Hey Guys,
I've been lurking for awhile, but decided I have to join to feed my ever growing chip addiction. I've always been a casual player, usually just in small home games or with family playing with different versions of the 'official casino weight' slugged chips. After growing tired of playing with such bland/slippery 'clay' chips I knew it was time to start looking into some higher quality chips.
Thus far I've been more partial to pricing than I am to certain casinos or home-market chips, and have picked up a few reasonably priced deals on eBay. However, the more chips I find the harder it is to say no to paying more for some truly breathtaking designs. My first buy was a well used rack of 50 $1 The Club (Chipco) and 50 $1 Bremerton Lanes (Paulson RHC) for $45 shipped. I then scooped up a barrel of Gold Star Casino $5s (Paulson) for $10.50 shipped. I'm a big fan of the 'clink' of the Chipco ceramics, but the Paulson 'clack' is equally impressive.
The above chips have satiated my addiction for the time being, but every new listing on eBay or in the classifieds here brings more temptation. When you own so few chips it's hard to say no to broadening the collection, but I'd imagine that excuse will only last for so long. I'm looking forward to adding to my future hoard (Those old ChipRoom buys looked amazing) and to the great community here at PCF.
