I really don't think there's a number on how many sets is too many. Diversity is a beautiful thing

Definitely need nice clays, custom acrylics, a hybrid set, and another set of custom acrylics. Threeveteen is probably sufficient.
I think you can take on the @Windwalker yourself, Frank. I'm just the Joker here.

I have a majestic set and would be happy with the ddlm from brpoker… paulsons and comparative chips are too rich for my blood…

See all the spaces between these sets and the additional rug space NOT covered in chips?
That means plenty more room for additional sets! Lol
(Of course that's only the tourney sets... zero chance all of them would even fit in the room at once)
And @wcsmik 8 of those sets are Paulsons, including most of that top row.

The problem with 9 sets is it’s only one away from 10…

I'm don't think I'm smart enough, or qualified enough, to directly answer the question. However, I have been hanging around here long enough that I can probably give you a good starting point to work from:
All of them are not enough.
All of them are not enough.
Let's see....
One cash set, limit cash set, and tourney set per mfg/mold:
• Paulson (THC, IHC)
• Blue Chip Co. (MGK, Suits, T-mold)
• T.R.King (Cap Dash)
• ASM/CPC (DiaSqr, Jockey, Cirsqr)
• ceramic 43mm hybrid (Web)
Looks like 30 sets, minimum. Could be a lot higher for some folks.
Or if wanting to only represent each mfg and ensure the three different set types are in the collection, just five big sets might suffice.
lol, nah.....
I'm thinking that "42" number might be pretty close.

I’m starting to think that anything over 0 is too many.
Maybe just join a forum with people who have amazing sets, make new friends, travel to their games to use those chips without spending your own money.
I’ve said too much.

I realized I hadn’t updated my list of sets, I am now at 10! (11 if I count my loaner set of mixed ceramics a friend is using)
Not serious answer: Never too many.
Serious answer: It depends on how you view your chip sets. Are they collectible as pretty to look at and maybe use once in a while items or are they necessary items for your poker games wehre you only want enough to spice up the game by switching out sets? If the former, see response above. If the latter, then it also depends on how often you have games and if you feel like it's a waste to have a set setting around if you don't get it into play often enough.
I'm at 11 sets. One is a tourney set, one is a limit set and the rest are cash sets that can handle 0.25/0.50 games up to $2/$5 games.

Right now I'm telling myself 2 niceish sets will be plenty. I don't know if I really believe it, but it's what I'm telling myself. I imagine that may change after I actually have two sets. "Oh, but these are both ceramic and I really should have at least one compression clay..."
How many sets is too many?
The answer always is: Two more than you currently have

This is only a question one's bank account/credit cards/lines of credit/home equity can answer. But officially, the answer is unknowable until every iteration of chip has been made.
.... Not to forget the space available at home ...
