How many sets do you have? (1 Viewer)

I think this is ‘peak chips’ for me. If I can find a little discipline, I’ll be trimming back in the next month or so.

7 at home and one on the way. I think I've got to the point where I now know what I like and will trim this down to a smaller number of significantly more costly sets. Of course, that's the plan - the reality will likely be very different!
Oh my goodness what a naïve little boy I sounded like in 2018. I now have 10 sets of clays (1xRHC, 2xTHC, 1xFHC, 3xCPC, 1xPromo & 2x TRK), 4 sets of plastics (2xMatsui, 1xBud Jones, 1xGemaco) and countless ceramic sets...
 
Every time I trim down, I ramp back up again. I was trying to go from 12 sets down to closer to 8, but I'm back up to 12 sets again. 11 cash sets, 1 tourney set.

Cash:
CPC 360 Poker
Crystal Park
Aurora Star
RPC/ES/Tiger
Nevada Hotel
Casablanca Mixed
Golden Broken Arrow

Tourney:

I’ve also tried to quit this place, a few times, with a high degree of failure, the highest infact, since I’m still here posting in this sick thread!

5 others in the works
nice novel but i prefer picture books.....
 
I went through my pictures and noticed that the main reason I get a picture of a full set is right before I list it for sale.

The other times were during COVID when we were all stuck at home.

Sometimes I'll get them out to take a picture if I have time and I'm already doing something with the chips, like relableing some chips and want to see the full line up.

Other than that I only get pictures of them in play or various racks here and there. I feel like it would take me a full day to take all all the chips and get picutres of each set. It would take @ovo the better part of a week lol. Where do you even store all those sets?
 
20 sets....not counting the mesquite star chips that are for sale
I have reached chip retirement now and bar some add-ons (rack of Bally's $5, rack of AS $5 & more Boardwalk Regency $1 & barrel of AC $25) and BCC Cap Room's...I AM DONE
Only took me 15 years ;)

@toothpic nice :p but you need more tourney sets ;)!!
 
@toothpic nice :p but you need more tourney sets ;)!!
My group has played 0 tournaments in the past 7 years lol

That's what lead me to sell my National Poker Series set. The Aria card mold tourney set is still in the wrapper and sitting around just in case we ever want to play one. This is somewhat of a saving grace as I don't need to buy up nice tournament sets like the AST or ESST sets. I feel like I'm saving 15k right there.
 
I also have been negligent in cleaning my chips, so I really don't want to post pics without cleaning first, and I really have no time. When I get a week off, (and @toothpic is right, it would take a week to take pics of all my chips) I am doing all the important stuff in life that I have no time for. And when I'm working, it's 60 hour weeks. Maybe when I retire in another 8 years or so

8 cash sets currently + 1 new CPC cash set on order. (The Mixed re-label set with the SB $5s needs a new $1, but I have something in mind).

For the first time in a long time, there's not a set out there on my "wish list." Will that change? For sure, but for the moment I'm pretty at peace with where I'm at. I'll likely have to pare this down a bit as it is, unless I feel like sleeping on the couch for the foreseeable future (my wife has asked me no less than 5x when I'm selling a set since ordering my CPCs and picking up the Tigers, lol).

Looking back to my first year into this chipping thing, it's been a heckuva journey! (Still wish I had the NPS and BTP sets, even if I don't play tournaments!)

Sounds like a job opportunity.

Help wanted: Temporary position to clean and oil chips. 40 hour workweek. Pays $20/hr, no benefits (except you get to fondle many awesome sets). Must supply own Ultrasonic. Job should take approx 3 years.
 
if it was important enough to you then the time you would find!
It's like calculating the weight of a black hole...gram per gram.

Most of you have no clue....but Ovo is one of those whales you don't really know they still exist.
 
In the midst of upgrading my “good” set feat. Apache Royals, but still having to rely on a large 750 piece plastic slug loaded dice set for more than 4 player games… ‍
 
I currently have 9 sets.

Cash sets:
  • Horseshoe Cleveland
  • Jack Detroit
  • Royal Princess Casino (RPC) primary
  • Tiger Palace secondary
Tournament sets:
  • Dunes china clay
  • Kash TSC Huxley (ceramics)
  • Paulson Pharaoh’s
  • Horseshoe Southern Indiana (HSI) secondary
  • Tiger Palace hot stamps
