Absolutely epic mail day!! If you are not a fan of my "Ben Books" then skip on by, but this one is important damn it!! Lol

It is one thing to have the funds and buy a rack of chips, be in the right place at the right time... It is another to spend nearly 2 years doing anything possible to piece together a rack! Early on I met @Lil Tuna and we chatted about the awesomeness of the Pick Hobson's Scrown TRKs. I explained that I really liked them and was ready to do whatever necessary to build a set. He told me it had taken him 2 years to find 30 of the fracs and said chipping had been good to him, he had found his complete minty rack and he wanted to send me a gift

This is what he sent me, my first 2 yellow PH fracs included... I was hooked! People like @JWC , @coolcustomer123 , @liftapint @AfterTheFact @HaRDHouSeiNC and several others have helped along the way. But mostly it was one or two chips at a time. Thank you all for helping me get to 73!

When I herd @RivieraDanny had made this big score I got my Hope's up but thought, those are probably going to be expensive and probably kept together for a sale. I reached out anyways and Dan was super nice and said he would help me finish my dream rack! I offered more money at the going rate and he truly hooked me up and asked for less! Dan you made a grown mans Dream rack come true today brother!!

Also a huge shout out to my amazing better half Brie @FordPickup92 who gets on eBay, the chip board and every other internet chip site everyday hunting PH fracs for me! I couldn't have done it without you love!

Thank you all that have helped me on this Grail rack journey, thank you PCF for being the best forum community ever!!!

A bit more cleaning and oiling and Finally Matt @Lil Tuna this impossible task will be compete! Couldn't have done it without you brother!!

Super nice to read about all the help you received building out that rack - one of the best fracs out there, if not the best.

Thank you very much sir!! They are truly amazing and liven up most TRK sets. We have played these with 4 different sets now and everytime you see that yellow on the table it is a true show stopper! Not many original Inlaid TRK fracs in playable quantities out there. This one is my favorite based off of the playability aspect.

There are a couple rivals that give it a run for the money as far as best! The Show Boat pink/purple quarter pie and Tropicana 1ST series neon pink/yellow quarter pie come to mind... but the PH's are absolutely up there, at least for me. Honestly

I thought it would take a few more years to complete the rack! But sometimes miracles do happen!! You truly have to want it that bad!! I paid over $20 a chip for a few of these, yes used, worn chips... no they are not worth that, but it was worth it for me to complete a rack!! 2 of them went over $20 on eBay and I let them go a while back, those 2 chips still haunt me, but doesn't matter now!!

Sorry just a big day guys! Little damn clay discs got me all choked up!! Lol

You're welcome for the heads up, though I'm sure you saw them before that ;)

Congrats buddy! One of the nicest chips out there.
