Here are my TRK Kings Crown cash set. I need a better camera.
(I have higher res images if needed)

  1. Zombie Poker Club (nepotism rules!)
  2. Nine Dragons
  3. Deja Vu (cash)
  4. Boulevard
  5. Golden Apple (tourney)
  6. Flying Pig
  7. Iron Bank
  8. Exit Only
  9. CPS (tourney). Not because they're particularly beautiful (though the T5000 can be argued), but because they were the biggest GB ever, and that deserves some sort of recognition.
  10. Toby's Everleigh "Dryer" chip. I know it's not technically a set, but I'm opening the door to a future of add-ons, and commems, without actually proposing much discussion. Plus, it makes me smile and weep at the same time.
  11. Terribles St. Jo's Secondaries. I love those hawt pink fracs!
Edit: New list later in thread....

Replaced TBD in my post (#33) with Terrible's St Joes. Revisions still possible - digging through posts from times gone by while watching Doctor Who, so I should be finished by sometime yesterday...

FYI I'm disqualify this one. Everleigh had already been featured. And unless he puts the whole set in the dryer its not a "set" :)

Fair enough... Lots of discussion has occurred in previous years involving what qualifies for the calendar, and "sets" always wins. This keeps brilliant designers from adding on 1 or 2 new chips and getting their set featured again (thus denying a 1st timer entry to a less-brilliant designer). I think it's not right, because as I look at my calendar 1st thing (well second after the alarm clock) every morning, I am looking at something astounding. I don't care who made it. To know that Ben's $500 supernova will never adorn my wall makes me a little sad.



The STJ secondary fracs are the best of all Terrible's. I have 8000+ STJ but not one of those purdy fracs with the blue spot. I have trouble sleeping...

These are not mine of course they belong to MrWhitti in Switzerland

Those are the ones! Changing nomination to secondaries now. I don't know who has the largest set (or the best pics) to be featured, but those are the chips I :ah::kh::qh::jh::th:! (That means I flushin' love them)

I have had to make yet another revision. This time it was while digging through the archives, and while it may have been featured in a CT calendar It is not on the PCF calendar list, so I'm going to add it, and officially remove the "dryer chip".

  1. Zombie Poker Club (nepotism rules!)
  2. Nine Dragons
  3. Deja Vu (cash)
  4. Boulevard
  5. Golden Apple (tourney)
  6. Flying Pig
  7. Iron Bank
  8. Exit Only
  9. CPS (tourney). Not because they're particularly beautiful (though the T5000 can be argued), but because they were the biggest GB ever, and that deserves some sort of recognition.
  10. Crystal Park CA (cash)
  11. Terribles St. Jo's Secondaries. I love those hawt pink fracs!
Further updates may be forthcoming as I proceed on with due diligence.
 
What about the PCF tourney chips? Haven't seen them mentioned and it kind of makes sense to include them.
 
I'm not very good at taking pics but here they are. Great job woody!

The faux gold ring on those really makes them a tempting addition. So many great sets, only 11 nominations. I need to get Mrs. Zombie to make an account...

In all fairness there was a calendar discussion thread some time ago. I'm not sure if you ever mentioned it there but it would be the best place to plead your case. There wasn't a lot of input for change so things have stayed the same.

IMO unless at least half the set was being remade (maggini card room style) I don't think anything needs to change. Otherwise we'll probably end up with the same sets year after year. And don't forget there will be a dedicated month to HoF entries so sets are going to have the chance to featured again in that.
 
I am going to withdraw the TRK KCs since I do not have them anymore and submit Blue Chip Casino instead. I'll take some updated pics soon.


 
Took a few more pics tonight.




 
That looks like it took forever, Tommy!

Not too long. Nothing compared to the awesome chip towers and other designs I've seen. Those must take many hours.
