After all my chasing of sets, buying, selling and quite a large loss of money figuring out what I really liked. I ended up with two sets of chips with one more coming soon. All under the Aurora theme. I have no doubt I will be buying other sets in the future but these will be the chips that hit the felt on a regular basis.

I have 900 of the Hot Stamp chips arriving within two weeks and have just ordered 400 more of the $5 chips and 500 of the $1 chips from the cash set.

(I will have lots of racks available soon)

Back to basics.
How long do you think you'll hold out? O/U 3 weeks

My chipping funds almost guarantee it will be over. Yesterdays CPC order depleted all the funds.
 
I was recently looking at the pictures of your new chip storage cabinet and was thinking that after this past week you might have some empty shelves. A very nice cabinet which will look great with your Aurora themed sets. You can spread them out and display them properly. AS you know it is not always about quantity and more about quality. You have some nice quality chips! We have both come a long way since trading the GV's back and forth.

I have not been bitten by the customs bug yet because I cannot think of a theme that I would want. Right now the Las Vegas bug has me so I might as well go with it. After the Meetup I will probably reassess my collection.

Great going Pat, the sets look great and looking forward to seeing you at the All in at the Alamo!

Dibs on any PNY fracs :)
 
Ill have 600 $5's for a 1-2 NLHE single table game and 800 $1's for a 2-4 limit game (will be getting 200 more) with enough chips for two table .25-.50 NLHE

The Hot Stamp set can cover three table deep stack tournament ( will be getting enough to cover five table tournament )

That set has a permanent place in my cabinet so that will not be one to make the cull list, but I will buy your hundos. I only have 4 barrels and could use them!

I only have 10. I can't sell them. Eventually I'll sell the set. I need those to go with it. I wouldn't mind stumbling into some of the blue frac's though.

Careful. Attending these meet ups is very addicting. Three years ago I went to my first meet up @Jeff . It was so great I have since attended 9 meet ups. This summer I'm attending two meet ups within three weeks of each other.

As for a single theme. If embraced properly can be awesome. I personally like to have multiple different themes to be able to rotate different types of chips into play. As themes go. I think your nailing it.

It cost you some money but I hope the process was fun. That's what it's all about here right?

Your absolutely right. The journey of building a custom set, or chasing/building a casino set is fantastic.

Outstanding....pics?

Nothing special, I just happened to watch the movie again the other night and remembered I had seen the same kind of chips on eBay so I grabbed them. I cant seem to copy the add pics.

they are just a paranoid type inlaid chip with a triangle inside a circle. Ill take a pic when I receive them.
 
Love the theme. I haven't made it to Alaska yet but I serpent a chunk of time in the Norwegian arctic and fell in love with the Northern Lights.
