New to collecting, just saved a few singles here and there over the years. Picked up some from friends to use as protectors. Now interested in building/acquiring a playable set.
Looking for something I connect with. Lived in NYC, now West Coast.
 
Hello and welcome, you will find MANY that you connect with so guard your wallet well. You'll know you're too far down the rabbit hole when you are seriously trying to decide which is more important, food or those gorgeous chips. Personally I have found this hobby to be a great weight loss regime.
Good luck!
 
Welcome! What kind of set are you considering?
I'm still learning about the options.
Of the singles I have had that I use/d for protectors, I got a lot of comments on a 5$ cup from the defunct Turks and Caicos casino, I have never seen another.
I might find it cool to have a set from one of the nyc underground rooms of yore.
Or from a bay area or central coast California place.
Im curious how sets come to be on the market, and what is interesting to people.
 
Welcome.

Cash or tournament? Casino or custom? Clay or ceramic (or plastic)?

Budget?
Cash, casino or custom depends on design and history, I like clay, but I am ok with ceramic too, again design.
As far as budget, I'm not sure what is reasonable, been reviewing classified to learn.
What numbers of denominations makes sense for a full ring game, small stakes for dealers choice, up to 2,5 nlh?

Hello and welcome. Best bit of advice I can give is to time the deliveries of you purchases for when the wife / girlfriend / significant other is out :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

That is sage and wise advice, I'm lucky in that my SO lets me play with my allowance however I want!
