How many Chips do you own? (3 Viewers)

[TheRealTeddyKGB]

A few months ago my chip collection surpassed the 5000 piece milestone. I understand around here those are "rookie numbers" but I would love to find out what the average is.

(Here's most of my meager collection)

I realize @Benjaminotaur just created a similar thread but I'm looking for the sum total. Sets, singles, plaques, jetons you name it...

Didn’t realize I had over 7500 chips until I actually stopped and counted.

Currently planning an order of around 2500 which will take me over the 10k mark early next year! Was thinking about selling a set, but i’d love to keep them all forever. We’ll see, we’ll see…

I have to say my first thought was “do Tina and NAGBT chips count?”
Those kind of blow the “how many” metric out of the water.
You may as well ask how many grains of dirt do people own, lol

Between my Paulson and CPC sets and random racks, I've got +/- 10,000 chips atm, which is the most I've had at any given point until now. Frankly, it's way more than I need.

I'd also be curious what the make-up of people's collections are. I'd imagine a lot of collections have exploded in size with the influx of cheap custom Chinese ceramics over the past few years.

I think I got a good mixture of different chips

Total Chips about 12,000+

Premium Clays about 6,700
Casino-Grade Plastics about 3,000
Ceramics about 2,000
Mixed Samples about 200-300

I do agreed that’s too many chips than I will ever need them, I used to own way more Tina ceramic but since then sold off 3 sets as they don’t hold up that well after extensive usage.

One of my friends have been hosting at least 1-2 time weekly with the Tina chips for about 1 year now and about 40% to half his chips have spinners

I’m at a real low point right now with only about 2,900 chips spread over 3 cash sets and one small tourney set. BCC and CPC only

 

[Statesvegas]

I have more than I need, but less than I want. I really need to sell some of them. Perhaps with the new year.

In the meantime, I will continue to monitor the classifieds and likely make a poor decision or two.

Literally

I love how you've merged your love for HT together with your love for chip collecting. (I'm a Paradigm/Velodyne man myself.) I wonder if I can achieve such approval from the wife. I salute you.

It’s kind of remarkable that roughly 1/3rd of members own 10K chips or more (at the time of this post; results may change with a bigger sample size).

I suppose it’s possible that people with big sets are more likely to take the poll.

 

[Sprouty]

5k+ which consists of four sets. Two CPC and two Paulson. I used to have over 10k at one point but I really don't see the need anymore.

 

[BigJackJones]

I own over 5k in chips, but none of them are all that impressive. I guess I am waiting for Santa Claus to put a TRK or THC under my tree.
Coal is getting old.

 

[Littleluck55]

I didn’t realize how many I had until trying to figure it up. Way too many than I need. As I sit at my work desk right now, I count over 4,000 chips sitting on my desk. And all my sets are actually down stairs. So, just doing the math in my head, it’s north of 25k chips.

I have a broad mixture of sets: THC, RHC, ASM, CPC multiple molds, 36mm, Bud Jones, Sun Fly, Tina’s, China clay 8vs, and NexGen lucky bees.

I am missing a few manufactures, but the one that sticks out to me is TRK.

 

[allforcharity]

I probably have just a tad over 10k. About 2k of these are project/pre-project stage.

 

[Sparkynutz]

I bet everyone here didn't realize how many they actually had till they counted
More on the way too lol.

 

[ngmcs8203]

@Godzilla28 get to counting. I need to know how many you got strewn about.

 

[DirtyTIVA]

RHC 2700
THC 5200
TRK 2300
IHC 2400
Housemold 800
Ceramics 2000
Sample sets 50

 

[Pinesol13]

Too many......also, not enough.

You may as well ask how many grains of dirt do people own, lol

 

[upNdown]

I’m down to one 800 chip set, and I’m maybe 150-200 chips into a project set. That’s it. I guess I’m a PCF fail.
I’ve probably owned around 20,000 chips over the years, but never more than 2 or 3K at any given time.

 

[Tonysquander]

I am too scared to count…

 

[Rhodeman77]

Too many for how much I host. Guess I need to host more games!

 

[BPTDirector]

Added another rack yesterday. I can resist anything but temptation.

I currently have an almost equal number of CPC and Tina chips. Took me 4 years to create and accumulate my CPC sets. Took me 9 months to amass an equivalent number of Tina chips.

So yes, grains of dirt... sounds about right lol

 

[Josh Kifer]

Way too fooking many... It's gross.
