Canceled The best sample set in the UNIVERSE (hyperbole much?) (2 Viewers)

[Greykin]

In...the...yoooooo-nee-verrrrrse! That is, if you're new to this poker chip rabbit hole and trying to figure out what's what.

So you've done a bunch of reading, and you're absolutely blown away by how many people here on PCF shoot bazooka-wads of cash out their asses. But what does this mean, and how can this be? And are you too destined for colo-rectal ejection of the contents of your bank account?

My friend, long before you get hugged in the face with that particular metal folding chair of sick, you probably need to figure out if clay chips are even worth it for you. The answer could very well be "Da fuq is wrong with you people?!"

--Do I even remember what actual casino chips look/feel/sound like?
Ohhhhh yeah...these Jack Cincinnati's will be your huckleberry!

--Ok, so how close do China Clays actually get to casino chips?
BAM! Emeril Legasse loves the taste of these Dunes tributes! (wait, what?)

--Alright, but I really love the graphics on ceramics...but are they too plasticky?
Tiki Kings say "Hush yo mouth child!"

--So Paulson's aren't sold to the public anymore, and people love/hate CPCs because they're clay but also different. WTF does that even mean?
Stinky Wizzleteats says that Key West chips are why he wrote Happy Happy Joy Joy. He'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!

--And what about plaques? They look cool as hell but are they worth the price?
Majestic plaques love you long time GI. Soul brother too beaucoup!


If you were a leaf on the wind, collecting the answers to these questions yourself would cost $112 plus transport from multiple outposts across the verse. (And that doesn't even include the lessons for grandma from by Mr. Wizzleteats!)

I'd be interested in just the plaques.

I'm going to give folks a day or two to see if there's any interest in the whole thing. If not then I'll PM you about splitting off the plaques and adjust the price of the remaining chip samples.

I think this is a brilliant idea and a huge help to new members.
May I suggest that you "rent out" this sample set like @jrs146 does with his CPC sample set.


Take $85-$100 as a deposit. And have the renter pay for shipping both ways. They keep it for at max, a few weeks and can get a "feel" for the different chips hands on. When they return the chips, you refund their deposit and then the next person can give them a try.

I would have never been able to get my hands on some CPCs without the sample set I borrowed without just shelling out the cash to straight up buy some.

Also, slow clap on your entire write up. Well done.

That's not a bad idea. If I don't get any interest in this sample set by the weekend I'll split off the plaques for Glacier and probably just donate the chips to one of the already running chip lending programs. To be completely honest, I'm happy to contribute to the new user portion of the community, but I'm not particularly interested in managing the back-and-forth deposit handling and shipping tasks involved.
