Awesome photos... but I think your ESST may need a redo. They have to get fondled a bit more and exposed to the elements on @Windwalker island. No boxes. #makeawish for a personal pr0n paradise.
 
for me, this is a landslide. AS are nice. But ESPT are just sensational.
For anyone who may be wondering, there are literally no pictures (not even by @Windwalker or @Changster) that fully convey the natural beauty of ESPT. Sensational is the right word @liftapint. But AS are such a wonderful choice for anyone who wants to spend $4/chip rather than $7.
 

Omg! I don't think I've ever seen such clear vibrant shots of this set.

This set is stunning! Holy Fuck!

There's no weak chip here. Usually within a set, I'm thinking one denom or another is kinda meh. Every single one of these is amazing! Whoever made these color and edgespot choices knows their shit. God damn!
 
2 questions.

First, What do you do for a living?

Second, can you hire me to do that as well?


I run a small innovations think-tank. When companies / organizations / people / sometimes even governments are stuck with an issue they find really, really hard to solve -- it could be a product that's not working, a process that's broken, an experience they want reinvented, a campaign they need created, or even an issue they can't identify... they bring us in, and we try and solve it for them.

And..poker players are excellent problem solvers, so you never know. :)

I think the OP is taking the inevitable approach, which I described long before I knew such people (i.e. with both the money and the chip lust) existed:

If, miraculously, newcomers were already updated on the charms and value of leaded secondary mint THCs with shaped inlays, or TRKs, it would take just a couple of posts per person.
"I know visiting here eventually costs 10 grand. Any grail set available? My money is here. If not, fuck you; I 'll stay with the dice chips till one becomes available"
:D
:)
 
First delivery of TRKs came in, and they’re so damn filthy. But a nice ultrasonic bath should do them good. And a magic eraser? 400 more to go this week.

This post inspired me to buy a TRK set yesterday!!! Windy, if you want some rare sets I just posted a few sale threads. Their below "Fair Market Value" lol.

I am, as promised, on a moratorium of purchasing full / rare sets from the classifieds so that others don’t feel like I’m bulldozing! GLWS!

I won a tournament at Binion’s when I was 21 and was runner up in the main event at SQM last year so my poker resume is pretty much rock solid.

You've got some epic sets for sure. Are there any older chip sets you have your eye on?
 
Look for some BCC GCOP chips. You’ll love them as well as any Paulson set I think.
 
First and foremost I’d like to say congratulations on acquiring such an amazing collection of some really beautiful sets, truly top notch. :tup:
After reading through this thread, it just makes me wonder what got you into the world of chipping?

I fell into it accidentally myself. I started collecting WTHCs about 10 years ago and didn’t realize that this niche even existed at the time.
I played my first hand of 5 card draw with my grandmother 41 years ago and have been hooked on poker ever since. For me poker is social, competitive and it has brought me together with many interesting people over the years.
Chipping for me has in a sense become an arm of my poker experiences and brought me together with many many wonderful new friends and people I enjoy being with. It has also given me a passion for the hobby and become a very important part of my life.

I can’t speak for others but I’m personally always interested in hearing ones ultimate goals when it comes to this hobby. Some people collect and don’t play cards. Others are just trying to put together sets that are nicer than Hoyle drugstore chips and make their home games feel closer to casino quality games. Some people may buy stuff, stick it in an old shoe box and bury it in the closet for 20 years. Everyone has different reasons.
When I started collecting my WTHCs, I was stepping up from dice chips and I loved the look of the $1 chip in that line up. At that time, I was paying about $1.10 a piece for those chips. Crazy to think it took me about 4 years to complete the set to where it works for me now. Fortunately I stumbled on to this great community of PCF folks when I realized I could no longer find my WTHCs for sale anymore. This community helped me over time finish what I started with that set and I’ve embraced this community back trying to be a good contributing member ever since. Many in this community have become more like family members to me than just that “such n such” dude on PCF, I truly love them like they were my siblings.

So after reading through your thread, it just got my curiosity up as to what this hobby is or may become to you? Do you ever think you’ll make it to a meet up? At this point what is your favorite set and why? What is your ultimate “GRAIL” set?
Will we as a community get to see these fine sets posted in some action prOn from a game you may possibly host or attend?
I always tell people new to the hobby to collect what truly “speaks” to them and you’ll never have any regrets. Based on the prOn you have posted, I don’t think you’ll ever have any regrets when it comes to chips @Windwalker.

Curious to hear your thoughts. Congratulations on acquiring some very nice sets and welcome to PCF.
