Hi All,

Fell backwards into collecting poker chips. Bought some off someone local and wanted to see what they were worth.... and then I found the Poker Chip Forum..... It was all down/uphill from there.


I started with these chips that I bought 15 years ago

Then Last year I found more Isthmus chips. Sold them. Bought more and filled up my 2005 Isthmus collection. I was also GIVEN ALL the $5,000 plaques from a member of PCF. This person saw my wanted ad and paid for the shipping. I truly realized that this was a community and not just a forum for people to sell things.

Then I wanted an everyday set so I bought a few sample sets and liked the pharaoh's. I had to have all the plaques too.

Then I saw stas selling some Casino De Praga chips. I visited Prague while on my euro trip 8 years ago and it was one of my favorite cities so I had to have them. After receiving these I knew I wanted more....

Then I saw some modified rounders chips... 2K Canadian later including shipping and custom fees.... &^$%&$*$^ .The plaques and dealer button were a Christmas gift from the wife.

This brings me to the Boardwalk group buy. I had never looked at the GB category before...Boy am I glad I did. Picked up a tourney set.

Scouring eBay for the next best deal I come across something that would make my new everyday set even cooler. 20K starting stacks with a 5K bundle of cash... Just like the ones Jamie Gold donked off in High Stakes Poker.

After watching the classifieds almost daily... who am I kidding Hourly... I finally caught the Blue Flamingo bug. I started a mixed cash set.

Then the add on group buy for the Hot Stamped Atlantic Club.

And that's it. 1 Year, a supportive wife, a son that now sleeps with Trump Taj poker chips. 4K chips later and here I am.

Thank you PCF, it's been a hell of a year.

Very nice! Pretty impressive collection. You've got a little of everything too.
 
Nice! Check back with me in 11 months....at my rate, I might be broke in this first year. But I bet I'll have some great poker chips and supplies!
 
Great collection! I love the Isthmus too; it's on my list. And I love the cash bundles! I never thought of that, but I bet they're a lot of fun to play with. I may have to look into trying that myself.
 
Amazing journey, well done. Those Casino de Praga chips are interesting. Where did you find them, and do you mind sharing how much they cost?

Ya I love the feel. I believe they are bud jones. Got them on here from STAS. paid 1.20, 1.30,1.40, per chip for the 5,25,100 and 500. The 500's are 43mm
