And you call yourself a PCFer? How can you not identify every single clay chip ever produced just from the edge spots??? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

In all seriousness, I gave them a brief study. I'm guessing possibly Tigers (because I'm clueless about those) but if I had to bet a dollar, I guess I'd bet custom CPCs.

What set of chips would you give a kidney for? Is it a set from a real casino? Is it a a set you would design and have made yourself? Is it a super hard set to find or a set out of your price range? For me currently it is probably the WTHC chips that came out at an inopportune time as I had just bought 1200 Pharaohs a 500 custom order from ASM (CPC) and purchased 320 TR King Deadwoods. The way the poker chip market was going i thought there would be plenty of time and other oppuopportunities that would be available. Upon returning it has gone the opposite direction that I expected and things have become very limited in opportunities. What set do u wish you had??

Kidney? No. But right now the original Dunes are up there for me. So pretty.
 
Right now it's propobly Bud Jones Condado Plaza or San Juan

OK, if this is truly a “DREAM” set, then I’m going for broke. This is NOT based on colors or designs or weights, simply casinos that have stood out the most in my mind over the years.

I want $1’s from the first casino I ever remember setting foot into - The Flamingo in Vegas
I want $5’s from the casino I prolly spent more time in than any due to living a mile away, Caesars Tahoe
I want $25’s from the first casino I ever played poker at - Ak-Chin in AZ
I want $100’s from the first casino I ever won over $1,000 at - Turning Stone in NY
I want $500’s from the casino I spent most my college years at, Greektown Detroit
I want $1k’s from my hometown casino, Horseshoe Cleveland (secondaries though please!)
I want $5k’s from the first casino I played at when I turned 21 (and I loved they were white) - The Mirage
I want $25k’s that are just generic, heavy, stupid dice chips. Because playing in home games is where I played BY FAR the most poker, and almost all those games just had the crappy dice chips…but I wouldn’t trade those experiences for the world.

I’d love to get some chips from Pointe Edward in Canada as I spent a decent amount of time there, The Horizon and/or Harvey’s Lake Tahoe since I spent a bunch of time in those rooms, and I’m sure a couple other places, but yeah, that’s my dream. A collection of chips from all the casinos that shaped me along the way.

My slightly less “dream” set honestly is my Horseshoe Cleveland set. Being from Cleveland, I love that I get to use the set of chips from our first casino. If I could only use one set for the rest of my life that’s my choice.

This looks doable on this forum.

Something similar to this was going to be my answer too. The amount of time I spent at Horseshoe Cleveland between when it opened and when it changed to JACK (ok even after it changed to JACK) are home to some of my best poker memories.

Seeing you sell off a huge amount of the chips ALMOST got me to bite on trying to put another set together. I’ve never owned a playable quantity of secondaries, so building a set of those is my “attainable” dream set 1a.

@Ben8257 has an Indiana Grand set that is my “attainable” dream set 1b.

These two casinos are where I’ve spent the most time, outside of home games when I was younger and maybe Casino Windsor when I first turned 19. I’d probably put together a limit set of polar bears if I could but I doubt that kind of quantity is out there.
