Hi All,
I recently started watching poker videos, which led me to see how players shuffle poker chips. That got me interested in learning the techniques, and I quickly fell down a rabbit hole exploring different kinds of poker chips, bringing me here to PCF!
I'm not usually one to create an account, as I tend to lurk for years, but I figured now was a good time to start.
A bit about me: when I get into a hobby, I like to go all in. During my research, I discovered Classic Poker Chips and started looking into making a custom set for myself… but then I saw the price
I knew it would be expensive, but since I just bought a house and have a mortgage now, I’m trying to be more mindful of my spending. Haha. I also saw their announcement that they are likely looking to sell, which is unfortunate timing for me since I’m just getting into this. Hopefully, they’ll find a buyer who will keep the business going so I can get a set someday in the future.
In the meantime, I picked up some Bank chips from Apache, since I play a lot of board games and wanted something without dollar signs on them. I see those are referred to as China Clays (they’re working well for now) but I just received my Rounders samples from CPC, and wow, they feel completely different. I probably shouldn't have ordered them because now I want a custom set even more!
Anyway, I’m excited to join the community and continue learning about poker chips! If anyone has any obscure resources to check out, I’d love to hear about them. I assume most of the common ones can be found on the site.
