Worried about actually playing with my Paulsons? (1 Viewer)

Highest I've paid for playable chips (not collector singles) is $95/chip. Twice.

Please tell me theres a thread with pr0n dedicated to scrub donkeys that paid idiotic amounts of money for single chips

High denomination chips from closed casinos, 43mm casino chips (especially high denominations), and old Nevada casino TRK high denominations command premium prices -- mostly due to scarcity.

If I was just going to look at poker chips, then I would just hang up pictures of the chips that I like. Or better yet, buy sample sets of the chips that I like and put them in a display case to look at forever...even touch them once in awhile. But there is no way in hell that I'm gonna spend a bunch of money to just look at chip sets...nope. Seems so foreign to me to even consider it.

It was very thoughtful of you to put some on display such that your can can enjoy seeing them as well.

The poker table is just out of view.But when I roll over in my poker chair, it works great for seeing the whole wall even the ones on the bottom. Plus when the poker table is put away, then it's great to view from the couch.

The photo of Clark and Mary is the highlight. "Can't see the line can you, Russ?"

I would just play with the chips you have, they're pretty resilient. But, you can also buy more!

Another option would be to buy spares. I don't know what a barrel of CDI's cost, but just grab a barrel or two of each value and replace them if something happens. Of course, that would have to be cost effective for you.

I believe in the theory of spares

I do not allow myself to be emotionally attached to ordinary inanimate objects.
I bought a motorcycle, I ride it
I bought chips, I play them

I would say that for me, it’s because of the emotional attachment that I get more joy out of using such items (and why I’m willing to pay a certain amount to acquire some items).

I paid $10,000 for my current road bicycle and I have ridden the snot out of it the past three years. I get pleasure out of looking at it, but I get far more emotional fulfillment each time I ride it. I’ll ride that bike until it dies and I sure as hell won’t be able to re-sell it for anywhere near what I paid.

The same applies to my grail chips. They’re awesome to look at, but the pure joy comes out of getting them into play and sharing that experience with friends around the table. Frankly, I wish I could play more!

Whatever they’re worth once I’m done with them is far less important to me than the joy they bring while I have them and from the joy I get using them.

You guys clearly get it, I can only wish I had enough games to wear down my chips!

I have a hockey card collection that is probably worth very little, but when I sit down and look through the old cards it brings back great memories from a simpler time as a kid collecting them. Hopefully my son and I can spend time together with them sometime, and if a couple disappear or are no longer in mint condition it will be worth the time spent bonding.

Over the last 7 years I’ve put ~150,000km on three different motorcycles. Resale on bikes is low if you put miles on them, but it was worth every penny for the memories made, places seen, and people met.

All of my material possessions will mean very little when I’m old, but the memories attached to them is what will be priceless. Life is short, use what you are lucky enough to have while you can
