Again, quick shout-out to @Hobbyphilic for producing such great Youtube content. Thanks to you & PCF, I was able to reconnect with the chipping community after the demise of the blue board.

Hi, I'm Mike and i'm a chipaholic. Umm yeah, where do I even start... I suppose I got hooked from the get-go & I just didn't even realize or know it. Sort of like when a person who's never taken drugs before and the first thing they try is heroin, yeah that was pretty much me.
Around that time i'd never even been to Reno, plus Atlantic City and Vegas were just places I'd seen in movies. Yet as college freshmen, me and some buddies were able to go gambling at Cache Creek since it was a dry casino back in the late 1990's and their legal gambling age was 18. So basically, during my first experience ever gambling in a real casino environment I encountered these:

And ever since, these THC Cache Creek yellows have been my holy grail chip and the standard that I judge other casino chips against. With all due respect to the Grand Casino Gulfport and Olivia's $1 chips, I still truly believe that the obsolete Cache Creek $1 is one of the finest Paulson chips ever made.

Anyways, just wanted to say this is an awesome forum and I'm so pleased to be a part of the PCF community. Cheers, Mike.

So have you been able to grab any of those Cache Creek yellows, or any other Cache Creek chips? They are very nice looking chips!

yeah I'm trying to harvest another rack or 2 of the current house mold $1 chip but finding nice, sharp edge chips is difficult. I wish i would've known there would be a demand for these chips because they were in much better and newer condition 10 years ago.
Once the THC mold was replaced in 2003, I immediately despised the house mold chips. And I personally thought, who the hell would want a chip that has the casino's name in the mold? Yuck, right?

Guess I was wrong. Right now whenever i have time and the bankroll, when I do go play limit hold 'em at Cache Creek, I mainly play to try and save as many of these yellow beauties as I can from becoming bicycle tires.

My 1 year PCF anniversary chip collection was freakin' ridiculous. Never have I spent so much in so short a time for a new hobby. I hope you were wiser than I, fiscally, or at least more restrained.

 

[Just1Better]

I don't have a single yellow 1 in my entire collection, but those are very nice and now I want some!

I've been "financially restrained" from buying moar chips for quite some time now @allforcharity, in fact I recently couldn't pass up the chance of owning some Double Down hundos, and those were my first chip purchase in about a decade.
I'm not proud to admit it but I had to step back and re-evaluate my gambling habits, which is why I quit poker/chipping for many years.

I fortunately bought & acquired the bulk of my 3 sets around 2006-2010, prior to the chip market exploding. After that i just stopped buying but luckily, I never really had the need to sell.

Glad to know my videos are appreciated. I'm on a few communities and this is by far the most entertaining and the best - ON THE PLANET!

You got me started 2 years ago. I've been looking for a great community like this and made lots of friends with the same sickness I have.

I personally think that your videos are very informative & objectively presented. I can appreciate how you're educating new chippers on their buying choices, rather than just bashing certain product types/brands while only promoting others.

Btw @Hobbyphilic, i just ordered a Nanuk 910...

Yeah I saw one of your videos too and then found this place. Bad move.

Jessus. I have only 10 well used Cache Creek THC chips, and I just see that @CacheCreekCollector has only been here for a year, and I know he has several racks. Nice work!

Ha. You missed the auction for a rack of these on the house mold -- I was priced out of that auction.

 

[Just1Better]

@AWenger I would have been priced out of that one as well, but they are nice!!

Thanks @AWenger but to be fair, although I've been on the forum for just over a year, I started harvesting my THC Cache Creek chips over two decades ago. (Holy f@#k I feel old saying that haha.) As i said, the sickness grabbed ahold of me early at around 18.

@AWenger I would have been priced out of that one as well, but they are nice!!

@Just1Better, I was seriously stunned by how much some PCFers coveted these Cache Creek chips. It makes me feel a lot better knowing I'm not alone nor crazy, in loving the side paint colors on these yellow-clay discs.
