Welcome to PCF! Enjoy. First set before joining PCF were CC Pharaohs. Have hit the felt a few times but then discovered where to mine for gold!
Very cool! And I'm sure that potential future set category will keep on growing!

Borgata $10 chips, some of the nicest $10s I’ve ever seen.
First set was dice chips. Used them for a few years for tournaments. But shortly after getting them I learned about Paulsons and started building a Pharaoh’s cash set which I used for several years and expanded to include a tournament set. Eventually I had about 4K of them.
Sold them off long ago once I bought my PCA secondary set and a few other Chip Room sets.

All primaries. Some very good condition, some good, and others pretty rough. But my rack of 100s is in very good shape! Current totals: .50 - 100, $1 - 500, $5 - 1000, $25 - 200, and $100 - 100. I really wish I would have picked up some of the 500s. That is one beautiful chip. I am currently looking for a couple more racks of fracs.

Hello and welcome!
My first set was China clay set which I have sold.
My first Paulson set was roadhouse and thanks to @Gear i was able to add a rack of relabelled fracs to it.
My first ceramic set of Nevada Jacks from Brpoker.
And my collection still growing for someone who play poker once every 2-3 months

Great question, welcome.
My first set was customs, sadly before I had any knowledge on how to build a set, but they still came out great. Then BCC Desert Plams. First Casino set were Treasure

my first set, custom Matsui’s. Definitely over did it. I had already placed the order before joining the forum. I love all the chips, but definitely could have spread out the funds. I was naive to have thought one set was enough

St. Jo Frontier casino cash set !!!
First real set? ~700-piece THC SCVs, Starburst on one side, LK hotstamp monogram on the other, in the original case. Four colors, white, red, green, black. I still use ’ em. Beautiful, solid chips. Not sure if they are leaded, but I think so.
No idea who LK was, but I tell new players these belonged to Lenny Kravitz...

My Mom bought me my first set, from a thrift shop. I think I was 15. These were pretty cool in 1989, and they served me well all through college.

My first set were plastic interlocking chips in a carousel - as many chips as I could fit in the slots plus one of the holes for cards. Whites were worth a penny, reds a nickel, blues were a dime and the hard to find yellow chips were a quarter. At the time, this was a pretty good set because of the carousel and the uncommon yellow chips.

11.5g "royal flush" chips, given as a 40th birthday gift from my co-workers who I played with at the time. I still have them, and likely always will. Joined Chiptalk a few years after that, and got a ceramic tourney and cash set. Last year I then got a BCC solid tourney set. And now I'm considering a clay cash set, even though we rarely play cash.
My first chip purchase was a 500 piece Happy Days Chipco Set I bought off eBay about 6 years ago. The seller was @TheChipRoom . From his website I discovered chiptalk and from there I discovered PCF. There ya go! Still have them to this day.

My first set was actually @Boother36 red white and blue interlocking chips we started using in the late 80’s. My dad had a set too. Boother would bring the “tackle box” which included interlocking chips and paper cards. We went on like this for years, great hazy memories.
One of our buddies was getting married around 1995 and a big bachelor party was planned. Boother knew some of those shady guys from our high school class of 86 were going to be there (we were 1985). He needed chip security at this party due to high stakes drunken gambling. The obvious answer was drill a hole in the middle of each plastic interlocking chip, sheer genius!
I think and hope the tackle box is still in cold storage in his basement. How about a pic Boother!?!?

Yup, it's still tucked away safely in the basement. I'm not sure they will make an appearance on the felt over my Jack's, but maybe they can come out for a quick peek-see for old time sake at my next game!!
Here is a little teaser!!

Technically it was dice chips but my first “real” set were the Tiki King ceramics. I had those for roughly 30 seconds before buying Atlantic Clubs from CPC. Had the Atlantic clubs for around 2 hours before starting a WTHC set....
