Thanks, Larry!Beautiful! IMO, by far your most impressive set to date.
Does anyone know what year these chips were put into play? They don't look like they've seen much use.
I think the last time I played a tournament there was 2003, and the older series was still in use then...
I think most chips that enter WW's vault are like the Hotel CaliforniaBeautiful set of ACF, I hope they will be back at home in the future ...
Beautiful set of ACF, I hope they will be back at home in the future ...
They won't. Sorry, not sorry for your loss.Beautiful set of ACF, I hope they will be back at home in the future ...
The asshat clause still applies Tom.
Sick
As long as they're in the community I'm a happy camper !!!The asshat clause still applies Tom.
Almost 600 racks of random chips. I feel much better about the almost dozen racks I’ve bought and sold finding direction in my first build. Good luck.Rambling thoughts about the next phase of my chipping, my own thread seemed like the appropriate place for it. Please skip if you have no interest in it.
And just like that, 8.5 months into my chipping journey, my initial list of “grail” wants is complete. I use quotes because the notion of “grail” is highly personal, and completely up to an individual’s tastes, means and associations. Some chippers are Nevada fans; others are Cali fanatics, even if they live across the pond, like @PocketAces; some love ceramics; and don’t even get me started on the TRK contingent.
There will always be more chips to buy, that’s for damn sure. With new vendors finding gigantic new scores that rival even @TheChipRoom finds, and with veteran chippers and newcomers alike finding scores from closed casinos, there will soon be new sets for everyone to own.
Personally, I think I’m moving into the “editing” phase of my journey. There are still many sets I covet; like The PCAs, the Aruba’s and The Artichoke Joe’s, to name a few; but I feel like a filmmaker who’s shot thousands of hours of footage, with a story hidden in there somewhere, but no core film in sight.
The goal over the next few months is to edit heavily; keep the sets I absolutely love, edit them into breakdowns that make sense for games I might use them in, add-on racks or barrels that will complete them, and discard / trade things that don’t.
I’m at almost 92 sets now, which is absolutely bonkers. Many are playable, others are incomplete, and some are just way too large. I also have almost 600 racks of “random” chips that were bought with a vague sense of “this might make sense for something”. This editing phase includes crafting a number of mixed sets, hopefully, all with their own themes / stories.
Finally, cataloging. Just for my own benefit, I’ve been working with a software development team to create a cloud-based inventory / cataloging system for my chips, and once it’s working well, I plan to release it for free to anyone who’d like to use it. It allows you to pick everything from mold to spot pattern, to colors, and if the chip already exists in the database, it will auto-catalog it for you. It handles everything from cataloging which core set a rack might belong to, to which mixed sets it could potentially work with. There’s even a “suggest a chip to fit this progression” tool that we’re working on.
In version 2 of the software (which is about 5 months out), a 3D rendering engine will allow you to see your chips in real time, as long as the inlay is already in the database.
All this to say that most of my purchases in the future will be limited to items that fill out my sets, and of course, occasional purchases of things that are too good to pass up!
Let the “editing” phase begin.
Can’t wait to see more awesome sets.
Pfffffft ... he’s only 89 ahead of me. It’s only a matter of time.92 sets! Sh!t!
Love the idea of software! Nice touch!Rambling thoughts about the next phase of my chipping, my own thread seemed like the appropriate place for it. Please skip if you have no interest in it.

where are these new vendors already? Show yourselves!
This is definitely some new next level batman tech here.
92 sets! Sh!t!
What about pictures of the vault displaying all 92 sets.Rambling thoughts about the next phase of my chipping, my own thread seemed like the appropriate place for it. Please skip if you have no interest in it.
