At What Age Do You Start Releasing Chipsets Into Circulation? (1 Viewer)

[Goldfish]

I know @Colquhoun makes artwork out of chips, I wonder if he makes coffins too. That would seem to solve the issue.

 

[KHarp1]

Between @gen_degen and my contact list, chips should be taken care of.

@Machine any chance your wife would have ANY interest in a fat, bald crotchety old bastard?? I'm not trying to speed up your demise, just asking for a friend. No, not Matt @ParrotheadMZ I can't stand that guy!

I'm gonna set up a treasure hunt for my sets like national treasure. You gotta review all my posts to find the clues. Travel the world. Then once you spray lemon juice on a special issue of Cracked Magazine from 1992, the truth will be revealed.

Sorry but I already called Pete's.

folded or unfolded?

 

[Sprouty]

Oh and I only have three sets. Miles better love poker because he's getting them, he doesn't have a choice.

 

[Suited Connector]

Hang on to them. Maybe your grandkids will want them someday.

YOULL HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT...

Hmm…a coffin with built-in racks for chips.
Well done.

Anyone know how many chips a standard coffin holds? 39mm, not 43.
Bury the chips, Cremate me.

Better yet, cremate you, and then pour the ash into the compression clay mixture for a custom cash set. Then your friends can play along with you at the table for many more years to come!

Helluva idea. I wonder if @David Spragg has ever had that requested in a chip.

 

[WedgeRock]

I have a similar last longer deal with @Boother36

Interesting terms.

Seems the @TheChipRoom should know this...

 

[Felt_Lizard]

Exactly. I'm in my mid-50s and act like a 12-year-old all the time.

Hello, my name is Felt_Lizard.

I am interested in your ideas, and am considering subscribing to your newsletter.

 

[WedgeRock]

My son is instructed to contact @WedgeRock if something untimely happens to me!

Flat rate, $35/set.

 

[Cratty]

Flat rate, $35/set.

Dibs.

 

[detroitdad]

Flat rate, $35/set.

I don't care. I'll be dead.

 

[WedgeRock]

Did I say set? I meant $35/chip.

 

[JMC9389]

Nah fam, auction is the way to go.

Starting auction price for each set is 4k.

 

[Boother36]

I have a similar last longer deal with @Boother36

And my wife has explicate instructions to contact @mike32 for dealing with my chips should something unexpectedly happen to me!!

 

[WedgeRock]

@mike32, I need 140xJack Detroit $1.

Kthanxbai.

 

[TKEUofM]

My custom CPCs will be passed down to my boys.

For my Paulson retired casino chips, I’ve informed my wife of the estimated values and also to contact @WedgeRock to help facilitate sales here on the forum to keep them in the community.

Realistically though, I’ll probably sell off my non CPC sets sometime in the future to pay for something else or if I get to retirement.

 

[AlbinoDragon]

Deep down inside, I *AM* a 12-year-old boy. FFS, I watch cartoons half the time! Better entertainment than most of what's on anyway.

 

[AlbinoDragon]

[First, and as an instant response, so, sorry about the double post... I blame the beers from earlier this evening]


AFAIK, my nephews don't play poker, and outside of them, there's no family I'd direct my playable or collectors chips to "in the event". I *do* have my username and password for here (I should add my email for the 2FA now that I think about it) tucked in and around the cages with my chips... so someone could come in and at least let those here know. I have also given usernames for the folks here I trust so "those who follow" know who to contact so things don't go straight to Goodwill.



Now that I think about it, I should probably let *them* know they are on that list.

 

[LeLe]

Never ever give a though about this before, but I think I should at least leave a note for my family that these are collectibles that have some values and who they can contact to find out more information.

 

[merkong]

59 this summer. My current collection is fairly small; 6 or 7 playable sets. I'll watch the acquisitions for other reasons and my two boys (son and son-in-law) can handle it. The main issue is the art collection that lives in the poker room. I'm sure the vintage pinup girl artwork will be auctioned off to the trash man. Dammit!

 

[SpaceMonkey420]

I'm nearing 50 and have been collecting since I was five, inspired by my dad, who was also a collector. I've managed to whittle my collection down to zero tournament sets, focusing solely on the cash sets I use for monthly live play. My kids aren't interested in them, and almost all players (about 99.9%) don’t seem to care either, so I've been actively liquidating my collection over the past two years. By the time I hit 50, I hope to have just two or three sets that I actively use, and I try to list one for sale every few months. I find I'm much better at buying than selling.

I’m likely to sell my extensive Jack set next to buy more Bitcoin, but the fat hats (25+) keep me engaged in the game because they’re just that killer. I’ll probably give up on the starburst hunts soon since matching them royal reds has just become too difficult, and I’m considering stepping away from all set hunts altogether. It’s those half-completed poker sets that really frustrate me in my old age. Wait is 50 old? I think that rock outside is old, I probably won’t live long enough to see old. lol

 

[Taghkanic]

For me it’s not age-related, but game-related: What do I actually use and need, after the frenzy of my first 4-5 years of collecting settled down?

I no longer host tourneys, only cash.

I’d like to have one tourney set in case I ever do one again. But I don’t need more than one, let alone one worth $8-9K which only gets used on very rare occasions. That just doesn’t make much sense…

So I will probably now sell my “fancy” tournament set and make a simpler one out of my THC solids, just to have something in case.

For cash, after I made a custom set, I sold one of my favorites (PCR) for good money, and miss it. But I realistically only need one main cash set and one backup/traveling set.

I’m a host, ultimately, not a collector. I think that is a distinction among chippers—those buying primarily for use, and those who want to build a collection of many sets just for the challenge/fun of it.

There clearly are those who host a lot and rotate sets in and out frequently for variety. I just don’t feel that urge. If anything regs who don’t care much about chips don’t really want to “learn” a new color/denom scheme every other game.

Will I have to fold the back page to solve the puzzle? Oh wait that was MAD

Bill, @detroitdad I think about this a lot. I figured I would have fun when I retire, with the chips, but I know I will eventually have to sell. My step kids have no interest, so I might as well sell to people that would enjoy them. But what a chore, and what about the IRS implications ? I figure I would have to do this over several years. But in case of unexpected death, I've asked Chris @RocAFella1 and Herman @Godzilla28 to help my wife handle the chore, but I probably need to get more detailed about that. They might need to enlist some local help.
