Truman’s House was 2 sets - a 2000 chip limit set (snappers) and a cash game set (3400 chips). I can spread a 3 table limit game or a 4-5 table $1/1 game with the set. Probably all the way up to a 5/10 PL table if I really wanted to.Exactly ^this^.
I tend to view the new GPI-era custom THC/IHC chip sets in a relative vacuum, and disregard any irrelevant issues surrounding their appearance on the scene (including procurement method, quantity, availability, current market price, purchaser(s), or purchaser intent). Stripping away all the noise allows me to better appreciate the chips without any baggage, and just focus on the chips themselves -- design elements and cohesiveness of the chips and resulting sets -- as evaluated by my personal tastes and preferences.
To the best of my knowledge, there have been at least 20 such sets using 10 different themes produced to date (numbers which are still totally surprising to me), and likely there will be even more to come in the future.
Without naming names, here's a list (which is probably incomplete), with no particular order or name accuracy:
Member A -- Empress Star (3 sets)
Member B -- Aurora Star (2 sets)
Member C -- Harlequin (1 set?)
Member D -- Truman's House (2 sets?)
Member E -- Chicken Coop (1 set?)
Member F -- Big Top Poker (2 sets)
Member G -- Sunset Beach (2 sets)
Member H -- unreleased name (2 sets)
Member I -- Royal Princess (4 sets)
Member J -- Tiger Palace (4 sets)
Can I rank all of those 20+ sets in order of my preference? Sure, but what's the point.... I'd rather just enjoy them all for what they are -- which is mostly magnificent, and almost magical that they exist at all.
Besides, my pick(s) for Greatest of All Time GPI-Era Custom Paulsons (GOAT GECPs) probably isn't the same as yours. And who really cares?

BTP was a consortium led by Chicken who knew a guy that ran a small casino and poker room in NH and got GPI to make the chips as promotional gifts for his VIP players (in turn we all had to go up there and play a few times - Chicken was a reg and played almost nightly).At least two of those aka G & I were the same “member”
Forget who snuck in BTP
How amazing to have the final run of bear claw,
Supposedly they tried to order them with the RPC set and were denied.I keep hearing this, but does why does everyone keep saying this? How do you know?
A Christmas miracle would be unveiling @JeepologyOffroad masterpiece for us to die over. Maybe next Christmas.
A masterpiece would be very difficult to achieve with many of the best spot patterns now removed sadly
Tristadamus!You broke their machine with your wizardry. They were forced to decommission the Bearclaw after your artwork went through their system.
you got way too much money if you spent $1,434 on those lolMy wife just bought 6 of these without telling me. I guess I can buy something without telling her now. Fair is Fair.

If you don't mind sharing, how long did it take for GPI to complete your order?Truman’s House was 2 sets - a 2000 chip limit set (snappers) and a cash game set (3400 chips). I can spread a 3 table limit game or a 4-5 table $1/1 game with the set. Probably all the way up to a 5/10 PL table if I really wanted to.
Chicken’s set was 3 sets - limit NCV set, tourney set, cash set.
A few months - I don’t remember exactly but it was at least 3-4 months if not longer.If you don't mind sharing, how long did it take for GPI to complete your order?
I was thinking the same thing...I noticed the sale info threads for Primary, Secondary, and Tournament, but nothing has been posted about NCV sales-- will these be for sale with the others, or are they handled differently?
They will be sold via ‘Golden Ticket’ with the primary and secondary cash sets.I noticed the sale info threads for Primary, Secondary, and Tournament, but nothing has been posted about NCV sales-- will these be for sale with the others, or are they handled differently?
Perfect; we LOVE gambling!They will be sold via ‘Golden Ticket’ with the primary and secondary cash sets.
Doh! I was hoping to score the NCV separately.They will be sold via ‘Golden Ticket’ with the primary and secondary cash sets.
As like add on racks or ncv sets if you get lucky? Asking for a very very ncv interested friend…They will be sold via ‘Golden Ticket’ with the primary and secondary cash sets.
