Empty chip box collections??? (1 Viewer)

[Ben8257]

As time goes on the stack has been growing as we rack the majority of our chips. Still how plenty more with chips in them but curious to see... any one else have a ridiculous mountain of empty chip boxes? Here's ours!

(120) standard boxes
(19) CPC boxes
(5) original TRKs

I figure there is probably better out there??

Doesn't Finksburg offer weekly recycling collection? Stomp those suckers flat!

 

[Jeevansluck]

Stunning Ben!

Unfortunately not... you have to take it to the dump and recycle yourself! We still keep them for re shipping, sometimes chips we aren't using go into long term storage. Just curious, maybe I'm just a pack rat.. do most people throw them away?

Just about as many chips that come in, go out. I reused them all for shipping.

 

[FDLmold]

Yeah I have zero as well. I'm down to singles plus 500 leaded clays for poker plus 600 ceramics for board games, and that's my whole collection. I do have a TRK box I kept to put my poker money bank in.

I suspect that any boxes you might need for chips you sell will be more than provided by the boxes of new chips you buy.

Side bet?

I absolutely agree it is excessive, and youare probably absolutely correct Larry! Probably don't need quite that many!!

That’s what happens when you're always buying and rarely selling! My chip boxes pretty much all gone.

This. I keep all of my old chip boxes to reuse for shipping or store chips that I don't have displayed in Matsui racks.

I have a collection that looks like that except where you have Paulson and CPC boxes, I have TRK boxes, and where you have TRK boxes, I have Paulson and CPC boxes.

But otherwise, same.

THATS FRIGGEN AWESOME!!!

I think Ive used all mine to use for shipping. I only have a few left.

This one though Ill keep with the chips as its the Original OEM box for the chips.
Kinda cool piece of history for chips that old.

Man the TRK boxes look OLD Id keep those for the chips

Fun fact, hes actually Italian

Over time, I bought enough china clays and chips from TheChipRoom (no boxes included with either type of purchase) that I needed to buy a case of additional white boxes for when I eventually got around to selling stuff. I'm almost out of my new unassembled box stash..... but still have many thousands of chips. Plenty of acrylic racks, however.

 

[RainmanTrail]

I'm disappointed in your organizational skills @Ben8257. You're supposed to sort that shit!

 

[Lil Tuna]

I’ll take the TRK boxes if you don’t need/want them.

I have actually had offers to buy those boxes tuna, and I absolutely love them like everyone else. By far the best boxes

This reminds me I need to order racks asap....have about 50% still in cardboard boxes (40-ish racks).
Too bad racks are sooo freakin' expensive to ship.

What racks are best match for Paulsons, BCC & ASM (and cheapest option) ?

In my opinion the chipco racks that ABC sells are the best rack for the money. I think the list for $3.50 and Gene is very resonable on shipping. Apache carries the Paulson racks at $5 each but also get you pretty good on shipping. I own both and they are both extremely thick plastic and durable and about the exact same 66.7mm perfect for Paulson and BCC

The only thing is the ASM/CPC chips are too tight in these racks as the chips average just over 3.3mm each. It can be done but way too tight on the chips. From my understanding the racks sold by @dennis63 in the key west store are the bet for ASM/CPC chips.

Hope that helps buddy!!

 

[Thomacetti]

Thanks so much Ben...i'll contact Dennis for the ASM/CPC's and check what I need for Paulson/BCC chips.
Good reason to get all the chips on the table

Those chipco racks don't seem to get as much love but I promise for the price, they re really better than a $3.50 rack and I think Gene will help you out to get shipping resonable also! If you do order from them maybe think about grabbing a sample set of the Social distancing giant chips! They are an excellent conversation piece and also double as coasters!

They are hilarious and really really big! Haha

What racks are you using for the monster truck tires?

The bottom shelf of the book case.. lol

I am still planning on buying a STT and my father is a machinist. I was going to hit him up and see if he could fabricate racks for them. As of now we still only have 100 total chips.

Haha, I think those giant chips would be pretty inefficient to ship internationally, lol. International shipping is already bad enough for racks. I also do recommend those chipco racks though!

I just meant to throw a few in the box if you are already paying crazy shipping and the rack don't weigh much. Definitely be the only one in town with those monsters! Lol

Shipping for this was already bad enough!!
