next up, the one set that was supposed to make me forget about the Lakeshores, the Camino Casino. It's a phenomenal set - I absolutely love it. Some will be tilted by the variation in chips condition (between very well used $1 and the excellent $20). Just imagine this set in its prime...

Breakdown
100 x 25c ("AM" fracs)
390 x $1
400 x $5
210 x $20
80 x $100 (OG Oceanside Card Club $10)

Next, my WSOP tribute set, "Aces Showdown". Proof you can get vibrant colors from CPC!

Breakdown
140 x T25
140 x T100
100 x T500
140 x T1k
60 x T5k
+ a bunch of extras that allow me to cover two tables

I started collecting samples recently...it all started with these...but I have added a few more since (with a particular focus on Cali cardrooms), will update in due time!

Almost forgot…started a Cali BOH collection this year. Not very useful if you ask me. But the chase has been fun. This is just the start, more to come soon!

Hey @leo822 look, somebody else who needs an El Condor 50 cent chip!

Nice collection. Love me some Cali chips.

 

[liftapint]

Fantastic collection! Love it.

 

[leo822]

Phenomenal! Alex has a great eye for the good stuff. BOH collections is going to be epic

The BOH collection is actually the one that I am the most attached to now (10 unique barrels and close to 600 hundos split between 13 or 14 card rooms - I lost track), and I have found that collecting samples is somewhat more satisfying than chasing sets because it offers so much more variety. I didn’t get there on my own, can’t thank enough those who helped of course @leo822 @TRKingChips

 

[PocketAces]

Have added these Aztar to my BOH collection recently…

 

[PocketAces]

Big mail day today thanks to @JeepologyOffroad ! A lot of things to go through, but let’s start with the samples…

first, an OG Regency Cruise $100 joining the fam

Moar Cali samples…

…the Dave & Busters are gorgeous, but wtf?! And I think the Casa Royale $25 is a contender for best $25 out there despite the large inlay!

 

[Rbonus012]

This will be a fun thread to watch

 

[leo822]

The Dave and Busters chips look like the same type of custom order the Back Alley chips might have been? Very Cool.

I like the bright colors choices but damn it seems like there would be a mess of dirty stack issues there! That T100 and 500 are pretty damn close!

 

[PocketAces]

Some of my favorite hotstamps…

Antique Rose - one of my favorite $20 and probably favorite hundo!

Niles Point - would easily be the best h/s line up if it wasn’t let down by the frac.

Macon County - where are all the $25 hiding?!?

 

[PocketAces]

Cali v Nevada take your pick

coming up next: BOH!

 

[Bill_Man618]

I've found some inspiration for when I go back full steam into samples. Gotta finish my custom set first though

 

[PocketAces]

Cali BOH - completed barrels so far…I’m 3 chips away from completing #11 (Condor Club pleeeeeeease )

Ok last one for today I think…my chase for a grail continues…Its unlikely I ever get to a lot more than a rack of both…but I’m working on it. Let’s see which ones bankrupts me first.

Lakeshores v Silver Saddles is a match up comparable to Sampras v Agassi or Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (the movie). Thoughts?

 

[leo822]

Just stellar man! (SS hands down not even close)

Silver Saddle Casino chips will put you in the “ poor house “ first because they are almost
impossible to find in any significant quantity …

Those Casino Royale San Brunos are one of my favorite chips. I'd gladly throw away my dignity and self-respect doing whatever it took to get a few racks.
