You will need to post pr0n a showcase of these sets.
 
Just one...but hopefully that's soon rectified. I just got into chipping, so right now I'm rocking the oh-so-rare and sought after set of dice chips...but they're soon to find a new home with my college age kid. It's a good set for him being that they're durable and he doesn't have to care if drunk friends lose or destroy chips.

That being said, I'm really hoping to pick up a full set of Jack Cinci's in the upcoming Chip Room black Friday sale! Following that I'll probably get a set of ceramics from BRPro...the texture on them is meh, but I really love the designs.
 
I'm down to only a few sets now.

Cali Rounders custom tourney set
El Nido custom scrown cash set
Triple Barrel Poker Lounge custom lcrown cash set
Binions Paulson WSOP cash/tourney set
Crystal Park cash set
The Grove Bud Jones brass coin-in-center cash set
Burro's Horseshoe 43mm Sunfly Hybrid WSOP tribute set

and despite all that, I still feel like I have way too many sets! I mean, really, do I actually need 6 different cash sets and 2 tournament sets (I haven't even hosted a tournament since 2018! :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:)
 
All kidding aside, I was away from the game for over 12-13 years. Raising kids, caring for aging parents, running a business and too many other hobbies like golf and hunting. Just got back into the live game and just this past weekend hosted my first game in well over 12 years. Golf buddies. All poker players but casual weekend guys. I retained my 500-chip set of Paulson classics from years ago and I also had a 500-chip set of Paulson NPS that I used for small tournaments. Years ago if I ever hosted a small cash game with relatives, I'd use the 25s from the NPS as quarter chips and paired them up with the $1 and $5 from my classics. Worked well and gave me some versatility.

So recently my golf buddies encouraged me to host a game. If you know me, you know that I don't like doing anything half ass. If I host anything, it has to be done as well as I can possibly do it. We were planning to play a small tournament followed by a cash game and I just didn't think either of my sets would work well with 9-10 players at a table. So I went hunting. I quickly snatched up 800+ additional NPS chips to increase my tournament setup to over 1,300 chips. I then wanted to find another 500 classics to bring my cash set up to 1,000 as well but I just couldn't locate the right setup. I picked up 1,000 chip set of Paulson Jacks Cincys off of eBay instead for about $1,100. I didn't think that was too bad a price considering what I was seeing on this site for classics. I still spent a few bucks on chips but it's only money. My friends aren't very good at poker so I'll make that back soon enough. Already up $500 from this past weekend so not that much further to go. :D

So presently I stand at about 2,800 Paulson chips, in 3 different set varieties. My game plan going forward is to build out my original Paulson classics for cash and keep the NPS for tournaments. Given how expensive and rare they have become, I might consider a custom set instead? Might be fun designing my own chips and color combinations??? Once I settle on my preferred cash set, I'll likely unload the Jack Cincys. If I go the custom route, I'll likely unload the classics as well.

Nevertheless, it was really nice handling clay chips at a home poker game again. I'm sure you folks will understand just how therapeutic it is to shuffle quality poker chips while you are calculating odds or replaying a hand in your head. It was like riding a bike. Just a few attempts and the shuffling was smooth again all night long.

So that's my story. I'll enjoy following along with folks that have same/similar disorder.

Fantastically written Ben Book! Haha awesome story.

NPS T25s for quarters with my 05 CDI cash set, hoping to add another rack or atleast a barrel (I prefer 120 to 160 quarters on a full table) I have lots of the $.50s but most of the games we play are $.25/$.50 and while most say just play $.50/$.50 it's just not the same thing, not a huge fan of white chips and also gives the set a slight bit of spot progression, doesn't hurt that the yellow and purple match the AS $20s perfectly and I hate not having a green chip (my favorite color) in a chip set.

Awesome setup. And yes, I felt like writing a little bit this morning. A freezing cold morning, nice cup of coffee, and two dogs by your side, can bring out the Mark Twain in everyone. :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
Well, I finally got a family pic which is just missing a couple racks that are being shipped. Around 5000 chips total (yeah, no sets over 4000 chips ;))

I’ve got an 8th set in the works. Will be my first thc set. I have the $20’s sorted (Venetian $2’s), going to use flamingos as fracs. So just need 2 racks of both a $5 and $1. So still a ways to go.
