| | | My Poker Stuff Collection
I was just recently introduced to ChipTalk, and in just a matter of a few months, I have managed to purchase enough stuff to make my friends and coworkers worry. Here I'm showing my new poker chip case which was custom built by JLH Wood Boxes. Look at the shine on the maple, I think it must have 4-6 coats of lacquer on it. Inside I have about 550 Pharaohs (also just arrived last week). Unfortunately the cards will have to come out as soon as my orange and black Pharaoh NCVs come from Europe next month.
I live in an apartment so I don't have room for a real poker table but since I have a nice hardwood table I thought I'd get a burgundy poker table top from CasinoFunZone. They did an awesome job. The felt won't rub off like the cheap green felt you get from Amazon or Ebay.
In the back, I have about 2500 chips, most of them being 13g Pro Clays with green wreath labels - similar to the Archetype but really really simple. I'll post more photos of them later. BestPokerChipLabels really did a nice job on them, a bit pricey but they seem to be able to read your mind once you give them your idea. I also have a large collection of plastic and paper cards. My friends ask me how many decks I really need to play. But then again, how many poker chips does one really need?

I'll worry when I break the table from having to many chips on it at once.... and then i'll only be worried if any of the chips broke

Need? None really to survive.
Want, hmmm where do I begin...
Just remember, when your friends think you are nuts because you have a bunch of chips, show them other CT members' pictures of their collections, and your friends will think you have a relatively small amount thereafter.
Welcome to the madness. |

Awesome case! I went to their website and they have some nice ones (all sold out right now though). I've been wondering were I'll put my SCS chips. Hmmmm.... |
