Some pre-opening Mail Pr0n. Can’t wait to get to it after 347,490 more Zoom calls.
Also fun note: an enterprising chipper (or post office clerk) who marked a package as “cremated remains” was able to get the package expedited through quickly. No one messes with the dead, I guess.

Nothing crazy in this shipment. I knew it wasn’t crazy chips, but knew I didn’t buy plastics, so assumed it’s mostly chipco or ceramics and such. I was sadly correct 
lol feel free to stop reading here. I'll use spoilers, not because anythings a spoiler, but just so I don't take up your whole screen. On to the chippies!
First box out of the gate had a little wrapping that said open me!
Got through the first couple boxes, and wouldn’t you know it’s almost all chipcos. 2 Racks of roulettes that I got for some reason as well, no idea.
Luckily, the next two boxes were a little better. Some ceramics that weren't loved by others and some bootiful T Molds!
Unfortunately, somehow, the next couple boxes were more of the same. Oh the humanity.
I was down to my last two boxes, somewhat sad. Got my T mold set so yay, but ummm....I had some nice stuff too? Am I gonna have to wait for all the boxes coming in later?
Tl;dr: Like 1935 Radisson chipcos (is that what they are?) and some other tidbits. Learned that I don't like weightless arcylic DBS, and I really don't like PCA fracs. Yay shaped fracs, boo for tiny tiny inlay that they tried squeezing a ton of words and characters on. It's like all chip no inlay. First time seeing them in person, someone get them out of my house
I did end up finding the snickers that @Josh Kifer snuck in a box some 8 months ago. I appreciate your assistance and willingness to collect, thank you.
Looking forward to the next 3-10 boxes on their way.

Not sure why these had a “cutsie” note but thank you! I fear these may be a gift from an unknown seller, and I have multiple purchases through these boxes.

I think I may have a bunch more of these coming? Still no idea for what reason. Maybe just to save them from murder or something.
Literally like first 3 packages I opened. Starting with 1300 Chipcos and started getting worried that's all I bought!?!

I really like the striped LCO $5s (I like all the LCOs). These 3 racks I overpaid for and sent from Canada, but this probably makes around 1K for a fun limit set that I'll never use. Meanwhile, a T Mold hotstamp set that I love.
Look at these pretties! Crappy picture, but easily the best T Mold hot stamp tourney set I think I've seen in the last year.

Hey, at least I got some fun stuff in!
Some racks of secondary Aztars, which were going to be one of only 2 sets I was keeping. The beautiful rack of Tonk fracs, which is supposedly to be in my actual keeper mixed Hot Stamp set, and then some Yellow coops, which are great, except I hooked up EU folks with my other Coop racks
Almost forgot the barrel of el dorado $3s, which are beautiful but I'll never find another barrel (@FordPickup92 @DMack got some for me?) and PCA Fracs.
Didn't think I had too many samples left in this go round. If you love something set it free, and I lost quite a bit of very loved samples in the months due to charity auctions and gifts. Luckily had some left! TRKs, BCCs, Customs, Paulsons, nice little mix.
Forgot DBs. Never held an acrylic DB. Wow, didn't think it'd have 0 weight. Fun for display, not a fan for actual use.

I always said you had dibs on that barrel if you want it. Ben said you had a full rack, but if you guys want to add to it, you know they're yours. Just say the word
And yeah not the most craziest chips or mail pr0n, but those BCC TMold I personally think have a way better stamp (both literally and quality) than what I always see pop up.

It's like a magazine cover. The partially fluffed pillows and half candle that makes it look like someone lives there. Casual guitar in the background. Lol sky and cloudcover even look photo shopped in (man I miss CA weather).
I keep hearing, "Man I wish I had that view" or "I wish I had a bankroll like *that* for chips". Naw fam, naw. You're all wishing for the wrong thing.
I wish I could set my house up like this, and not have two little children come and wrecking ball that sh*t in five minutes
Looking forward to seeing some chippies.
Added some chips. Now it’s just too much teal. I’m trying to make the Harbor Lights $100s as $1s. The other chip will be a frac. Which chips don’t fit?
Another shot in different lighting.

I drop the SYs.
If the hundos are your $1s, I don't want my fracs to take anything away spot wise.
I like that the Valley Ranches have a much more subtle spot color, and I like the spot progression from frac to $1 more, dependent on your $5.
that’s what I was feeling

Didn't realize you were leaving labels. Definitely would drop the SYs then, as the other two have a "horizon" type effect on the inlay. Hands down now. No question.

I agree. I think the spot pattern on the GVR look nicer with that black chip you have there.
I’m leaving the labels on my arc yellow set since I can’t bring myself to relabel the blue chip casino and the oversized horseshoes have giant inlays which will be a pain to remove.
the teal set I will relabel. Someone find me a $5 in quantity

Curious as to first thoughts? You're obviously quickly becoming a solid chipper, just curious to see the thoughts from "fresh eyes" for a set that the community really fawned over (appropriately in my eyes as well, love em).Couldn’t wait, so opened one package.

Incredible colors, weighty feel, and filled with whimsy and mirth. The inlay is surreptitiously charming...like a quick doodle from a famous pop artist while she drank her morning coffee; ephemeral, but substantial. Love them.
EDIT: (Translation, since my attempt at pompous humor fell flat
) "Bitchin colors. They feel like bricks. Kinda funny looking. The label looks like a kid drew it, but it made me smile. I dunno man, something about them...they feel solid. Love 'em."

Not to claim I know jack, but definitely seems to fit your style, given the background of your chip Pr0n and decor tastes.
You have an extremely non chipper way of looking at and describing chips, much less exact and without the proper vernacular, very organic. Feels like the same destination but a different journey.
In the chip set reveals that you're doing (I think your doing your own threads no? Other than mail pr0n?) I think it would behoove you to share your take and descriptions. EXTREMELY rare that someone purchases these types of sets while still having that virgin lens, fun to hear/read.
That made about as much sense as the prices you have been paying for all those chips you've been hoovering up.
Nice set though.
Edit. That was a bit mean. Half sorry about that. Pcf is tilting me hard today and you've copped it as a result.
Edit edit. Ok so I was being a total asshole.

Mike, you've been trolling me for a few days now, and while it doesn't really bother me, it makes wonder about the giant stick that seems to be inextricably stuck in your nethers -- are you OK? Do you need medical attention?
Now, about it not making sense -- anyone with a dimwit IQ could see that I was partly trying to get a laugh, and partly just pontificating. If you're used to trolling newbies and not having them bite back, you picked the wrong pup.
Do your thing, I'll do mine.
