I noticed earlier this month that I was approaching my 5,000th post in this wonderful forum and started to think of what I would use my post for. Well I have decided to use my 5,000th post to give back to the community.

Along my journey I have made many friends that I have had the pleasure of meeting in person and others that I have yet to meet but have shown to be great people, great friends and great chippers. I am not going to name them here because i am afraid I will leave someone out but I am sure most of you know who you are. The ones that I have met in person I met at a meet up. I am excited that later this week I will be attending the CC&GTCC chip convention and also attend the Zombie's "The Meet in the Suite" in Las Vegas. Here I will once again see some great people and also meet other great people in person that I have had the pleasure of communicating with over the last couple of years. All I can say is if you have not been to a meet up you are missing out!

Anyway, to celebrate this small milestone I thought I would give away some goodies. One lot for each of my 1000 posts. A total of 5 free giveaways!

Here is what we will be giving away.

1. President Casino on the Admiral Secondary - Starter Sample Set
2. One Shuffle Stack of 10 Historic Horseshoe Club fracs. (Casino Used)
3. One Setup of Gemaco Silver Dollar Casino - Tukwila, WA
4. One Setup of Piatnik Bridge size Internation index cards
And last but not least....
5. The "David O Favorites" Chip set which includes a couple of chips which started my Las Vegas chip fascination along with three of the chips that make up my Las Vegas Mixed set. All chips are Casino Used

  • 2nd edition Tropicana $1
  • 2nd edition $5 Chip
  • El Cortez 25¢
  • Dunes $5
  • Flamingo Spotted Bird - Yes that's not a typo. My all time favorite chip and I am giving one away!!! Please do not faint because I might!
How to win:

Anyone who wants to enter all you have to do is give us a brief story of how a fellow chipper helped you in the past. Maybe that chipper sent you a free chip or finally sold you those chips to complete your favorite set. Let us know who that chipper was so we can enter both you and the chipper who performed the good deed into the drawing. Let's call it a "Good Karma" Giveaway!

I will cover any conus shipping and will work with international winners!

  • One Slot per person but if a someone is mentioned again as a helpful chipper they will receive another Slot
  • Total Slots will be 1000
  • Entries will close at 11:59 pm on Tuesday June 27th. (when I get back form Vegas)

WINNERS!!!

Drawing #1 - Winner is @PAZ


Drawing #2 - Winner is @Anthony Martino

Drawing #3 - Winner is @oONemoOo

Drawing #4 - Winner is @moose

Drawing #5 - Winner s @Fleming


The entries were closed at midnight and we ended up with 148 entries. What a great group of folks! Seeing that 1000 is not divisible by 148, I gave all of the rest of the spots to the PCF Community. Meaning if one of those spots wins @Tommy can use that prize for a giveaway open to all members of the community,

So the usernames were entered into the Randomizer and each slot received 6 numbers. (Last a slot received 4 to ensure a winner for each drawing)

The numbers also appear next to the usernames in alphabetical order toward the bottom of this post.

Drawings start tomorrow as stated in the OP. Good Luck to All!

...and if you win something that you do not need or do not want, please pay it forward to a newbie!

Thanks David! What a great idea!

I would like to nominate @Stas . I had purchased a couple small heads up sets worth a few hundred dollars back in early December 2016. We could follow the tracking through about the end of December but the chips never made it to the US. I patiently waited till the middle of February. Without me having to ask out of nowhere I was refunded my full amount with an apology for the chips not arriving. He never asked for me to pay half. He never asked for anything. All he said was "sorry here's your money back". For a seller to ship from half way across the world and take that kind of action without being asked is above and beyond.

The crazy part is within 5 days of the refund I received two notices on my door. The tracking labels had gotten wet and unreadable. The chips arrived safely and I immediately sent him his money back.

Thank you @Stas.
 
Awesome Idea thanks!

I have two:

@atomiktoaster - gave me a Par-A-Dice dealer button to go with my set and I use it all the time.
@PAZ - I was looking for a few CPS chips to swap out and PAZ graciously sent me what I needed so in turn I passed on what I didn't need to ekricket.

Good stuff thanks all.

Love the giveaway and a chance to day a small thanks to 3 upstanding guys who deserve some recognition.

@Trihonda for doing a giveaway similar to yours where I was able to acquire a sample set + dealer button. Also a host of a great meetup every year and let me crash at his place for 2 nights.

@Jackstraw for acquiring some racks for me and having a dealer button shipped to his house. In both cases he just waived the shipping even though was one international.

@Jeff for offering to hosting @abby99 farewell game as my place isn't big enough to accommodate the almost 30 players that showed up. For WCB one of my favorite meetups ever and to top it all off he recently gave my wife some scrapbook furniture and asked for nothing in return.
 
@Ray-Col , his renders are incredible and an asset to this entire site. To put it simply: Thanks! The amount of hours you have donated to the members here who have undoubtedly filled your inbox since you first started posting your handy work is very kind, on top of that I have seen you constantly turn down offers of payment in one form or another, very selfless. Here's hoping you get something cool out of this!
 
I got addicted almost 1 year ago and purchased my first chips ever during the Cleveland Horseshoe extravaganza. Basically bought as many chips as I could justify to my wife, with a little forethought to practical cash and tourney use. After the first sale and having seen @BGinGA make numerous recommendations for tourney structure and chip set breakdown, I sent him a PM asking for some advice on how to try and fill out my set on the next sale. Felt like it was a long shot to get personalized advice.

I was almost shocked when I got back an extensive analysis of my sets with THREE different options on how to add on/upgrade my set to make more functional and optimally utilize what I had. I could go on explaining how helpful this was, but this is too long already, I'm sure. Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised. I told him I owe him, and he said no worries, just pay it forward for the good chipping Karma. (y) :thumbsup:
 
@David O You're a great person and a great chipper that shares the same addiction for old LV chips. You have helped me so much over the past year that I couldnt have built half of my sets without your help. Really happy to join the PCF crew in Vegas and meet you and the other fellow chippers at the Zombie's party :D (y) :thumbsup:
Thanks again my friend, You are THE "Good Karma" guy !!!
 
@kmccormick100 knows that I'm obsessed with one particular chip, the Grand Casino Gulfport $1.
Once, he noticed a couple of them on eBay for a low buy it now price. He snapped them and immediately sold them to me for the price he paid. On another occaision, he sent me one, totally free.
I've never met @kmccormick100 and our only interactions are essentially a couple of small chip transactions, but he's gone out of his way to help me.
 
I know I'm going to miss a few people. Most recently @upNdown helped me replace a missing 500 BCC Fun Nite chip. Thanks dude.

@ChaosRock and @Psypher1000 for their in depth help and answering 150 PM's about color flows for my upcoming Bourbon chip set

Can I name PCF'ers for non Chipping help? @Poker Zombie for being on call to help me whenever I have a question about cooking techniques.

@p5woody for the awesome work he did with me on the bourbon chips. Dude answered about 75 emails, usually within a couple of hours.

@AK Chip for his help with posting shit on eBay for me

Yes of course you can mention non chipping examples.
Awesome Idea thanks!

@atomiktoaster - gave me a Par-A-Dice dealer button to go with my set and I use it all the time.
@PAZ - I was looking for a few CPS chips to swap out and PAZ graciously sent me what I needed so in turn I passed on what I didn't need to ekricket.

Good stuff thanks all.

This is not my original idea but a revamp of other threads.

I will be adding all of the names that have been mentioned except for mine:D
I would hate to bink my own giveaway:eek:
 
I'm going to try to make this a short list, David's only opening it up to 1000 slots...
  • @Tommy. PCF. 'nuff said.
  • @Mr Tree - I haven't been to every meet-up, but I've been to a number of them and he throws the best and most selfless gathering imaginable.
  • @Mrs Poker Zombie - I know, this feels like a cheat, but I have multiple sets with a total cost reaching well over 20% of my annual salary. Without her support, I'd be a sad guy with a set of labeled dice chips. (also, nobody tell her how much I spent on chips)
  • @T_Chan - what he saw as a scrap of fabric became the Zombie Air in-flight poker table. His generosity got that scrap from Vancouver to Nashville.
  • @Don Clay - The Lucky Gambler events have been a blast. The stuff we chippers do for a chip prize is insane.
 
I will nominate 2:
For loaning me his CPC color sample set , helpful for my choices for my 1st custom order, which became the Boardwalk Card Club B molds (and he of course was sent a free sample set),
@RainmanTrail
And, for getting a PM out of the blue offering to send me free, a hotstamped. TH&C chip he found with my initials,
@ChipEnvy
 
I wish I could nominate @David O for all the things he's done for me. The group buys and helping me consolidate my international shipping. I am truly grateful.

@Don Clay for always shipping extra chips whenever I got anything from him and for the You! Lucky Gambler giveaways.
@BGinGA for constant chip breakdown advice!
@Tommy for well, all of this!
 
@Ray-Col... Outside of his renders and videos for Group Buys, I've seen him spontaneously produce beautiful renders for people working through ideas for their own custom sets.

Hours spent improving his color match and renders for the sake of accuracy, and then using it all to help random chippers in the community work on their ideas. That's huge community contribution, to me.
 
@slisk250 not only found two barrels of elusive Terrible's snappers I was looking for, he refused payment. Awesome gift!
@pokerplayingpisces gave me souvenir chips from several of his trips to Vegas, runs a great home game, and is an all-around awesome guy.
@brianb10 drives a long way to play my low-stakes poker game, brings tasty treats to the game, and has donated a bunch of clothes to a clothes drive my wife does at our church. Nice!
@PAZ - one of the most generous guys you'll ever meet.
 
I've got to nominate @PAZ as well. Always generous, always willing to send out chips without being asked. I think very early on I was looking at a set of china clays, mentioned as much on the old blue wall and Paz messaged me out of the blue asking for my address. Before I knew it I had an amazing assortment of samples at my doorstep. China clays of several varieties, ASMs, Paulsons, even a few ceramics, and of course a custom Paz dealer button.
 
I would like to nominate @Godzilla28. On top of consistently being an excellent person to conduct transactions with, he also selflessly agreed to purchase an entire lot and handle a split for me when I had a lot going on at home. He is a great guy and an asset to the community.
 
@Shaggy got me started on collecting chips, he showed me some samples and then some chips from his $1 CASINO chip collection. I was hooked after my first purchase, and yes, this is kudos as I would not have my awesome Custom Music Shack set if he did not start me out.

Yes and I won that sample set in the PCF drawing. Nice set!
