People here at PCF seem to not understand that chippers are an extreme minority in society at large. What tilts one of us is not noticed by 100,000 other people.

Just because the other 100k people are wrong doesn't mean we shouldn't try to correct the injustices of the poker world :)
 
I'm mostly joking, and I understand why it's done obviously BUT I STILL HATE IT. Nothing worse than a good movie scene (or like I was watching the Sopranos poker episode recently) and the entire scene is *ruined* by the dice chips coming into play.

SAD!

I haven't watched that scene since I got seriously into chipping, but Syl screaming about cheese and sticking provolone in his socks so it smells like that guy's sisters' crotch would make up for it every time :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:.

 
I would be lying if I told you I hadn't spent ~$500 on those exact chips on multiple occasions, of course this was ~2004-2005 before I had heard of CT or PCF...
And yes, I still have all 1700 of them along with the 3 wooden cases..... I just can't let them go. :unsure:

Love that scene.
And yeah, when five chips come out in a casino scene, it’s awful. But they’re right for that scene. I mean what kind of chips do we think some mid-level mafia guy is using for his underground game? Probably those.

You're missing the 500 (?) count box that looks like the top (1000 ct) version, but is only one layer deep. That's the one I bought on eBay for $23.50 (box only). These were quite nice.

The trophy itself seems to actually have improved over the years. Now they seem to be gluing their signature home chips to a trophy. In earlier seasons, there was a glass sculpture version, complete with glass replicas of the chips. I can't seem to find any images on the interwebz, all evidence was probably destroyed to protect the offenders. :bag:
