I have been an active chipper since 2006. First found CT and now later on PCF. It was all downhill for my wallet since.
Got sets, got more, then some more. Now I've sold about half of my chips away. But during it all, got my first one made.
And now the Holy Grail is coming from
CPC.
My first idea of customs is explained here:

I have always loved WSOP secondary set and those 818 edgespots. It was not possible to get them, so luckily I found another route. A Group Buy.
With the help of these awesome chippers around the Globe I got my dream set made, on eof the last
BCC ever made. I am eternally thankful for everyone.

Now...the next one was and still is yet unbuilt. A custom tournament hotstamped set. Meatboy has the dies. This might be built someday.
My second had to be totally own custom set. And a ASM/
CPC set, since I don't have them yet.
I have always loved that Miami's Art Deco district and it's hotels. And my most loved hotel is Colony Hotel.
So, that was the perfect and obvious choice for the customs, Colony Clubs.
All explained here:

So it was love for 818 WSOP chips that got the first one going and love for Art Deco and Miami that got the second one going.
It will be hard to decide, what's next. AFTER I got my
CPC Colony Club tournament set done sometime in the future.
The only bad thing is, that our poker games has nearly gone. My friends just don't play that much anymore. So precious chips don't see the felt so often.
