love the Club Courage butterscotch 5
This is one GB that I now regret not getting in on. The way I had been treated by BCC and the way things were going with them at the time scared me off. I had already been bitten once and didn't want to again.
It stings every time I see pics like these knowing I don't have a set in my vault.
None of my sets are really huge; I just have a bunch of 'em.
Excluding really old chips that never see play (2825 Prestige Pro, 3240 Las Vegas Pro), my biggest sets are:
20th Century - 2143 chips (Paulson, THC)
Grand Championship of Poker - 1539 chips (Blue Chip, TFP)
Empress Casino - 1489 (Paulson THC)
Oak Tree Casino - 1324 chips (Paulson, RHC)
Grand Casino Biloxi - 1217 chips (Paulson, THC hot-stamps)
President Casino Admiral - 1184 chips (Paulson, THC)
Also have 1000+ chip sets of Casablanca Casino, Casino Aztar (MO), Casino Aztar (IN), Par-A-Dice Casino, Starlite Casino, and Grand Cardroom hot-stamped Paulsons.
If I had to pick ONE pic of all the chips I've ever seen bud, this is #1 or #2. It's also on my top ten regret list (not following through with my purchase of a set). Simply beautiful.

I think that's the perfect description for many of us.
It was a true gamble.
H|Q,
Let's see those Trops!
I hate these things ... 99 chips ...I see, do you have a few extra chips of each denom in case one goes missing or gets damaged? You can't have 99 chips you know!![]()
OMG....had long post, gotta fix the formatting...will be back. BTW, is there a "Preview" button for a post before actually hitting "post"? I find that very useful. Thanks
Waaay back I had over 3,000 Chipco Classics, 3K+ Pharaohs & 5K plaques, nearly 4K 2005 WSOP replicas

Became addicted to Desert Palms:

Jim at the Chiproom put a trance on me and got me hooked on PCA's & Hwy 9's (9's from a Casino near me)

The sickness finally peaked with a decent set of Crystal Parks

After Chip rehab (came to my senses) -- sold off most. Have some CP's, DP's, Pharaohs, Tikis and a custom ceramic set never posted (someday maybe).
Sorry for the long post -- fun looking back. If this is too much Tommy, just tell me and I'll delete a bunch...no problem
OMG....
My wife tells me that I'm sick ....![]()
But yeah, all the sets I've owned I've played either during my monthly game or at various fund raisers I've hosted. Still have the addiction, but it's controlled now. For example I limited my purchase of the latest WSOP replicas (China Clays) to less than 2,000 chips!![]()
No pics yet but I have about 9000 Terribles waiting for me in AZ.
