Does it ever stop? (1 Viewer)

So I thought I was okay with my set but then I see there is a Panda KGB set available...

In theory I should save toward building a small Tiger Palace cash set but the Panda KGB is in the same colors as my current tourney set so I really want to get them...
 
They are all lying, yes it stops

Ah, the life of a poker chip collector and maker—where joy comes in the form of endless stacks of clay discs, each set more essential than the last. It starts innocently enough, a casual hobby, but soon spirals into a black hole of financial ruin and regret. One minute, you’re admiring a vintage set from the 1960s, the next thing, you’re convincing yourself that a custom-made, gold-foil inlay design is a “necessary investment.” And why? Because your universe might implode if you don’t own every possible color combination of a poker chip known to mankind. Sure, you don’t need it, but need is for people who can’t continue, need is for losers, you have to want it to succeed.


Let’s not forget the sheer thrill of constantly chasing the perfect set—a pursuit destined to never end. There you are, surrounded by boxes and trays, each new set promising to be “the one” that finally completes the collection. But the dark truth? There’s always another must-have release just around the corner, pulling you deeper into the abyss. Friends stop calling, bank accounts dwindle, and your living room looks more like a casino than a home. But, hey, at least you’ll be ready if the world suddenly decides to turn poker night into a global sport.

What’s that? Another limited edition set? Well, looks like family time is overrated anyway, let me get you my paypal account info so I can purchase 2 of those limited sets, one for me and the second set for me, just in case I need it, or rather, in case I want it later on...

IMHO it just comes down to the excitement of receiving boxes in the mail.

You sound like extremely upset at this and seem pretty new basing on your joined date

I curious what have bought till date so far? Maybe it a case of buyer remorse?
 
This is how I feel about the arena of poker chip collection . . .

There is just NO SATISFACTION. This is the main problem for me. I can’t find happiness with what I have at any given point. Constant state of chip turmoil for years now. There is literally no fu&$ing end to it. I’ve tried to quit. Failed. Tried to quit poker. Failed.

I’ve now accepted I’m here forever. In some form or another. Having some chips, more or less.

Go the cheap quantity route. Bike tires and ceramics. Old ASM. Used CPC relabeled.

Just accept it, it’s not the chips, it’s us you miss when you leave
 
$10 a chip really helped me to put on the breaks.

If prices drop, I'm right back in. So it never really stops, there's just a period of remission.
