty much everything that Paulo has stashed away in the @ChaosRock hoard. And there's a LOT...

Fair point.

As much as I love @abby99 's Lady Luck set - and in the interest of full disclosure, it was either #1 or #2 on my most wanted sample set for years until I finally snagged it - if I were to take one custom clay cash set of someone else's right now it would be @k9dr 's Suicide Queen set. The mesh of spot pattern, inlay, colors, mold, and everything just subtly whispers "old school" in your ear (until the queen shoves a knife in it).

For my favorite custom clay tournament set right now, I'd lean toward's The Hitching Post by @Mr Tree followed very, very closely by @toad94 's [insert tournament set here], @Rhodeman77 's Treehouse set, and @Chippy McChiperson 's Nirvana Lounge set (pictured above).

For casino cash, as awesome as the aforementioned Trop 2nd's set of @ssanel54 is - and it is pure joy, to be sure - I'd actually have to lean toward the Riverside cash set by @gopherblue. I'm taking the set, the table, the pictures, the cut cards, the dealer buttons, and everything, and I'm fleeing to the North Pole where nobody can find me. This is the one small crown cash set that I've ever touched chips of where I'd be weak enough in the knees to own it.

That said, if it had more $1's (and I know it's going to get there eventually), I'd be sorely tempted to run away with the Trop 1st set by @41Pickup. I'm actually surprised I haven't seen it mentioned yet.

VERY honorable mentions in this category would be the Lakeshores owned by @RainmanTrail (pictured above) and the RVCL set by @softchewy.

The Oceanside Card Club set put together by @BiGGyT should also be mentioned. It may be used, but I love the consistent spot pattern and the overall look. Not to mention the effort and money it took to put together any of these cash sets!

For casino tournament, I'd have to go with the Paulson Aviation Club de France owned by [redacted], followed closely by the Argosy spotted tournament set which I can't seem to find pictures of right now.

In the ceramic category, the Paymaster set by @Mr Tree (along with the storage case and table) reigns supreme.

I also feel compelled to mention the Clermont Lounge set on the smooth plain mold by jbutler. This is about as perfect of a modern crest & seal-style set as I think has ever been custom made for a modern home game. Sets like this don't often get much run, but if I had to choose one set of cash solids, I'd probably grab this & run fast and far since we can't reproduce it today.

Seconding the Suicide Queens. I’ve only seen them in pics here, but the artwork and typography is top notch.

 

[Eriks]

I think these are amazing, @Josh Kifer ’s

 

[Pinball]

My top 5

Lakeshore Inn @RainmanTrail
Broken Bell @Tommy
Skittles Rainbow @Irish
Rosie's Bayou @slisk250
Black Diamond Ranch @Pinball

I know shouldn't vote for my own set, but I love it so much.

 

[Changster]

Wynn’s

Honestly?

When I first came to PCF, I expected to see a ton of high end chips at premium prices, and that's it. No in betweeners, just dice chips or paying through the nose to get a set.

And then I discovered this wasn't the case. That there is a middle ground, where people can buy a decent set of chips for their casual homegame without breaking the bank or having to find people who harvest live casino chips. A way to get away from dice chips without going bankrupt.

So here's a shout out to my favourite chips on PCF: the ones in the middle

Personal top 3:
1. Majestics
2. Milanos
3. Dunes

Dunes in the middle? Are you referring to Dunes CC? A friend of mine locally has a set of Milanos, they are great chips in the category of which you’ve described.

 

[loul13]

according to me :

Stardust poker mansion tournament set

Tropicana cash set

BCC Capital room

 

[MathijsVS]

Yeah, absolutely Dunes CC, originals might be just a bit more expensive

I got samples of Milanos and Majestics, went with the Majestics because I prefer the black inlays, and I love them for all the reasons mentioned above

 

[Chawks45]

Agree with others on @Irish's Skittle Rainbow set, which is just gorgeous to look at.

As for my personal favorite, I'm a big "Game of Thrones" nerd. Have to give a big shout out to @k9dr's 'Winter is coming" set. The execution, in my opinion, is flawless and straight fire.

The greatest all time custom set... Silver Dust Casino @toad94

Hey, I'm missing some of those addons

 

[BGinGA]

Are we talking real casino? or customs?
Hard to limit the list, but I'll just list a few of each.

A few real casino:
ACF THC @<°)))><

Paymaster @Mr Tree

Updated with photos from around the site.

If I had to stick with just six sets (that covered both cash/tourney with several different chip manufacturers and types), ^that^ would be a pretty damn solid list.

 

[Thionite]

Am I allowed to say my own customs? Don't have a picture of the real deal rn but here's the proofs ^^

 

[HaRDHouSeiNC]

With the opened vault and mysterious sellers these hot old school casino chips will most likely get hotter.
Show us what you have! I've been putting these together for many years and hope to add some 5's and 500's

So i see who has been buying up my $500 and $1k. I stopped bidding on them as they were just too crazy.

Horseshoe Mold set

I forgot a rack of $5k's in the closet.

Arrowdie Mold

missing in the pic is a rack of building quarters and another rack of hundos. Also I thought i had almost 2 full racks of green $25s, so not sure where those are.

Bud Jones WSOP

Binions ArrowDie / C&J > TRK
You cant change my mind
Id have a hard time finding anything that tops either of these. More history in one table than Ive ever seen

 

[Tjislost]

My customs would of course be my favorite.

Silver Dust Casino

What size are those oversized chips?

 

[Marhault]

My personal favorite custom set has to be @stevea Jokers Cardroom right now.

Outside of customs if I had to pick one it would be PCA's....I'm a sucker for my own personal nostalgia with them. This reminds me though I need to take some pics with my 500's now!

 

[BirdCage]

Another vote for the Skittles Rainbow by @Irish - without a doubt the one set that I'd love to play. A set that would never be boring.

[Irish]

What size are those oversized chips?

The oversized chips in the Silverdust set are 50mm.

 

[Jeevansluck]

I'm a noob, lots to learn and discover still!

That said, nothing wows me more than customs! People's wonderful creations easily trump the crap designs that GPI puts out, IMHO! (I know it's worthless, but customs rock)

I can't get enough eye contact with my sample sets of Knollwoods Poker Room, by @72o. Equally as tops for me, is "The Clubhouse" by @Rhodeman77 !!

Just a few days ago, I got a sample set of "Speak EC" by @krafticus . Just an insane set. I need more time to truly appreciate its beauty.
