Seriously! WTF Vic!

I was told on Christmas that my present from Santa aka @pacmartine wasn't the only one coming... curious as to what this meant @FordPickup92 walks into day with a package with the Label ripped off... it felt like something she had orchestrated with @moechar her partner in crime... she starts filming as I am opening it, no idea what to expect... OMG

One of my dream cappers! No idea how many times I walked through that tiny corner of the Famingo they called the Margaritaville Casino, but unfortunately I wasn't a chipper back then.

As soon as I got into the hobby my very first thought was OMG a playable set of Margaritaville chips, even a mixed set from the different casinos would be bad ass! That dream was quickly crushed when I saw how much these chips go for and I have never seen any of them in quantity!

Obviously a huge Parrot Head. I have seen Jimmy Buffet 26 times in concert and dedicated my entire torso tattoo to a Parrot Head theme!

This is from Bries first time seeing Buffet with me

Anyways that set was never going to happen unfortunately so singles collecting it was. Almost every picture you ever see of me drinking beer is Landshark, call it piss water or whatever you want that is always my first beer choice!

Instantly fell in love with this chip but the asking price was a bit out of my price range... and by a bit, it was a lot! Lol

So Vic wanted to do something nice, he knew of my "beach themed obsession" with chips as we have discussed dreaming of playing a poker game on a beach with a Landshark in hand many times. This is too kind my friend, I promise it will be cleaned and oiled this evening and will be in front of me come SQM this February.

We can make that happen at SQM ... if the wind cooperates

Aw man, jealous! Have fun!

Got a "reminiscent" chip today. I used to play here on summer vacations to PCB it the early 2000's. The dog track was a ton of cheap fun as well. Great memories.

Thank you so much @HaRDHouSeiNC , I really appreciate you releasing this one to me!

 

[BearMetal]

I ordered a PCF calendar and a mug with chips on it arrives.

Late mail day from me.

My buddy @Chawks45 heard I liked the Venetian 1s so he hooked me up with 440 more of them! The level of care to pack the chips and put paper inside to protect the chips must have taken a while to complete but it’s much appreciated!

 

[jr8719]

After travelling back to see the family this week, I attended my first ever PCF meetup with @jr8719 (OK, Meetup is a stretch.....we grabbed a Starbucks!) But it was great to put a face to the name and put the world to rights for a few hours

So not a mail day, but was gifted this beauty for my card protector collection. Thanks bro!

Mate, absolutely great to finally meet you in-person after the best part of two years!

Hope that card protector brings you some run good in 2022.

Look forward to actually felting some of our chips together at a UK meetup later on in the year, hopefully.

@Spinettis Gaming once again helping with my addiction. This group was stuck in Pontiac MI with the USPS for almost a week, but I had faith. Next up, a few of these need a bath. I can’t have hooker juice in the home, I have kids you know!

 

[jpietrella]

There she is.

I almost freaked out, then saw those said “Reno Hilton.” *sigh*

The cookies are awesome too!

Shaped acrylic DB showed up yesterday. The center circular area appears to be slightly smaller than 60mm, so it’s a decent size. Very cool! Thanks @ReallyGoodUsername !

 

[megarises]

Finally! I think Lambeau approves…

 

[satisfyingbutton]

Massive props to @AWenger for helping me find some well loved RHC frac candidates for the Majestic Star set. Now I just have to figure out which ones become the real deal... Apologies for the not so great photo quality.

If anyone else has any more of these well worn and delightful beauties, my messages are open.

 

[BearMetal]

Finally got around to unpacking my big box. I got to say that these cards mold chips are an unbeatable value.

 

[ImCrossland]

What a reward it was!

Thanks to @wonderpuddle for the awesome package and putting together the Circus tournament design contest. By the look of the reward, it appears this contest was a perfect fit lol

Took a while but found one!

 

[NotDunric]

Added on some bonus candy to my Blaqk Palms ceramic set from BR Pro that arrived today. So very, very pleased. A handful of the additional buttons will be made available to interested collectors in due time!
