How many sets do you have? (5 Viewers)

[WhiteMamba1646]

6 tournament sets and 3 cash sets. all minimum 500 chips. 2 are over 1500 chips. total of 6000 chips. and i've just started collecting less than a year ago... lol its a disease

I definitely don't consider myself a collector. I have several sets... and I have had them for some time. I am even attached to a few and figure I won't ever sell them. I'm no collector. I use all of my chip sets. I rotate them into my games. If a set falls out of favor... because I like others better, that set will likely go on the for sale block... likely to be replaced by the next set.

well sir. We work with different budgets lol..........WAY different budgets

LOL...I just end up with sellers remorse. Then I end up trying to re-acquire sets I sell. Just ask @Perthmike

 

[ChipEnvy]

I am down to 10 sets. However like @BGinGA I have bought and sold more sets that I care to even try to recall.

I have 4 sets but going to get a 5th.

Started with a small cash set of Aztar Indiana chips (400) that grew into a 3600+ chip cash and tourney set of Aztar Indiana (all got sold in the last 9 months)

Now I have just these:

Micro cash set for $5 buy in games (Paulson solids ... 400 chips) ... my custom Gear Label set of Insert Coins poker room (I love this set). Cheap set to build
3 player Club Bahia el Casino tourney set (possibly BJ .... 80 chips) .... cheap fun little set
4 player tourney set (GOCC unicorn ..... 110 chips) ... another fun cheap set to build with custom Gear Labels
Vegas Paulson House mold cash set (1000 chips) .... not a cheap set at all (went way over budget on this, but its my ultimate dream set)
Future 1000+ chip tournament set (undecided on what I want) ... nice but fairly cheap because the Vegas set was over budget (Matsui, CPC or Paulson)

I also use all my sets, except the mini-chips, because they stack like angry cats. All use a different blind structure. Cashing in 4 (or more) consecutive appearances on 4 different chipsets is an accomplishment known around here as the Zombie Grand Slam.

Too many and yet not enough.

I can confirm the validity of this story.

One year on this site and I was in for 6 complete sets. Now in my second year and I’m still trying to find the bottom of this rabbit hole.

I have serious chip envy for the pr0n posted by many of these members. I am also not a chip collector, I am more of a "poker" enthusiast.
Before this site I had one set of chips that I used for about 10 years. I had chips, what would I need any more for?
Then this site happened.

I will never be in the class of these collectors and honestly don't know what I would do with a set that had 2500 chips. I host 2 table tourneys and 1-2 table 1/2 cash games so 8-900 chips does me fine.

Workhorse tourney chips - Key West


Most surprised set - Burro SunFly Hybrids. I'm not supposed to like these so much because they are relatively inexpensive. But they are becoming my favorite chips to play with.


Cash Set - Majestics, nothing special but they get the job done.


Relabel Set - Paulson RHC in the works, will have a 2 table tourney set ready to go in the next 30 days


Next Set - Paulson THC relabel set to replace the Majestic cash set
Next Next Set - Custom tourney set.

Although I don't have the sickness for chips like most here I 100% agree the hunt & the buying and selling are all part of the fun.

2 sets...
1) PCA Secondary Limit Set (1,000 chips)
2) Paulson Mixed PL/NL Cash Set (800 chips)

My group only plays limit poker so set #1 is our go to set. I built set #2 because I love chips and want to be able to support a PL/NL game if the chance arises. Unless I come into some significant chipping funds, I’ll likely stop here at least for the time being. But sure, if I could afford it, I’d love a 3rd and 4th set. I just don’t want a divorce.

Always looking for great chip metaphors, and this is a classic. Thank you sir, very descriptive.

I’m still trying to find the bottom of this rabbit hole.

As far as I can tell, there is no bottom. I actually thought I was closing in on it once, and damned if I didn't suddenly discover a whole bunch of adjoining tunnels that led to other apparently bottomless holes.

I like that this is turning into a pr0n thread...

 

[ovo]

I think @slisk250 started a thread like this. That has some good info

I need better pics, but my original custom ABS Zombies, followed by custom ceramics...

So... 15 sets. :wideeyed:
I host 7-8 times a year. I may be a chip nerd.

Those Pacific Star Bud Jones are fantastic! First time seeing them.

Right now I own one custome set of CPCs I did as non denomination with colors and quantities that work for cash or tourneys. That won’t do though so I’m planning on adding the following when funds allow:

1. Paulson set for 1/2 cash game
2. Custom CPC for cash with denominations
3. Custom CPC for tournaments with denominations
4. A custom set called “the Cooperstown Club” with amounts that match the jersey number of retired orioles as follows:
33 cents (Murray)
$2.0 (Frank Robinson)
$4 (weaver)
$5 (brooks Robinson)
$8 (Ripken)
$22 (Palmer)

I can recommend a good clinic if you want.....went through their course about 6 years ago....capped me at 5 sets

 

[allforcharity]

Uhm….

Hello and welcome!

I have one ceramic blackjack set, one cash set, working on two or three roulette sets, and have raw materials for about 4-5 other sets.

 

[detroitdad]

If the sale goes through I'll be up to 7 cash sets. I don't know whether to or too

I know you are just kidding, but in the big picture life is good if you can have 7 chip sets for the hobby you love.
So definitely

 

[Darson]

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!
