Long time no see... (1 Viewer)

Hi fellow chipaholics!
Maybe some of you still know me back from the CT days (same username over there).
I got bitten by the chip bug back in 2006 and have been "heavily addicted" until roughly 3 years ago.
Today i am rather a retiree than an official chipaholic. At least i was able to aquire some nice sets during my "time on duty". But a lot of stuff had to be sold as well. But selling belongs to this hobby almost as much as buying...somehow you gotta justify to buy more chips, right? Anyway, i am very sure that i will be holding on to my custom chips as long as possible so that i can pass them on to my kids.
There were just lots of other things happening in my live (moving to different towns, living abroad, having a house and family), basically all that typical growing up and becoming an adult with responsibilities stuff

By now i am rather selling than buying. But things can change, since i am just setting up a new home game.
A few weeks back i hosted my first game since years, for a bunch of friends of whom the majority are poker noobs.
Still i am quite confident to get them to enjoy the game and get deeper into it.

Anyway, i would like to say hello to all the old and new chipjunks over here!

Probably you don't know me, but maybe you recognize some of those:

Anyone knows why my google photos links do not work with the add image button?

That BCC set is one of my favorites. Love it. And somehow I don't think I ever saw the MD-50 set which is almost as beautiful as the BCC.

Welcome, Felix!

Welcome!

I always loved the Luckbox Lounge chips. Wish I had sample sets!

 

[links_slayer]

Welcome Felix. Love those chips.

 

[Mr. Cheese]

Welcome, amazing looking chips!

 

[JFCJ]

Welcome Felix, Great looking sets!!

 

[CdnBeerLover]

Welcome aboard! Indeed, those sets are nice.

 

[Felix]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
Regarding the MD50 set, I think I did not post as many pics of them as they deserve, since the chips arrived at Fabian for hotstamping while I was in India for half a year. Sadly haven't really seen the felt by now. I think only once.
Maybe I can provide some more pics after checking my g drive settings... Thanks for the hint BTW.
Regarding sample sets, I'm quite sure that there still maybe some available. I'll let you guys know what is available when I find some time to check my leftovers.

 

[Toby]

Awesome! In for sample if they are available!

Sweet chips, Felix! Welcome.

 

[12thMan]

Awesome chips! Would love a sample if available!

Nice sets. Is that orange Paulson really hot stamped or is that a clear lable to look like its hot stamped. Looks like a real hot stamp to me! Did you peal off inlay or mill them?

Those are actually Starbursts. I've removed the original hotstamps with rubbing alcohol. Then I scraped off the remainder of the impression of the old HS with a chisel.
Afterwards Fabian applied the new hotstamps, yes those are actual hotstamps, for me. He did an awesome job, especially considering that the chips surfaces haven't been totally flat due to the previous hotstamps.

Nice to see you aboard, Felix. I still remember shuffling your BCC Luckbox chips during the meet up in Bad Arolsen. Love the slightly higher click click sound of those chips.
If there are any leftovers (BCC and ASM) I would like to take a sample set, too.

 

[BGinGA]

Glad to see you again, Felix! Great sets, I don't think I've seen your Paulson hot-stamps before - very nice.

Please put me down for samples of the MGK and dia-sqr mold chips if you find sufficient supplys, both are gorgeous.

 

[Felix]

I have just checked if there are enough leftovers to provide sample sets to some of you.
The good news is, that i have a few (meaning very few!) sample sets of the MGK chips, which will each include one of the 25c hotstamps as well.
The bad news is, that i have only 5 leftovers of the blue MD-50 chips. Since i need these to have some replacements left, i cannot give away any full sample sets of them.
I still have 6x pink, 12x orange and 21x grey (sorry for having forgotten the exact names that ASM called these colors :* ), that i could give away.
I will not accept any "orders" yet, because i do not want to violate any selling-stuff-rules that this forum may have. If i found out about them, you will see a proper thread opened by me.
Everybody who asked for samples in this thread (before this post) will be served first when time has come.

*pls excuse my probably over complicated sentences*

I'm in for a sample if that occurs. Nice Chips and Welcome back!
