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.
