| | | Are chip preferences cyclical?
I have a question for everyone...
Do you find that your preferences for chips run in a cycle?
I mean, when I first started this love affair, I loved th&c - regardless of color and edgespot combo's, couldn't understand anyone liking anything else, especially the "Cheap" chips used by the Luxor (chipco) and Stardust (BJ). Hot stamps were cheap too, I needed a cool inlay. , then I thought the graphics capability of ceramics were the greatest, then the feel of BJ just got me hooked.
After ordering faux clays and joining the nation, I realized how cool a solid color chip is, and how much cooler it would be with a great hotstamp.
What's next? |

Definitely cyclical. One day I like my black faux clays the best, the next the yellows, and another day the greys. Around and around it goes. |

I agree with everything on this tread so far. One day I like clay blanks the next day inlayed clay the third day hotstamped blanks. I guess I'll have to own everything eventually. |

Remember when I was upgrading from my dice to some plastics with print. O'boy was I a happy camper. And then you all know the story.  |

I think my preferences are cyclical to some extent. This is a good reason to have multiple sets of different types of chips. It wasn't too long ago that I got my first expensive set -- JB 2005s. There wasn't room enough for any other chips, these were so good. Now, I like to play occasionally with Chipcos, All-Ins, and even cheap plastic Unicorns. Mix things up. |

What it is is we all want more, more, more ...
The voice inside everyone's head ... to some degree :
I'm going to buy a Paulson set ... at first I didn't really like ceramics, but I'll give 'em a chance now ... ehhh, those hot stamped clays looks pretty cool ... Faux's are so cheap, how can I NOT get a few? ... ooh, those new Paulsons are really cool ... new ceramic manufacturers? Let me get a few of those for a travel set ... I think it's time to get a custom clay set ... OOH! There's another NEW Paulson set! ... I can't live with just ONE custom set, maybe I should get a custom ceramic set while I'm at it ... you know what I'm missing? A small heads up set, maybe I can do labeled Nexgens ...
it never stops. |
