Hello guys, new member here from Canada. Hope you guys all doing fine and safe. Wanna post some pics of my newly purchased sets to share the joy under our boring quarantine life. It really takes me some effect and time to put all those pieces together since I am located in Canada, as I need to deal with the customs, delivery delays, taxes...etc. But, here it is.
I had decided to go with CPC Rounders for my cash set as this movie is magnificent to me. When I watch the movie for the first time that’s when I start to pay attention to poker chips. For the tourney set, I had did some research and then ended up go with CPC Atlantic club Hot stamped, as I want something different. they are both beautiful sets. (Yes, I am using naked lady Paulson chips as my bounty lol. It really hurts me since when I see some good stuff at classified it is mostly us based and international shipping for 2 barrels is really a pain. So I take the easy way and went with Apache. The naked lady is the only NCV I found.)
the storage i decided to go with Nanuk based on the fact that I i don’t think I will buy a lot sets so I don’t need that much cases (at least for now, who knows), and nanuk is really good on protecting these chips away from moisture and damage.
First I bought the so called travel case, a nanuk 910. It holds 300 chip and a deck of card really well, and it’s super light weighted so I can bring my chips out with it.
for my second, the bigger case, or, the main case that I am keeping at home, I decided to go with Nanuk 930 which has the capacity to hold at least 1800 chips easily if you use regular racks and even more if you use tube boxes. I have 1200 for now so I added two hard form pads at the button of the case A to elevate the chips higher so it fits the cover tighter B to hold them in place so they don’t falls to each other.
The pads I used is cut from a regular puzzle mat that you can purchase everywhere. I did the same for the 910.
As the 930 comes in with two forms so for now I am placing 600 chips at each level. I am planning to get a custom set in the future so eventually I will remove one of the elevation mats and place three layer of racks for 1800 chips, plus the 300 chips capacity at 910. Therefore I still have room for at least 900 chips which I believe is enough fora custom set. (I have to say CPC really benefit from oilling).
That’s it! I am really happy with these purchase even if those chips will probably not in play for a while due to the quarantine. Here is the two cases toghether:
putting these pieces together is really a fun thing to work on. Really appreciate PCF and the members here, super supportive and helpful.
for those who are interested the card deck holder is from a website called playingdecks.com or something like that, it is NOT great, at least for the price. feels a bit cheap on the leather. But it does it’s job.
that’s it guys, looking forward to talk to you guys in the form and thanks for watching. I wish you all stay safe and healthy.
thanks.
