My new chips

So a while ago I bought some of these on ebay:



I saw pictures of them many months ago in a post i made about asymmetric designs, and I've been trying to collect Halloween chips for a while, so I was just interested.

And yes, I do realise that they will not be to everyone's taste.

Anyway, when I got the chips I really liked them, and I asked the vendor if she had any more. It turns out that she was selling the chips for her father in law in small sets every now and again, and that he was the original designer of the chips, which I believe were mode for a CCGTCC GB thing a while back. And yes, she had some more. So I took advantage of a trip to Florida last week, and I bought these as well.



And they're great! My first set of chipcos, and a reasonable cash or small tourney set. 600 total with a beakdown of 125 x $1, 150 x $5, 125 x $25, 100 x $100, and eh, 50 x $2.50 and 50 x $10. Really not sure what to do with the last two, but I wanted all the denoms in reasonable quantities.

In addition, took the opportunity to add to my Samurai's by getting another 100 x $5 off Michael, who included a chiptalk chip, one of the freedom chips, and another one that........I can't talk about

:Offtopic

So not bad in terms of getting some new chips, although I have to say that when i got back I was horrified to hear that the final chapter of TRK had already been written. I'm really sad that i missed out on that, particularly since i did actually try to put an order in just after the end of the KC GB, but Dennis bounced it..... ah well.

I find it an odd juxtaposition that you love these chips yet have a rubber ducky for an avatar...

Re: My new chips

Woh, very cool. I've always liked those chips.

NOW... get him to sell you the rights to reproduce those.

Then you'll be a P-I-M-P!

... oh, and rubber duckies are EVIL, aren't they? Shifty little bastards.
