Thanks @BearMetal for these sweet dealer button racks, they are so well done! Thanks to you and , I guess I collect dealer buttons now

My pleasure, glad you like them! I gotta say that you're the first person to ask for a "PCF" barrel. It came out awesome; great idea!

And don't blame me about the dealer buttons. The giveaway clearly stated:

• BearMetal does NOT guarantee that DB racks won't cause an outbreak of DB buying or excessive NADBGB purchasing

Small Mail day received all the way from Canada

2 set of Buttons and Cut Cards

Thanks @mnebesny for helping me completed my NCC set now with accessory

 

[ImCrossland]

Got a text from my usual USPS driver saying I probably wanted to get this package early. Met him at the beginning of his route and as always, he was right. Thanks for the gear @CraigT78

Hated missing it but this still feels great to have. Oh and some chippies came in too.

I think my card addiction is as real as my chip addiction. I believe this is my 15th or 16th brand of cards I’ve added to my collection. I like em! The backs are unique and they have a good bit of stiffness to them with some nice sharp edges.

 

[rjdev7]

Wow. Love those backs! Very cool.

Thanks! I got em off Amazon from what seems to be a 3rd party game company. Not sure how many they have, but here’s the link:

That’s awesome! If you go in and they have other less easily accessible brands let me know! Still a handful of brands I don’t own yet.

edit: The site only has Marion Pro and Modiano. Maybe the store front will have more selection…

I wonder if their own cards are custom Modianos then? Are Modianos somewhat difficult to find in the US? I haven't tried them. I might as well pick some up if so.

They don’t get as much love on here but I love modianos, even the “Texas Poker” and “Cristallo” sets you can get Amazon for $13 a setup. Lots of texture to them which I like.

The Modiano platinums aren’t as common but come up from 3rd party sellers occasionally. They’re fantastic and definitely worth the $30 I paid for a setup.

Doubtful. IIRC Marion cards are printed in Taiwan.

Thanks. Yeah I think it was the platinums that I was thinking of.

Woah what mold is the Lexington on. First time seeing that!

Triclub I think it's called. Wish cpc offered it. Great mold

Wow, it really is! What company uses/used that mold? I’d definitely do a CPC custom set on that.

edit: are these Chips relabeled?

Yup. TriClub or MD-32. By the way:

Joe you are correct. They are made by the KUO KAU PAPER PRODUCTS CO., LTD. You can tell by the K Symbol which is printed on the ACE of Spades. It is the same company that makes Royal Playing cards. While I don't have any Royals I do have Marion Pro. I've read the Marion Pros are thicker and have a better feel to them than Royals.

Bobby is the coolest guy ever. Sends me a text with when to meet him at the beginning of his route if I have a package that requires a signature and if it’s regular priority he just texts me when he’s about to arrive to my house at his normal time.

Love USPS.

I bought a set of Royals and returned them. They were super plasticky, laminated-feeling. Felt very cheap. The Marion pros, on the other hand, feel fantastic.

 

[JesterTX]

Nice mail day!!!!!!!!! Will do some unpacking and post pics!!!

 

[John Conor]

Thank you @sleepypiggly
These are so cool! Excited to add some GPI ephemera to the collection.

 

[Nuhockey]

Thanks to @PAZ for sending me these Air-Tites for free when I posted a wanted ad. A great gesture. These fit my 43MM chips perfectly. Now that I know these holders are called Air-Tites it makes it easier for me to find when I need to get them.
OH thanks to @sleepypiggly for Year Of The Snake chip. It is awesome and hopefully will bring me good luck.
