I joined the site on 2-16-06, so I just crossed the 1 year mark.

I started out a year ago with 1000 dice chips. I was making plans at the time to put together a cash game set by using real casino chips bought at the cage - $1, $5, and $25 - would have been pretty spendy.

Now, 1 year later I own the following:

1500 TR King Custom Suicide Kings
675 TR King Deadwoods
400 Paulson Starbursts
1180 Paulson New Yorkers
400 Paulson Private Cardroom Hot Stamps
500 Paulson World Top Hat and Cane
300 $5 Harold's for Fun 6th rack
4000 PI Bellagio Tourney Ceramics
20 Aluminum 500 count chip cases
4 Acrylic 1000 count bridcages
2 Mahognony Chip Boxes
2 Lowes Tool (Chip) carriers
God knows how many 100 count acrylic chip racks
Around 40 setups of plastic cards of every variety
2 poker genies
Cut cards, dealer buttons, etc. galore
4 racks of various chips I've collected along the way
2 tables - 1 nice, 1 not so nice
A hand full of beautiful plaques designed by the one and only BW

I think I would have gotten off cheaper just buying the chips at face value, but you know what they say about hindsight.

Anyway, it's been a great year. The highlight is the competition every Thursday night. Both my team and Chiptalk have been a great addition to my daily routine. Wonder what the list will look like after another year?

Some pics for your enjoyment!
