Today, my Rat Rod project received its 197th unique $5 chip, and 85th unique $25 chip.

I don't have many Canadian chips in the set, so this one was a nice score. Interesting tidbits from chipguide:

Lost in transit? That's a new one to me.

Brings back some great memories. This is where I first started playing 7 card stud, 20+ years ago. It was in this dungeon like card room that was below ground in downtown Vancouver, beneath a hotel. Good times.
 
Thank you so much for the totally amazing and gracious gift @PAZ ! So awesome of you. I have been missing NYC, needed a card capper, always wanted to check out PNYs, and also worked in one of the buildings on this $500 so this will be well loved and bring me luck tomorrow.

Reordered a CPC color sample set and some 44mm samples. Big things to come?

Had you gotten rid of your previous samples, or just checking on the latest colors?

44mm scrolls are awesome BTW...... just saying.....

Yeah I sold my sample set after I ordered my cash and tournament CPC sets. At a very minimum I am placing another order for more quarters and $1s but I am also designing a fun odd denom chip.

I am debating a possible 44mm tournament set. Initially I was thinking A mold but I do actually prefer the scroll mold now that I have them in hand.

Likewise, been toying with 44mm mockups for several years now, I would love a set of them. Getting my 44mm bounty chips last year really stoked the fire, they're just awesome. Considering I have like 6 other nice tourney sets, it's tough pulling the trigger on another set at $4+ a chip lol. Plus I've been drawing blanks on an inlay theme.
 
Does it still count even if you're just re-shipping it?
This button is very pretty :cool @TheOffalo

Thanks! Looking forward to getting it. After months of not having any luck, I found two people willing to sell me theirs in very short succession. Decided to buy both just in case one fell through!

Well even “basic” 39mm THCs are $4 these days and there is no way I will ever own a Paulson 43mm set at those prices. Plus I can make a really efficiently small STT set. Plenty of ways to talk myself into it haha. We will see. Just kicking around ideas at the moment.

lol, had the same thought as well. But then realized I often have at least 12, and do I really want to limit this to a STT set? So $2500 quickly turns into $4+ grand :D
 
A holy grail showed up today. :) I've only waited fifteen years for this. One of the first chips that I saw when I started chipping were the Zens. Finally I get to see them in person and they look fantastic! :wow: Can't wait to use them. Thanks to @derekdd23 for pulling this group buy together, @Joe Harris for coordinating the sample sets and @Forty4 for fine job of packing and shipping them.

Which barrel is factory mint and which is relabeled?

When life gives you lemons... buy a lot of chips and feel better. But never forget said lemons.
