"reached capacity" I'm not familiar with that expression. Can you explain?

I have more than enough chips. And while I never really had a specific budget in mind, I feel like have spent enough dough now lol

I know. I was just making a little joke. Personally, I have more than enough chips, and have had so for a long time. Several full sets that have never hit the felt, and several others in various planning stages. But I'm still planning a big CPC set for the near future. This hobby is a disease...

And then I am done

So that lasted less than a week… Maybe I’m supposed to keep working on this one? Which $1 & $5 though?

Is this going to be an ocean based only set?

PCA is technically a boat.

Ideally. Always wanted a cruise set, but there are very few of those around. Let’s aim for a “boat” themed set.

Empress $1 and PCA $5...riverboats.

 

[RocAFella1]

Sharp Empress $1 almost non-existent.
Discovery Cruises $1 and PCA $5.

Relabel some Paris $1s?

Sharp Empress $1 almost non-existent.
Discovery Cruises $1 and PCA $5.

These are all excellent suggestions.

If I were you I would definitely stay away from Fun Ship $5's for at least another 6 months. Arc Yellow on Red is such a terrible look.

I’ll admit I’ve said multiple times in the past that I thought they were overrated but PCA $5 would be perfect here, I agree.

If Riverboats (trusting TCG here) are in play…For the $1 I thought Harrahs Joliet, Aztar ?

This entire thread made me breathe more than I’m comfortable with……

can’t remember when I bought a small stack of PCA $5…maybe it’s meant to be…

 

[PocketAces]

Latest addition…Got to clean those $1 (and find more $25) but I think that score wraps up what I once hoped would be a « perfect » collection (for me at least)

if I had to narrow the perfect collection down to 3 sets they would each fit in one of these categories:
- Cruise
- Cali
- Hotstamp

If I had to pick specific sets…
1. Silver Saddles
2. Starlites
3. Silver Stars

Lakeshores, Indio Bingo Palace, RVCL, Regency Cruise, Yosemite Inn are not far behind though.

Ok so I posted that over a year ago and I think my answer today would be a bit different. If I had to narrow the perfect collection down to three sets I’d pick a set from a Cruise line, Cali cardroom/casino and Nevada casino. Regency Cruises, Lake Elsinore and Silver Stars got me there. I guess I can stop chasing sets like a maniac (for now)…

Also RVCL > Starlites

Explain.

 

[PocketAces]

Explain.

The bird annoys me now. And for that reason, I’d pick RVCL over Starlite.

No more Lakeshore wanted ads then?

Never say never but at this point it’s no longer a priority. I can say I really tried. Went all in on two sets this year and failed. I guess it was never meant to happen for me it seems. And honestly the Elsinore are quite phenomenal so…meh whatever

I appreciate you chronicling your adventures so far. The Journey is the best part.

This will last 3-4 weeks max.
Posting here so I can say I told you so.
