I was witness to a pretty epic deal between @Racer96 and @liftapint...over beers at a hole in the wall little neighorhood pub. Thank you both for allowing me to witness.
Oh, and my haul wasn't so bad either.

Was really happy to see this. Tracking went down, wasn’t sure what happened to it. Not entirely sure whatsup with mail, tried to send some stuff out and now the next two mail locations were closed during normal business hours. Euro chippers, it may be a rough go for your chipping needs.
Kids had to play outside, and I didn’t want to wait. Quick look, but had to run after a skinned knee. Will post in a minute, guessing most people know what these are.

What lovelies coming in from @Toby. This wasn’t just a snatch job for me (yeah ooc), I was actively searching a couple of these, and am glad to have em. Looking forward to meeting a couple of these owners this year at meetups! (Shitty pic, time for new phone)
So that was cool. But then this! I’ll just leave it at this, I appreciate the cool things people do for me, and I go really out of my way to help others. Lately, it’s seemed one sided.
Then Toby comes out of fooking left field with this. Unexpected. Not a free chip, not a note, not an extra sample. He included a tourney sample of my hands down favorite group buy/grail set, the BTPs, AND the hard to get ahold of and expensive Black Cats. Flabbergasted, and I mean that legitimately. I’ll PM, not enough room for thanks here.

Had to sell some bloody Wolverines for these. But quite the bonus!!!
Some day I'm going to get a 5 and a 8 sample.... Someday!
WE ARE FIGHTING.
I don't even care if this goes in the OOC...I fondled them last night and they are amazing!

Thanks to @Moxie Mike for this wee freebie. This was my contribution to his bounty set.
Still think my Rebel Wilson joke would have been the more courageous decision 
I never thought that I would let go of the Pick Hobson fracs. And I was positive that the Nevada Lodge 1/8 pie, shaped inlay $20 chips would stay with me forever.
Who knew that forever was less than 2 decades long?

I've not got any mail pr0n, but a good buddy and fellow PCFer was in my home game last night, after a very recent trip to Las Vegas.
He was super cool and generous to gift me some harvested minty casino singles I had requested. Thanks so much @LotsOfChips
I've already made cappers and put a couple up in my display cabinet. Casino coolness now mixed with sentimental value! #Lovethishobby
I especially love the Aria and Bellagio chips as I've seemingly missed them everytime there is a sale...thanks Bart! These went into the cabinet..

Sooooooo, what would make me decide that I could part with some chips that I thought would stay with me forever?
Noooo, those were just some samples from @The Chip Exchange sale that @Frank and I picked up. They’re making me contemplate putting a small set together though.
Here’s a better reason for trading away my hidden gems.
As I had mentioned in @navels sale thread, I’ve been living in France for the past several months, and have been fortunate enough to play in some events that these chips have been linked to.
I’ll admit, that these aren’t all mine. Some will be traveling with me to hand off to @albatros63 when I get back to France.

Mmmm hmmmm.
I can't show off the other porn, since I don't own them. But he will show off when he gets them returned.

This is the “mail porn” thread not the “my mate handed me some chips” thread. Please remove this post before you ruin everybody’s weekend.I've not got any mail pr0n, but a good buddy and fellow PCFer was in my home game last night, after a very recent trip to Las Vegas.

I don’t make the rules... I just enforce them
...... now, it may seem strange to trade 2 grail worthy racks of TRK chips (and a bunch more items as well!) for some ceramic hybrid chips, even if they have some really cool history.
And you’re right.
So, there’s more to it than that.

Are these off to see the whirly bird in the garage?Mmmm hmmmm.

Never. I'm not a monster.Are these off to see the whirly bird in the garage?
..... much, much, much more.
Incredi-huge-normous thanks to @liftapint for working with me on this massive trade. I can honestly say that these will NEVER be leaving me. Not only are they awesome, and historic, and awesome, and amazing, and did I mention awesome?, but they will always be a reminder for me of my time spent in France.
And these will be played. I hope to get them into games as much as possible. I want them to live their intended life.
Oh, and Mel even bought me a drink! I’m sorry the pub closed so early. Next time we’ll have to go to a place you recommend.
Also, it was a real pleasure meeting @Saoliver . Really nice guy, and put up with me talking his ear off.
Mike
PS, did I say just how awesome these things are?
So beautiful, Mike. You and Mel were like kids on Christmas looking over your new chips, jetons & plaques. And it was a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for being my international chip mule. I'll try to get some photos of my new set posted soon.
