Ooo! Surprise early birthday mail! I wonder what might be inside...?

The answer...more CDI98! A total of 26 lovely minty $500s (1 with shaped inlay!) and 4 of those elusive $1000s. Plus 2 custom dealer buttons!

Thank you to @mooremo (who actually got me started on my CDI98 set) and @Kensco (who is as generous as they come). Thank you, fellas!
 
Apparently I missed like 3 pages somehow? I guess I only get the first notice someone posted and not the next 50, probably a good thing considering how jealous I am of everything above!

I just got this in today and I'm pretty sure it's the most minty fresh box I've ever seen marked fragile @BGinGA? Unicorn?

Bored not so fun fact: at their current posting rates - @saleen121212 will out post @BGinGA in 3 years, 3 months, and 2 weeks. Better watch your back if you want to keep that title @BGinGA ! Commute home, so fun.
Doesn't count nearly 10,000 posts on CT prior to migrating here. That's gotta be worth another year and a half or so at his current clip. :sneaky:

I go ultra hard on hobbies and typically get bored and move on to the next thing, hopefully I stick with this one. As long as I can keep a game together I should.
 
Second family reunion. If the blue edges are sharp on these, you are guaranteed to have sharp white edges. That's just how they wear.

Two racks of mint/near mint complete. There are a few in there below near mint, but a chip here or there in acquisitions can easily replace them.
 
I have a decent amount. They were my first casino set that I put together and I am quite fond of them myself.
I lived 15 min from rising son most my life. Played there a few times. They had a great golf course too.
 
I love this thread. In the last few weeks I think I've gotten 5 medium to large flat rate boxes full of chips. After the most recent one my wife asked if I needed any help (therapy). My response was that I needed more chips.

She gave me a look like I was an idiot. Then she pointed out that I'm running out of space for chips and I'm starting to take over other areas of the basement lol..
 
Go to the mailbox to get chips that have been delivered
Chips aren't there
WTF
Go back to the mailbox after you see the mailman there, still no chips
See mailman for a couple of days and expect him to maybe stop at my house, nope
2 days later realize chips were delivered to Orland Park IL and I live in Omaha :eek:

Same problem here. Custom built some shelves so I would have room to grow the collection. I've now filled the shelf, and have encroached on 4 other shelves.

The problem however, isn't too many chips. It's too small of a house.

Posts like ^that one^ are why we need a 'dislike' button, @Tommy .....

Hope you can get it sorted out, husker. :(

I cleared out the old novels (donated them to the local library) and took over the shelving for my over flow of sunsets and china club ones

I love seeing what other people are buying and getting. It's like a vicarious chip mail excitement.
