Btw is that a rack of Casablanca $1s in the last picture? I've only seen one rack before

You win the Sharp Eye of the Month award, for sure. Either that, or you have an unholy focus on Casablancas. Yes, it is. I have 160, IIRC.

Very nice, Larry. I've got extra Vineyards to trade for Vineyards if you can spare a rack of 5s as part of an exchange program. Looks like you need one more rack of real 3s to fill a birdcage, of which I have some spare racks. Partake of the wine first, then let me know! ;-)

P.S. Nice barrel of 500s, but I also think that lone 500 needs a new job protecting my cards.

Thanks. Another sharp set of eyes -- glad I was generally at the other cash table at Mark's, so you couldn't use your x-ray vision on my cards.

I have 900+ Vineyard $3s, 1100 Ace's $3s, and 1200 Ace's $2s, all mint, intended to cover limit games. Not sure which ones I'll keep, but that should be enough, since I generally hold limit games to 8 players max, for stud games. The Vineyards might be the ones to go, since I'd like the 2s and 3s to be from the same casino, and I can't stand the color of the Vineyard $2s.

That single Vineyard $500 will probably be my keeper. I'll probably sell the barrel shortly, one at a time, unless someone wants to unload beau coup bucks.

(Corrected last night's brain fade -- the 2s and 3s are Ace's, not Casablancas.)

I don't know what's more impressive - the collection itself, or the willpower to resist shredding each and every box upon receipt in order to gaze at the contents therein.

On multiple levels - well done, sir!

Thanks. Actually, the boxes aren't the original shipping boxes -- I packed them for the move down here 2-1/2 years ago. My van weighed enough that they weren't sure about letting me on the AutoTrain.

Awesome! How many years have you been collecting sets? Incredible! Please give me a week's notice before you start selling off... :)

Are those TRK boxes I see??

Joined CT in early 2007, and that was the start of my descent into the netherworld. Before that, I was happy with dice chips and 18 gram brassies...

Probably not -- I just got my first TRK set this week, and haven't had time to take them out of the box and fondle them yet.

Ah, my clown shoes! That's what I wear around the house.

No, I'm not channeling Mario Batali. Too much tennis led to a nasty bout of plantar fasciitis last year, and Crocs are a permanent part of the ongoing treatment.

Coulda swore I saw a box that said "Deadwoods" on it. On the saw I believe.....
 
Crazy amount of chips. Looks like you are having fun taking them out of the boxes again.
 
DAMN! That's the collection to benchmark against going forward.

Open to taking any extra Vineyard $1s or $5s off your hands if you would like.
 
My eyes are as big as saucers, and I have this sudden urge to buy, buy, buy!

Seriously, that's an impressive collection, not only for its size but also for the quality of the chips and its sheer awesomeness. Wow!

I'm going to bookmark this thread so that I can pull it up when some of my friends and family give me a hard time about my collection.
 
Ever since I saw your stacks upon stacks of USPS priority boxes you claimed to be full of chips, I've been waiting for this reveal. What a jaw-dropping sight for the chip set collector!

Now, start fondling those TRKs so we can discuss some trades! :D
 
Ok everyone, chill out, come to your senses. Let's be honest, the pics are not that good yet. We need the meat and we're gettin bread with one slice of baloney.

Who lives down there? Someone go be his personal photographer.
 
Wow Larry, not sure why they have been in boxes so long or did you just buy 70,000 extra chips? I want to see the pyramid you make with this. I hope you have vaulted ceilings and a boom.
 
Dammit, everyone already took my responses:

1. On the next episode of Hoarders: Chippers Edition, we meet Larry......


2. Can I get adopted and added to the will?


So I guess I'll just say

I didn't read all of Your replies and think I read somewhere else that you hate terribles. Any chance there is some MT secondary pron coming?
 
By my math a 21x21 at 66220 chips.

@Slisk - you can beat him by the time you make it home ;-)

I've slowed down since I hit 50 years old. Larry has double the chips I do and then some. Plus, his chips are the nutz. I do have a nice custom set on the horizon though :whistle: :whistling:
 
Nice Larry, but don't stop there, keep unpacking, more shelves , and make a list for us to drool over :)
