You...Said..It...Right..

If I had all the money ,I have spent in the last 15 months, on Faux's, Nexgens, WPT and others to include labels for many of them (Lost count now) and all the cases, acrylic carriers and racks,and SHIPPING I could have a nice set of at least, 1000pc, Paulson's or Chipco custom chips or some other higher end clay chip.

I just see it, want it and buy it,(especially great sales) without really thinking of how many of the real upper-end chips I could have if I just waited.

Oh well...I'm still having fun.

I mean..I have 900 Desert Sands chips coming...do I need them? No..not at all. Do I want them? Yes...too much =)

Once all is said and done my countdown will look like :

500 10g "Faux Clay" chips
900 RPT Nexgen Chips with Custom Labels
900 Desert Sands Chips
750+ Custom Paulson Egyptians
500 Custom ASM Chips

Do I in any way need all that? Haha god no...but man is it fun.

Total cost estimate? Somewhere around $2k....pointless! But fun....

I don't know why anyone would pay $.50 per chip for Desert Sands anyway, if they were like $.12 maybe...I got samples of them last year and thought they were horrible. So I would say "no" you don't need them. The customs I think will be worth your wait though. And Paulsons are always good !!! Desert Sands?? I just don't like them.

Wow, I am sooo glad this is an old thread. For the last month or so, I have not been able to follow CT as obsessively as I want to, so for a minute my heart stopped when I read references to Ten's "new" Paulsons...WTF?? I thought -- have I missed some VERY big news? I finally looked at the dates of the original posts and realized they were talking about the Pharaohs.

Speaking of the Pharaohs, they were my first real chip. I bought about a hundred in the group-buy just because they looked cool. I had no idea what I was doing. As soon as I had my hands on them, I had to have more. And that was the beginning -- a little over a year later I have well over 4000 chips. And although I never "technically" whored myself for chips, I did volunteer to develop a new course just for the extra money, which went to buying my Matsuis zen chips....
